She has not ruined her political career by quitting the governorship, in fact, she did the opposite and improved her chances by being more high profile as a commentator and entertainer.

No, I do not like Palin. I can't stand her. With regard to policy and the issues, she is a fool but she is a genius with regard to promoting herself. Unlike 90% of the idiots on this forum, I tell it like it is and I don't play the "I defend my party, attack yours" mentality. I may not like Palin but I'm not going to be a fool and pretend she is not clever in some areas.
She is an amazing media w......er I meant celebrity. I don't think anyone thinks differently on that. But she can't work a "job" such as a governship and to throw the entire country out there for her to run....get serious. She would be an idiot to give up the money she's making for a thankless job like the presidency anyway.

Sarah is far more qualified than the current Prez. She....like Ronald Reagan did....will restore integrity, principled dignity and confidence in America....and it's people. -

GOD SPEED, Sarah

Ms Bachman is going to desimate Sarah. Sarah won't even come close to a nod. But then she doesn't want to. She is happy keeping tea party crazies wishing and hoping she will run. Ms. Bachman is just as crazy, but at least has a brain and a job.

She told ABC she was "looking at the lay of the land".

A bowl of soggy noodles could be Skippy the way he's going. At least the noodles wouldn't be spending anymore money.

Marco rubio as v.p. - most definitely.
keep dreaming.
