Freedoms Defense Fund has already run a pro-Palin ad in IA and NH. http://www.freedomsdefensefund.com/index.shtml
I’m not crazy about an even longer election cycle, but with 0bama raising $750 million this time, and you can bet he’s going to go for at least a billion in 2012, anyone even interested in running has to start soon in order to be able to fairly compete. They don’t want to be dependent on public financing, and be outspent 5 to 1 like McCain was.
Thanks for the link! I totally concur. I don’t want to see a prolonged election cycle either but my gut tells me the dems are getting ready to steal another one in MN and this is just insane. We gotta have a candidate that has as much of our conservative principles as possible (we’re not all simese twins you know). But we got to have a real person as a candidate, who sincerely wants to be a public SERVANT.
No candidate is going to be perfect philosophically or in their personal lives, but we have the real deal in Sarah and we gotta stop discarding people cause they had a few bumps and bruises. I always liked Sarah during the camapaign, but when she turned down that government raise-—that did it for me she was my candidate for 2012!
One thing that definitely is needed is for the Republicans to learn all of the ins and outs of getting around rules and laws. The Dems seemed to have all of the angles figured out way in advance and answers for anyone who might question what they do or did. The way they raised money on the internet with untraceable debit cards and then outsmarting McCain by having Obama refuse to keep his word on public funding was a stroke of genius, as much as I hate to admit it.
