The Mighty Sarah Palin?
WHERE ARE YOU BONE-HEAD PALIN FANS....!!
Please share with us much of an exploited fool you know you are.
Bus Tour? Constitution on the side? Exploitation!!
The sad thing is.....you idiots are allowed to vote. YOU ARE DIMWITS. And Sarah Palin is THE LEAST dedicated public servant we've ever witnessed.
Palin was NEVER running for President. You got used.

Much speculation and ever greater hope surrounded Christie the past couple of months about whether Christie would seek the Republican presidential bid for 2012. http://bit.ly/nyFz6q

WHAT CHRISTIE WAS WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW, BEYOND THE COMMON-SENSE WISDOM OF NOT PULLING A SARAH PALIN OR BARACK OBAMA STILL-WET-BEHIND-THE-FEDERAL-EARS STUNT AND FOCUSING INSTEAD ON FULFILLING THE COMMITMENT VOTERS MADE TO HIM AS GOVERNOR OF NJ, IS...
that Romney has the 2012 party machine nomination lock at this time, and is calling in his IOU received in 2008.
And only Paul could or will stand in Romney's way. The others, Bachmann, Perry, Cain will fall by the wayside. Bachmann in particular is already toast.
Media types are really pounding the 'dissatisfaction' angle to the number of republican candidates. Beats staring at an empty word-processing window wondering what they could write about today in a unique and innovative fashion, to keep the paycheck coming in.
It's not like they're makers of point-and-shoot digital cameras going uh-oh, Apple's new I-phone has an enhanced camera, we got to up our game somehow to stay in business.
And if I was a dem shill like Susan Milligan, or just your typical by-lineless libprog, sure, I'd also be projecting my dissatisfaction with having President Obama as my only choice in 2012 -- instead of the heady days of 2008 when I had Candidate Senator Obama, and all the things I could read into Candidate Senator Obama as a would-be president was limited only by my Axelrod-, Plouffe-, and Dunn-prodded imagination.

Christie, unlike Obama, is smart enough to realize that he needs more governing experience before taking on the job of the most powerful office in the world.
He is also honest enough, unlike Obama, to know that his state needs him to stay in office until at least the end of his term - something that was an inherent promise when he got himself elected as Governor.
"Christie, with his refreshing directness, likely would have attracted a part of the GOP electorate."
PART of it???? More than likely the vast majority of it, including a substantial segment of the Democrats.
Too bad Obama did not realize that his experience as a community organizer in the corrupt environs of Chicago and Illinois made him painfully, and very obviously, unfit for any job at any level above that.
