Sarah Palin Vs. President Barack Obama in 2012?
Many Republicans aren’t happy with the direction of the 2008 election and are already looking ahead to the 2010 congressional contest and the 2012 presidential election where they expect to see Sen. John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, as the nominee running against President Barack Obama. Don’t laugh. Here’s how they say she can get there from here, should the polls stick and McCain lose in November. First, Palin spends more time in Washington, getting to know the lay of the land. Maybe she moves to take a leadership role in the Republican Governors Association or the National Governors Association, a perch that helped to launch Bill Clinton. Next, she travels internationally to world energy and military hot spots. In essence, she builds a more complete résumé that will make her an easier sell on the national stage. And, of course, she wins re-election in 2010. And along the way, she proves herself better than this year’s throwaways, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. Says a key Republican promoting the scenario: “As of today, Palin is the top contender. She clearly has the potential to be a winning top-of-the-ticket candidate: solid character, solid values, fire in the belly, etc. But four years is a long time. Neither Romney, Huckabee, or others have the complete package. If Palin spends a bit more time traveling overseas and domestically, broadening her horizons, and wins re-election in Alaska in 2010, she will be the nominee in 2012.”

Sarah Palin
As someone who has studied Sarah Palin for the past year, I have to say the idea of her running for president in 2012 is quite appealing.
As for the imbeciles that claim a woman gets no respect on an international level, better check your history. There have been a number of women who became president/prime minister of their countries and were quite respected. As for Palin, at least she would not run around the world apologizing for America, but would remind people of all the a---- we have saved! Nor would she bow down to a Saudi prince and lie about it. Sarcozy of France said it well when he criticized Obama for, to make a long story short, being an immature idiot.
dosent make any sense
hey running for president is not going to happen shes a woman and women in this world i dont think would make it in that kinda world she will not be respected by any other country
I can see my foot from your rear
Whatever we think here in the good old USA, it really does not apply to the rest of the world. Women in power are not respected by other leaders of the world, let alone idiots like Palin. If for some unforeseeable, inconceivable chance in hell she's nominated to run, the morons that vote for her, will have another out of control, power hungry,bush demon to bow down to as we descend into our final abyss. Republicans need a stable, non-religious based being to lead them back into not being a laughing stock of the country. Palin is not a reliable leader.
