If Palin runs for president: Her strengths won't be a lot of help

Welcome Back, Dad

I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

~Michael Reagan, conservative talk show host, son of President Ronald Reagan

You are correct.

I would never vote for someone who sells out for money.

She endorsed an known lying RINO.

I don’t think Palin would make that great of a President.

I'm surprised you can't see what EVEN the left sees! What do you think 2 yrs of 'trying' to trash her is all about?

Steve Chapman ought buy a clue. What a moron.

"Instead of making the case that she would be an improvement on Obama,
she'd have to explain why she would be preferable to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney..."

"Anyone who trusts her is a fool!...She will sell out to the highest bidder....She does not have any principles."

Do you have Governor Sarah Palin mixed up with Governor Mitt Romney, perhaps? Those statements sound like something one would say about Willard.

I agree all the way about the elections being a popularity contest. If they weren’t, politicians wouldn’t spend a fortune on Botox and hair plugs or as in John Edwards’ case, pallets of hairspray. Obama’s rockstar status caused grown “men” to faint at his rallies during the presidential campaign. Palin is very, very popular and that just scares the heck out of the DemocRATs.

Palin accepted his invitation to be his running mate.

Why would it be a surprise that she endorsed him in Arizona?

If Palin failed to endorse McCain after accepting the VP slot, *that* would have been “a sellout”...as you put it.

Hey, AZ voters have another chance to vote him out.

Yes but is that a choice ?

Who else is running.

They see what I just said, that she is better than any of the other candidates.

She’s the only reason I could stomach voting for Mclame.

She doesn't have to explain a thing - anyone with one eye open knows. Looks like 'little stevie wonder' has both eyes shut.

She had a number of choices.

One of which would have been no choice.

From where I sit she is bought and payed for by Juan McShame.

She will win Iowa, with help from the once and future Governor Terry Branstad

What makes you think Branstad is going to help Palin?

You betcha she endorsed him for senator. She even went around the whole country telling people to vote for the same man for president! Gee, you’re sorta dumb.

You are in the same category with the majority on that one. Otherwise, juan would had experienced a landslide loss.

” If she were serious about a White House bid, she would have spent the past two years making herself plausible as president. All Palin has done is make herself a major media phenomenon, as well as a wealthy woman.”

Translated. She should betray her base and kiss the rings of media hacks so they would take her as seriously as Lisa Murkowski, who they adore.

OK, it's not magic. Many of us think of it as charisma. Others think of it as Divine Intervention. Whatever it is, the Palin train has been picking up passengers.

Ding! Ding! The Grizzly Express has made it's approach!
