We have 5th graders that know more then Palin

We have 5th graders that know more then Palin. You can dress up anything to make it look good, but then she opened her mouth, and then it's all down hill from there. I think "Kelly Bundy" had more brains then Palin. What is she going to do for this country anyways, besides pump more of our money to her oil buddies and put the American people deeper in debit? I think Bush, and his great idea's arlready did enough damage to this country and the middle class. Palin couldn't even finish her job, her state is in bad shape, and what does she do when they needed her most, quit! How are we to know if the job as president doesn't get to tough that she wouldn't walk away from that too? You have to be a laborer, before you can be the boss. And if you can't handle the lower end job, then in no way can you handle running the country.

Sarah Palin: Obama's nemesis

Only Sarah Palin can take Obama down in 4 years. 2016 will be too late. Sarah's momemtum is now. Hillary waited too long to run. She could have been the Democratic Party nominee in 2004, but she thought she had the presidency in the bag in 2008. Sarah has the youth(younger than Obama), the charisma, the looks, the attractiveness and more important: the overwhelming republican base support, the evangelical and pro life support plus Reagan democrats support. Enough to win the nomination. She only needs to win the nomination. This incredible historical event alone would bring all the pieces in place: Hispanics, Whites, Catholics, Evangelicals, etc, etc. Obama would only keep the black vote. But Sarah would steal 2 or 3 percent of that block.

Sarah Palin might have a Reagan landlide if she picks a Hispanic as running mate!

2012 is the year! We will have a female president! Forget about Condi Rice or kay Bailey Hutchingson, these women have ZERO charisma and they are getting old by the minute.

Sarah is the ONE

Sarah has over 60% of Republicans and conservatives support. That's more than enough to get the GOP nomination. Her closest competitor is Mitt Romney with only 30%. No woman in US political history has had this enthusuastic support. Hillary Clinton only had 53% of her party's support during her entire political career. Sarah Palin is young, attractive, articulate, with executive, command and business experience. She has a great love for her country. She would be the first woman and firt Generation X president. The best attributes of Sarah are her youth, the fact that she has achieved success by herself, not because a famous or powerful male relative, her appeal to ordinary Americans who don't go to famous schools or get PhDs from Harvard, but who work hard to make a change for their families and communities.

Sarah Palin is with no doubts the Female Reagan!

America will be proud of having this young woman as president. A Christian who is not ashamed to call Jesus her Lord.

Hillary Clinton had her chance, but even women rejected her for a half Kenyan male candidate. Hillary never had the overwhelming support and enthusiastic appeal Sarah has. Sarah does not has baggage, scandals, political drama or scary associations. She is a 100% American woman without an ounce of foreign blood in her veins.

In 2012, this lady will make the biggest news in US history when she becomes the first female presidential nominee and the first female elected president of the United States of America!

Hey Dude!

What country youre from Frank Micciche? You sickened me! I see you dont respect women. And you dont talk for young people and your opinion is your opion and no one else. Look,Americans are not stupid. Tina Feyke and Sarah Palin common' young people could tell the difference ok. Sarah Palin is a star and no matter how toxic the poison youre spewing around its not going to work! People who hates Sarah loves this article you wrote and thanks to you pal. Why dont you start writing something about how the incoming administration will handle the economy or something. Stop this crappp. Enough already, Election is so over more than two weeks ago. Hey anybody can run for President in this country as long as your 35 yrs and U.S citizen. Speaking of experience hmmm Sarah has the executive experience ok you know that. Sarah is going to run for President in 2012 because the americans dictates. Sarah of Alaska is going to be the First Female President of the United States of America! 2012 here it comes.

Palin for president article

This article was so sexist, it was nauseating. The writer obviously has a bias against women being out of the home and away from her kids. He says nothing about Obama being less of a father because he will have to spend many days and months being away from his kids trying to solve the problems he faces. He will not be working a simple 8 hour day and then go home to the wife and kids each day. But I guess that is okay since he is a man and the wife is home taking care of the kids. Kids need a father too.

Palin's Leadership

In the election she kowtowed to the McCain campaign advisers. Is this the way a maverick with strong leadership skills acts? Or does she talk directly to the boss, as most good leaders would, and get the advisors back in line. If she can't handle some temporary advisors, how can she lead and work with other world leaders or the legislative and judicial branches? Think about it. Nothing but sound bites and conservative canned responses, and when those weren't fed to her, and she was on her own, cutesy cliches and stalling. Strong leadership skills are not evident in Gov. Palin. When given the chance to demonstrate them during the campaign, she did not. Not ready now, nor in 4 more years. Maybe never.

By the way, McCain has the same problem. Time for him to finish his term and come home.

2012 GOP Nominee?

Although I like Palin there is another GOP Governor I like more. He is the governor of Louisiana. He has a record as a reformer in a state where reform is notorious for being impossible. Governor Jindal also gives the GOP help by being a minority candidate. But what makes him the best candidate is he has new conservative solutions to today's issues.

If Palin is the leader, the Republicans have no hope at all.

You will see at least a dozen others eclipse Sarah in the run for 2012. Jindal and Huckabee for sure and a bunch you haven't heard of yet.

Palin in 20 12 or ever?

Maybe in her lifetime, but not 2012 or anytime soon. Alaska has less than 700,000 people, and the major employer is the federal government. Less than 270,000 people voted in this last election. She was elected mayor in a very small town with less than 2000 people voting and was not responsible for schools or a police department which are normally the biggest part of a municipal government. These services were provided by the county. She is now a governor in a state that doesn't worry about taxes because of large royalties from oil and natural gas resources. So much for experience. Education, who knows. A journalist? Doubtful. Not ready now, no way, no how. In 4 years? Very doubtful.
