"Only Sarah can bury it."

Only Sarah, only Sarah, only Sarah - sounds more like a worship service than an intellectual argument. Just saying.

I don't want nor need a savior. I've got one of those already. But, it sure would be nice to have a Republican nominee who has negative approvals below 60% - you know, for winning and all that.

I can’t wait to see who the Republican party has already picked for us. I’m sure it will be super awesome! If only Bob Dole were younger.

hey vote for the socialist of your choice no one is stopping you. right now your options are Mitt, Daniels thune TPaw or Newt. Or cast your vote for someone that can't win like Demint. and when you do know you are voting for Obama

Winning with another candidate who can't see where we are or where we need to go would be worse than useless. I'm not interested in worshiping anyone born in the last couple of millennia. I suspect very few Palin partisans are. What you fail utterly to understand is that the game here isn't winning elections. It's reclaiming our country. Winning elections is a means to that end. We are better off without any victory which doesn't serve that end.

Eisenhower won twice and left office with an economy in shambles and confiscatory marginal tax rates. Nixon won twice. He instituted wage and price controls, began affirmative action and invented detente. GWB won twice. He accelerated our progress toward fiscal Armageddon and set the stage for the lunacy of Obama.

Fuggedabout partisan victories. They count for nothing. We need a conservative party that can win philosophical victories. Remaking the Republican Party to fit that bill is job one. I'm open to any candidate who understands this and can get the job done. So far, there's only one realistic prospect. Candidates who have nothing to offer but the prospect of a merely partisan victory need not apply.
