First, I’m with you on Palin not being “the One.” That’s because we Republicans don’t have a “One.” We have candidates, and if they lose we get other candidates.

Second, I do think that Sarah Palin probably isn’t presidential material, but that’s because I think she’s better suited to the governorship of Alaska, not because she did anything to drag down the McCain campaign. Her speech at the RNC was a fine one, and she did a decent job in the VP debate (especially when you consider that she’d had absolutely no experience with national politics until nine weeks ago).

Ultimately, she’s too nice and too normal to be in national politics. That’s why I don’t like all these hit pieces that are coming out now. They’re launched by bitter people who can’t handle their own failure in this campaign. You might be right about hitting the “reset” button on the McCain campaign, but that doesn’t mean that Sarah Palin herself bears any personal responsibility for the campaign’s failure. She did what was asked of her, she did it reasonably well, and now we should move on.

Third, we don’t have a “young hot shot conservative from California.” The only major Republican politician in that state is Arnold, who is neither young nor conservative. It’s no use wishing for what we ain’t got.

to write off Palin for 2012. The Sarah Palin of 2008 will not be the Sarah Palin of 2012. Give her four more years of executive experience and preparation and then let’s see what kind of candidate she will be.
I fully supported Palin this time around, and unless she gets a case of liberal leprosy, I fully expect to support her in four years.

Plain speak is my speak. If she chooses to run, she’ll have my backing.

I just wanted to invite anybody who holds conservative to moderate political values to check out AmericaC2C.Org. We are a free online group of people from across the U.S., who are working together toward things like Honesty in Journalism, promoting traditional American and Constitutional values, and ensuring a continued conservative/moderate voice in America.

We could use additional like-minded people to work alongside of us. Thank you very much.

The Republican candidate in 2012 will have to a likeable, charming, quick-witted debater.

Even as the Silver-tongued Obama will fall short of the unrealistically high hopes of 65 million voters, Obama can still work a crowd into a frenzy. The Republicans in ’96 thought a trustworthy old warhorse would be the right counterattack to Slick Willie, and Willie beat ‘em.

In 2012 the Republican best positioned to go toe-to-toe with the preacher-of-hope-cum-agent-of-change is the man from Hope: Mike Huckabee.

No, I don’t think Huck is a “Leave-Us-Alone” conservative as I am, but he’s socially conservative, doesn’t seem cranky, plays to the middle-class, and could win back parts of the South and Lower Midwest.

We know Obamabots work to dispirit Republicans to aid his campaign.

Job one of the Obamabots is to dispirit and discredit Sara Palin. They can’t do that with obvious posts, but by gentle chipping away at credibility.

I don’t buy it!

To say your arguments are less than compelling would be an understatement.

Anyone who uses “damaged goods” to refer to a human being loses credibility in my book.

Sarah Palin is more than a charming woman. Her voice resonated with the every man (or woman). She has governed, she knows how to inspire and if she chooses to run in 2012, there will be many who thought she should have been at the top of the ticket in 2008.

Which conservative/Republican women do you feel are more than just charming and are capable of doing more than just helping the party in other ways?

…to hear that Palin wasn’t “The One” because her hair isn’t as good as Romney’s.

One issue which will resurface–and which we own–is energy exploration and development. Just this morning, in a clear sign that the Democrats still don’t get it, John Podesta announced that BHO closely reviewing the President’s executive order lifting the ban on offshore drilling. Fine with me; let them bury themselves.

Governor Palin’s expertise in energy was never fully exploited, partly because the price of crude fell so rapidly during Sept-Oct. But as worldwide commodity prices begin to surge again in about a year, the price of gas will be front and center, and we will be able to ask why President Obama re-imposed the ban. Doesn’t want to use our own oil instead of importing it from the Mideast? I mean…after all….didn’t he say he wanted to end our foreign oil addiction?

There will be no better point person to lead this debate than Gov. Palin. And beyond the energy issue, there will be no better person to re-engage the Reagan Democrats, who by then will realize that they helped put a complete fraud into office.

For one, 2008 is not equal to 2012.

Palin, Jindal, Cantor, Sanford, etc. still have four (4) years to prove their worth. And they have their own chances.

Please don’t limit their possibilities. Technically, Palin has an edge over Jindal and the rest of young gunners. At least, she has already been introduced at the national stage. We still do not know what dangerous and humiliating lies that the MSM and the democrats will throw against the other unvetted young guns, like Jindal and Cantor. But they are equally promising.

In short, let us support all of them, allow them to grow… not limit their opportunities or dishearten them to pursue higher positions. Obama’s recent win shows that it’s not really bad for our young republican leaders to be “ambitious”! It’s the only way to defeat Obama.

By 2012, one of our young bloods will be “The One”. And I will be glad to support “The One”.

If you are rooting forthe old boys, please think again. Note that most of them like Romney and Huckabee are currently “unelected” by the people. Technically, they don’t have any constituents at present.

In 2012, the incumbent will be the Great Obama, the original The One. Contenders must worthy of the Great Obama.

I don’t think that the recylced candidates of 2008 primaries can be worthy of Great Obama’s time anymore. 2012 will already be a different ball game.

WE NEED NEW FACES WHO ARE WORTHY OF THE CHALLENGE AGAINST THE GREAT FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!
