Most FReepers are informed enough to know that she was the Mayor of a town and the Governor of a State. And, if that isn’t “enough,” most FReepers take into account that she has FAR more executive experience than the current occupant of the White House. And, finally, as a general rule, most FReepers just have enough common sense to KNOW we can trust Sarah’s judgment and personal principles as opposed to those of, say, Barack Obama.

___________________________________________________

Mayor of a town with fewer people than most State University student populations.

Governor until she quit halfway through of a state with the third lowest GDP a population that is smaller than that of twenty US cities and a greater number of counties.

Since we all know that the dear leader has no qualifying experience one would hope that freepers would look for something a little more substantial than "she couldn't be worse".

Michele Bachmann,
Alan West,
Jim DeMint,
Steven King (Iowa)

I really like your choices!! If I had to pick one (and it's a tough choice), I think I'd go for DeMint.

We have to be at least mindful of the candidate carrying no "baggage"...or at least a minimum. The left will go on the immediate smear offensive and soon as the name is announced. Ms. Palin (as the article points out) is too tough for them to damage anymore. They've no ammunition left for her. But the new candidate is going to face the full brunt of lies, smears, half truths, spin, hate speech, targeting (for real), and other diatribes from the left.

They've got to be ready to face it...dish out as good as they get....and attack the little tin god and his loyal minions for being exactly what they are....muslims, socialists, communists and American haters.

In other words, democrats.

We know Ms. Palin is, but is DeMint tough enough?

LOL! It's too bad you thought you had to write that.

To me the biggest obstacle she will face is within the republican party itself. The appearance of an Republican Party executives at 60 Minutes about 8 months ago was not a coincidence. In that interview he described her as someone who was really not ready to become a Vice-President or a President of the United States. The Republican Party establishment is thinking that she will appeal only to a narrow segment of voters.

Does she get Secret Service protection as an announced candidate?

No big deal.

The lady (and all around her) ever need any security, I know at least one ol' Warmonger who would volunteer for the job in a heartbeat.

Only problem with that is if the media pukes get too close, I see nothing but black jammies and go with the worst case of No ROE Flashback you could imagine.

I won’t call you an idiot. That would be hate speech.

But if you really think that anyone would have heard of Sarah Palin if she hadn’t been a VP candidate, you are approaching that category.

Good read, but I disagree with the guy. BO is beatable.

Also, and I'm sure that there are plenty of FReepers who will disagree with me..... but I think that Palin is unelectable in 2012.

The MSM, like them or not, have been successful on the hatchet job they've done on Palin. Doesn't mean I like it, but I call 'em like I see 'em.

At first I used to think the same. But all you gotta do is look at her life and how she has lived it. She is the only politician I have ever seen, ever, that talks the talk and walks the walk.

Even RR was somewhat neutralized when the congress held the purse strings to defeat the Soviets.

Ike changed when he came to office.

Maybe she could stay true to her word. All I know is I am sick and tired of Romneys, Bushes, Nixons, Huckleberries, Macaniac and all the others that don’t have the gonads to lead this country.

I am sick of intellectuals like Carter, Clinton, Obanny and the other ilk of the left. Intellectuals can go play onthe railroad tracks.

Kindly do not try to apply the ridiculous label "pro-0bama" to me, merely because I will not vote for Mitt Romney under any circumstances.

You prefer Obama to Romney. Obama being re-elected is "fine by me." Then you wine I mis-characterized your words? Get a spine and back up your opinion.

You say "I will not vote for Mitt Romney under any circumstances." Will you actually pull the lever for Obama if it's a close race between Romney and Obama? You sound like a Pro-Obama Freeper not just a "Obama-Enabling Freeper." Is that a more comforatble label for you to wear?

Get a spine and

Get a forebrain, and while you're at it a new pair of spectacles. I did not address the matter of 0bama being in the race, to be reelected, or not.

Are you comfortable with being a socialism-enabling freeper? Because that's what a vote for Romney would make you.

back up your opinion

Again, HAND. That means I don't care enough to send the very best.

Maybe Ambassador John Bolton, Governor Haley Barbour, Governor Bobby Jindal (if it turns out he is NBC), Senator Fred Thompson or someone like that...

Quite simply, no one else in the potential Republican field will be as trustworthy to conservatives on the issues, and less likely to back down, than Sarah Palin.

That's what I believe. Who better to fight Obama and his minions?

Of course you are correct, which is why she should run a 3rd party and destroy the Republican Party for good.

For is it the GOP who protect the Democrat Party, and refuse to do battle with them.

In order for us to destroy the commie-libs and their media..we must REMOVE their enablers...the GOP.

I’m hoping that Sarah does run for President. Not only because I think she’d be the best one we’ve had for decades, but also if she decides not to run, that would send a signal to those who’ve been attacking her and her family that their methods work.

No matter who runs the MSM will paint anyone who opposes Obama as a racist bigot. The elite Republicans hate her just as much as the Democrats. I hope she runs. It won’t be any more of a failure if we elect a McCain type RINO to the White House.

Yes. You conveniently left out Obama's re-election. And you tell ME to get a forebrain!

Yet you RESPOND. Admittedly with nothing but stupidity and condescension, but it is the best an Obama-Enabiling Freeper could do. I don't think you know what HAND is.

I would love for her to run but still don’t think she will..That said, my driving force for her to declare is simply so she gets secret service protection. There’s no doubt in my mind she is not safe.

I think she will run, if she feels led by God to do so. As far as her safety....sad, but very true.

I guess I caught you with my questions:

Just out of curiosity, have you read her 2 books? Have you read all her op-eds? Have you reviewed her records in Wasilla and Juneau? I’m guessing the answer is no to all of the above. If not, I’m sure that the folks here can set up an exam for you (not that we wouldn’t just trust such an honorable person as you).

What a pansy assed loser!

Sarah won't take any such 'olive branch'.

She is NOT a RINO.

She has more cojones than the entire GOP and the entire Executive Branch combined.

She is the REAL DEAL, not some fabricated Hannah Montana personality.

All this gibberish about her is EXACTLY like the garbage people were saying about Ronald Reagan.

Sarah is going to be even better than Reagan, if that is even possible.

And, like Reagan, she will be made of Teflon.

The press will dis her and dis her and dis her, and every time she will look good.

Occasionally she will say something colorful, as Reagan did, but, all that will ultimately work in her favor.

Let the bombing begin in five minutes!

I agree and disagree. Obama is indeed beatable, and the media has been conducting a hatchet job on Sarah Palin. However, inspite of the attacks on her, Republicans actively sought her endorsement in last year's election campaign anyway, and most of them won.

Coupling that with Obama's record, I think she's definitely electable.
