" I know this won't make people here happy. I just don't think Palin has what it takes to top a national ticket. Call it depth, call it timber. I just keep hearing the same phases from her that were fine at first, but show a lack of depth at this point."

Do yourself a favor and research about Sarah Palin and her involvement to bring about the Alaska Highway pipeline which TransCanada Corp is going to build. It is not only impressive but the natural gas pipeline will contribute 6%-8% of the USA's natural gas needs. Given that Iran, Russia, and Qatar are in the process of building a natural gas cartel, Palin has just won a geopolitical economic war against our enemies. And she thumped ExxonMobil, ConnocoPhillips, and BP in the process! That's brilliance!

Don't sit in front of the TV and get fed that snippy nonsense about Palin. Go find online magazine articles from the energy industry that discuss Palin and the pipeline.

I know that Palin has won a geopolitical economic war and has made forward and significant steps to energy Independence in America, I can't say the same about McCain, Biden, or Obama.

Because anyone who questions the merits of her at the top of the ticket is an MSM robot and clearly a troll, right? How many times must it be said? I like the woman, A LOT. She has a clear record of excellence and conservative governance. But I *personally* don’t THINK she has the ability from a policy depth standpoint and a rhetorical standpoint to lead a counter-revolution among us, the base, and to inform the braindead middle why conservatism matter. I think Jindal does. Flame away.

This “Sarah is the only one for us!” is the same type of insular thinking that got us to this point. Not everyone - least of all the people who still watch the evening news and Saturday Night Live - thinks like we do. That stinks, but it’s reality.

Thank you for proving that if a person really wants to dig around the information is out there! If people think she sounds "folksy" and is a hick from the sticks, guess again. Pointing out the fact that she took the big boys from oil, to the whipping shed, is well worth noting.
40 Billion dollar deal. That's not chump change anywhere on the planet. Most executives will never see a deal or that magnitude. The more you know about this woman, the better she gets! Thanks again Avocado!

The more the libs, Dems, FR moles and RINOs attack her, the more I am convinced that Sarah Palin will be a force to be reckoned with.

All she really needs is the right mentor to be as much of a wonk on policy issues as will be expected of her in just a couple of years’ time. I nominate Fred Thompson.
