There are lots of good conservative candidates out there. Don’t get stuck on one of many.

Actually I agree. There’s no need for us to form on Palin yet.

Right now she is the best contender - by far - but it’s simply not primary season yet. Let’s keep our powder dry.

And I agree with the poster. Send nothing to the RNC!

I like Sarah alot but I am not so sure she is my first or even second pick for potus. It will be a shame (and major loss) if her supporters take their bat and ball and go home if she didn’t win. Might I remind everyone what that “I’m not voting for McCain” got us?

There are a lot of good conservatives out there. Yes. But the situation is that the choice among conservatives is Palin or one-of-the-others. For Republicans generally it is either Palin or Romney. The Democrats will vote for Romney and there will be a lot of them voting in the Republican primaries. The only viable alternative to Palin for Conservatives will be someone who comes on so strong in the next year that he is well beyond where Palin is now. That is not a realistic expectation and the last one to come up quickly was Goldwater. Reagan was not a shooting star. He plodded away making the necessary connections and planting his markers for 8 years at least before he became The One and even that was a near thing at the Convention. And he didn’t have to contend with massive Democrat voting in the Republican primaries. Palin faces that unless Soetoro has serious opposition from the Clintons.
