What else could she could without appearing as an ungrateful wretch, after all, McCain picking her brought her national prominence.

She’s batting very well in her endorsements.

That’s why you hear such angst about her.

She’s become a powerhouse.

"Please, forget about Palin president and forget about Gingrich president."

Please tell us who you're for.

Sarah Palin will run for President. She will blow through the primaries like a tornado, and she will be the Republican nominee.

It is my sincere hope that you are right on the money here. I think that she really does have a chance of winning, remember the huge crowds that she drew?

Palin is “less electable” than OTHER republicans, eh! You mean the limp-wristed, spineless, piss-ant-campaign running RINOs like Juan McCain for example?? Oh he was VERY impressive in his manly quest for the UNDECIDEDS!!! Yes, Juan bravely excoriated REPUBLICANS across the country, criticizing them unmercifully for actually TRYING TO WIN!!!! Naturally he’s the type of republican candidate EVERY leftist prays the party once again nominates. A mealy-mouthed, gutless butt muncher. No wonder they have such contempt and hatred—in reality, FEAR—when it comes to the Palins of the world.

The progressives aren’t finished and they never will be. The fight against them will go on. Never forget that they own education, energy, labor, land use, now health care, and even food production to a meaningful extent. Just because we finally woke up to this doesn’t mean it’s over for them. Not yet, anyway. It just means the fight is on. Their foe has awakened. Please don’t mistake that for “game over.”

A Palin vs Clinton in 2012 would have over 60% of the eligible voters casting their ballots.

NO ONE brings out conservatives in droves to vote then the mention of Hillary Clinton.

After the last 2 years of catastrophic failures by Obama, his media and his merry band of corrupt democrats, even Elmer Fudd could beat this incompetent America hating jackass.

I was brought up with Elmer Fudd, as a child I knew Elmer Fudd, Elmer Fudd is a friend of mine and Obama is no Elmer Fudd.

Palin is going to kick Wonder Boy’s teeth out and mop up the floor with what’s left of this craven lickspittle, Obama.

Obama will leave the White House in shame and crying all they way back to his ghetto boys.

I am not so sure about a race between Palin and Clinton. Palin is strong and she has two more years to get even stronger, but America was stupid enough to vote in their pet Black guy, they could easily be counted on to vote the Clinton trash back in.

Heck, maybe Clinton will return the White House china and silverware. AND, change all of the White House lighting to black-lights, to make it easier to find Billy’s stains.

I doubt that will be a reason he won’t run. Clinton will defeat him in a primary contest, if she wins. You already see lots of high-profile libs abandoning Zero for ‘anybody.’ Anybody, as in Nanny Mayor Bloomberg.

If he runs, especially as an independent, it could be like Crist, where he splits the lib vote, or he might have the money to buy the election. There are lots of scenarios.

I’m all for Palin. She clearly frightens the left, and she is basically the only prospect we can trust not to devolve into a squish or RINO (Huckabee’s a populist, Romney’s healthcare debacle, anybody from DC).

I like DeMint, Coburn, and Inhofe, but we need somebody NOT currently in DC.

Bobby Jindal is another excellent option. I’d like to see a Palin/Jindal ticket, followed by Jindal/Allen West. Unfortunately, I think it is HIGHLY unlikely Palin can choose a VEEP like Jindal. Instead, we’ll be stuck with an “experienced” Washington insider.

Ronald Reagan was truly great, but I think we would have been better off he selected Kemp as his running mate in lieu of Bush.

Anyway, I’ll put my money where my mouth is and try to lock it up early to prevent any destructive primary...on 2 January, I’m sending the max contribution to SarahPAC.

The day she opens an exploratory or campaign committee, I’ll max out to them too. In the meantime, I donated after the AZ primary was over - I didn’t want my money going to McCain.

My husband says the same thing. It is the conservative republican women and the american people that are turning this ship around.

Their fear gives me a smile and warm feeling.

Their fear is delicious.

What I HOPE happens is that they have a knock-down, drag out, vicious primary in which both of them take the gloves off and really drag the other through the mud.

Don’t forget the Jewish vote. By rights, Jews should back Sarah.

“...who will be her opponent in the General Election”

IMHO...a Palin nomination is the end of th e”Bammy presidency...because Hillary will be gunning for him and the Dem nomination...and probably get it...

Gov. Palin is positioning herself well for a Presidential run if she so desires. The elites in the GOP will have to be pulled into place kicking and screaming. They don’t think she is electable. GO SARAH GO!!

It’s like comedian Dennis Miller said...

“I’m voting for Sarah Palin because she pisses off the right people.”

On election day 2012, I would crawl over broken glass while being shot at (if I had to) in order to vote for Sarah Palin.

Please, forget about Palin president and forget about Gingrich president.

Why is that?

Do you have some hidden knowledge that allows you to see the future?
