...conservatives couldn't be further detached from reality, here come the Palin 2012 supporters. It's as if the country hadn't tried conservative policies and they hadn't failed miserably.

As for the Supreme Court pick, she'll be a solid judge. However, it's a huge winner politically. It puts the Republicans in a position where opposing Sotomayor ensures that they'll lose even more of the Latino voting block in this country. If this gets really ugly, perhaps the Dems nab two or three of the S. Florida districts in 2010 in the House and perhaps Arizona and Texas for 2012 in the Presidential. It probably pushes Iowa and N. Mexico even further into the Dem column as well.

Great article, Brad! You knocked it out of the park, just like Jason Bay has been doing for the Red Sox! The Republicans will fight and lose this battle - it's a shame because our system thrives with two vibrant parties and the GOP is being held hostage by the far right wing. Gone are the liberal or moderate Republicans which will make it impossible for them to cobble together a working majority. But, Sonia is a terrific pick, she is well qualified, and Obama has played this beautifully thus far.

Sarah was the true breath of fresh air the last election. Obama is nothing more that a shill of the banks that run this country as is our current congress which makes promises it cannot pay for without inflating the money supply. As Alan Greenspan points out in his book the problem with America is not just with the president but with unfunded spending for congressional promises made to constituents in an effort to get reelected. Unfortunately most Americans fail to understand that if they want a return to sound money and small conservative government policies they need to vote the career criminals masquerading as congressmen out and replace them people will promise to only honor their oath to uphold and defend the constitution which without printing more money to cover the cost of going over budget is the only thing they really can afford to do and constitutionally the only thing they should be doing.

Dear Fellow American

Governor Sarah Palin must beat Barack Obama in 2012 because of her superior conservative right wing philosophy in that she is pro God and Christianity, pro life, pro marriage; pro guns-second amendment, pro low taxes, pro low government spending; pro small government, pro unintrusive government, pro traditional and Judeo Christian values; pro Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, pro Christians schools and private education , pro private and free enterprise; pro military spending, anti arms agreements with Russia, pro creation; pro nuclear, pro conservative supreme court judges, pro American sovereignty; pro capitalism, anti communist, anti socialist; conservative on immigration, and pro constitution. Barack Obama are of the inferior liberal and left wing ideology in that he is against every thing that Governor Sarah Palin is for and he is for every thing that Governor Sarah Palin is against. From 01/20/13 to 01/20/21 Governor Sarah Palin will be the best President that the United States will ever have

Thank You,

John Warren
