Like Palin’s politics but she’s too radioactive now. Jeb Bush no way. Rick Perry—Gov. good hair perhaps but some dark horse golden conservative out there to ride but there are scant few to foot the bill.

DeMint or Barbour will win the nomination process.

They will then pair whomever wins with either Ryan or Christie as VP.

Ya heard it here first. It’s the only thing that makes sense considering the electoral college.

I love Palin too, and what she brings to the process...and I don’t particularly care that she’s ‘radioactive’ (that might be a good thing) but I have to wonder exactly what she brings to the table in terms of electability.

She’s from a VERY small state, that really isn’t considered ‘part’ of a voting bloc..it’s isolated. I am not sure exactly what states she ‘brings’ back into the Republican fold.

DeMint, Barbour hopefully can regain the South (FL, NC and VA) and someone like Ryan from the Midwest hopefully could bring along WI and make OH, IN competitive. If it was Christie, and he brought NJ that would be HUGE.

Sarah has ‘ideals’ (which I like) but someone like DeMint has the same ideals along with cred and regional pull. I’d vote for Sarah in a NY minute, but just not sure what exactly makes her electable at this point.

Make no mistake about it. In today’s Media, ANYONE who gains the nomination on the Republican side will be radioactive. If that’s truly your opposition, you won’t be voting Republican.

She’s no more radioactive than Reagan was.

ANY true conservative is going to get that treatment. We have to decide ...do we want someone the media likes (like John McCain, he was their darling) or do we want a real conservative, and have the guts and strength of character not to be deterred by their smears and ridicule?

I don’t want an elite approved media darling, sorry.

It’s Sarah or no one for me.
