I think a lot of you are forgetting that Newt may run! She wouldn't stand a chance up against him in her own party!

If Sara runs she will split the vote and a Dem will end up back in there. Scroll back a few years to how the Clinton's Won-Bob Doyle should have been President-would have been much more Reaganish. (How is that for descriptive English/Shakespearen Lingo, Sara???) In the time she was governor, I wrote her several letters as well as letters to Lisa Murkowski, Burt Stedman, and Dems and all of them gave me responses-but not Sara. I never had one single response. How is that for descriptive English/Shakespearen Lingo, Sara??? Sara claimed she was too busy fighting Democrats and saving the world to respond to the people who voted her in. Does the public know how she misused her power against the police man and his supervisor in the Palmer Police Dept.? There is her side of it and there is quite another story!!! And what about actually doing something to combat this Methamphetamine problem and heroin problem in the Valley??? Fix it and student graduation exit test scores will go up instead of dumbing down everyone and saying we are Alaskan so we don't need out kids to be smart enough to pass it!

Sara's father is a former WHS teacher who gave a graduation speech this spring. WHS is Sara's Alma-Mater. Her ideas echo his-and it is highly probably that the crib notes are from her own dad. He said in his speech that he has taught students many things (science or whatever) then went on to discuss how he has taught other people how to skin a moose and this year he plans to teach them how to "Skin a Democrat". Being that I am a Republican, I think it is sort of funny, however, I don't want that woman running the country for her daddy and I could go on a lot more...And I don't want her involved in the vote because she will do it knowing she won't win and then write a second book for personal gain. I want someone who is willing to tough it out through the naysayers and doesn't break laws but makes a difference. I attended the U of I when she was there and it was rumored that someday she was going to be governor-she wasn't there the entire time. When you transfer you are often given the credits and a clean slate...I would like to see her transcripts from every school because I don't think she is as book smart or wise as she is street smart. Go Huckabee! I really hope that our country doesn't rely on this woman and her dad.

using a teleprompter to keep on track during a thirty minutes plus speech verses using notes to remember what you support and stand for while answering questions... i have no problem with obamas use of a teleprompter because i dont expect him to spend hours memorizing a speech, he has more important things to do. palin on the other hand (pun intended) shouldnt need to be reminded what her convictions or the right answers are during a Q&A session

Sarah is not smart enough to run this country. Most folks in her party know this but can't say it out loud. If we want to lose the White house again just run her for president. Even Bush 2 was smarter than her and thats not saying much!

Palin's store of knowledge is about 140 characters in total. Sorry, but she's definitely NOT presidential material. I think she may be able to hold the title of "Twitter Mom of the Year."

Sarah Palin is one of the biggest dingbats in this country. God help us if she would get elected. Even if she did, she would quit in the middle of her term!

Doesn't Obama use a teleprompter for all of his speeches?? What's the difference? A president that can't make a speech without teleprompter notes verses a possible contender that uses hand notes when the teleprompter is not an option!

I can't believe anyone thinks Sarah Palin is qualified to hold any form of Public Office. The comments the actress who provides the voice for Family Guy was right on the money regarding Sarah Palin.

Please come on down to Chicago. I think that you share some of the same characteristics as our current Mayor, just that your name ain't Daley. With your popularity amongst the unwashed trash, and the historically low and apathetic voter turnouts here, you can slip right on in and be a real leader and show your administrative chops. I mean Alaska with 600,000 citizen and Chicago with 3 million... I'm sure that there are at least 50,000 teabaggers & other assorted idiots to vote for you and sweep you into office... But you have to promise not to QUIT until the Feds catch up to you; and judging by the Daley run, that could be some time. Think of the legacy that you could leave for your children and grandchildren. Just think, Trig for Mayor of Chicago in 2040! btw, this is satire.
