couldnt have said it better myself (and she is very electable)

It depends on how angry the American public is in 2012. If the placating-pork providing-socialist in charge can convince enough people that self reliance (in a social/political sense) is a lost cause then she will lose.

To begin with, Palin is by no means poorly educated; she merely did not graduate with a degree from an Ivy League institution...

Every president after Reagan has been an Ivy League graduate. I'm not impressed by the credential.

Run Sarah Run!

[Pride in the USA]

An excellent read.

America, is so fortunate to have Sarah Palin as the best candidate for President in 2012. She has character, is well grounded, has family values, respects the US Constitution, is a Christian, is brave, not afraid to take on the good ole boys, and definitely has not been corrupted by Washington DC politics.

SHE HAS MY VOTE!!

Excellent essay — one to bookmark and share.

[B4Ranch]

The liberal-lefts assessment of her is not a negative but a major plus. The fact that she stood up and is still standing proudly after the barrage of lies and insults spewed by the liberal-left during the Primaries shows me she has something that is lacking amongst our legislators, a rigid backbone.

It will be very hard for Sarah Palin to be elected President. Or Dog Catcher.
let's face it, the entire Democrat party, 90% of the media, the Republican party nabobs and RINOS will all be out there campaigning against her.
Nope, even though she is my choice, I don't think it possible. My guess is the Republican establishment will give us another old dog whose turn it is and Obama wins again.

Palin has redefined “gravitas.”

[HerrBlucher]

There is only one way to truly find out if Sarah is electable. Conjecture needs to meet reality at the voting booth. Run Sarah Run!

So, then, did the GOP elite think McCain ... and Dole ... were electible, or were they just capitulating the race to the Dems and using McCain/Dole as fillers?

Surprisingly, over one-fourth of the GOP think Gingrich is electible, based on the various polls.

[Shaking head in disbelief.]

So will Gingrich or Huckabee or JBush be the filler to allow Obama a 2nd term?

[rotundusmaximus]

Thanks for the post! Very insightful and well put, Sarah Palin has a lot more “gravitas” than all the rest! Including the present President.

[marron]

She faces a daily fire-hose of media attacks and mockery (and more from the elite of her own party). She shrugs it off for the most part with good-natured aplomb.

If she is able to keep on doing what she does, and continues to stay in Obama’s face, and continues to buck the GOP elite, she will be ready to step into the White House. Time will tell but she has managed to thrive when others would have folded. She has managed to thrive when they thought they had her beaten.

When she comes out with her new reality show, Sarah Palin’s Afghanistan, you’ll know she’s running.

I live in Maricopa, Arizona, where Bristol Palin just bought a house for $172,000 cash. There are reports that Sarah is also thinking of buying here. I plan on staking out Basha's and Fry's (the 2 grocery stores in town) so I can "accidentally" run into Bristol, at which time I'll see what I can find out regarding her mother! :)

She's electable, and I'll vote for her if she's the nominee.

I happen to favor Mike Pence, however - he shares Sarah's best qualities, brings many of his own, and is undefined by the MSM. I believe he'll run, and I'm certain he'll win.
