Sarah Palin would make a great president. The media got Obama elected.

Nothing says how much someone feels threatened by another than when they attack that person over and over..........you on the left are VERY afraid of Sarah Palin.She has proven she has guts, honor, and she is very intelligent and gave your guy a run for his money. 4 years is not too long, and we are very patient. I for one will continue to follow every tidbit I can on Sarah.

I'll be so glad when all of this is over. To even think that Sarah Palin could be considered for the presendency if Macain wins has me so scared. The world we live in is going thru such a hard time now, makes me wonder how much more can we take. We all know she has now experience in congress, all you have to do is listen to what she has to say.
