I’ve qualified a few times on this thread that she has to run a good campaign to win. But she is the best natural politician our side has had in a generation and IMO the only one other than Romney capable of getting the nomination.

Close observers could have forecasted (and did forecast) a Romney v. Palin battle three years ago. That’s why Romney’s paid hacks didn’t even wait until McCain lost in ‘08 to go after Palin.

Excellent point. Thanks for the reminder.

Romney flooded Iowa with glossy brochures and robocalls in 2008, but self-destructed when Jan Mickelson needled him on his faith.

Romney went hysterical on-air--yet Mickelson was merely acting in character as the smartest guy in the room.

Sarah presented as a phenom when introduced on the scene--and took the failing McCain effort back from a touchback--but couldn't score.

Now the bloom is off springtime for boy-king and he's vulnerable.

The America which rolled back the congress in 2010 won't go for the glazed donut in 2012.

The process will produce the best contender.

I promoted Goldwater in 1964 but the Left painted him as menacing a little girl plucking petals.

Sarah's weathered all the unfairness experienced by Rick Perry and Herman Cain and the Left has failed to take her out.

She campaigned for Rick Perry and will appear at Liberty with Herman Cain--so I don't see any need to detract--

--but with Romney, there's a danger.

The devil has power to assume a pleasing shape--

--and this devil only pretends to the principles of conservatism.

It's the classic social-fiscal-defense triangle, and he's wobbly enough for Barbara Bush.

What's a little more difficult to explain is Ann Coulter--I have four of her books, but on Mitt, there's no rational explanation.

Obama has fooled most for four years--but not us.

We saw the crypto-marxist, closet-islamist threat, the hatred of the constitution and the unborn.

In this exorcism the faith ought to be pure enough to survive the putrid flames impending.

It's an existential threat.
