Palin has earned the right to run if she chooses. Despite the left’s caricature of her, Palin’s résumé more than qualifies her as a top-tier candidate. She brings almost 20 years of public service experience to the table. She has served as city council member, mayor, chairwoman of Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, governor and GOP vice presidential nominee.

For me, Sarah Palin was qualified to run for president ever since she turned the age of 35, having been a US citizen for 14 years and been born here in the United States to American parents.

This voter’s attention was turned to 2012 about three years ago.

Sarah Palin definitely has the right to run for President, no doubt about it. I would suggest that we not close our eyes to others though. Mike Pence, Chris Christie are just a couple that should also run. During these times, we need to get away from having to choose the best of the worst. We can no longer afford to let the politicians tell us who is going to run. We need to pick the best of the best this time around.

Your excellent post is missing a word in the title: “run”, as in “right to run for President.”

Ping to decent article from Politico (the broken clock site).

If we want a GOP nominee prepared for the rough-and-tumble of the general election, then we need a rigorous primary.

Money sentence.

I find it really odd that not one candidate has announced yet. I thought after 2006, we were in 2008 campaign mode already (at this time).

Nobody has the right to be President.

To have the right to run for President, all you have to be is a Natural Born Citizen who is at least 35 years old, been a resident in the United States for 14 years, and not yet been elected to the office twice.

And even those requirements are, apparently, flexible...

Grover Norquist. Interesting. It seems Mitty has instructed his minions to appear ‘nice’ and inviting to Sarah. He has some devious strategy with this.

the right to be president is conferred by the electorate.

Yes, in that sense, she's had it from day one.

Sure, would you announce knowing what happened to Hussein's past opponents and 'fellow' church members?

The choice will boil down to about 5 or 6 RINO’s and 1 true conservative. I say lets take the chance on a true conservative for once (Sarah P).
