Here's what many of you don't seem to grasp. Sarah Palin strikes a moral cord with many grassroot Americans....who have been looking for a God fearing man or woman to return to the White House....since the departure of Ronald W. Reagan. - Say what you will...mock. ridicule, etc., but millions of Americans just finally felt a strong sense of trust...and confidence in our country...when Reagan was President. And Sarah Palin reminds a lot of folks of those days. There has seemed to be a genuine zeal for rebuilding a broken America.... in Palin....like was in Reagan, that none of the other candidates exude.

I thought you had information that Sarah Palin would not run.
and here I thought you were a savvy political insider.

I'd suggest you stop thinking.

Palin still hasn't announced, I don't 'think?'

Palin is more interested in making big money from speaking engagements and book sales than running for president at this point.

Default Typical of the leftist detractors

This Thread has started off with negative, deflective comments...so, it should be 'lively and compelling'...if history is accurate.

Agree mostly, I think she has good character, morals and some great ideas, humble as well. Is friend of a distant family member. Though am confused about her true beliefs on illegal immigration. When Bill O'reilly pinned her down she admitted she was for illegals registering to stay here but reluctantly, she said she was uncomfortable talking about it.
She campaigned vp for McCain, but also heard she was previously for Ron Paul. It seems when any candidate utters a word against illegal immigration they are squashed and out they go since the elites have orchestrated the illegal immigration for a long time now.

People don't like Palin because she's a blithering idiot. It's as simple as that. I'm sure she's a great person and may give people that feeling, but she's an idiot and shouldn't be in office. She would do great in any other job except this one.

It's similar to how I would probably get along with you if I met you, but I wouldn't come to you and ask you to proofread my English papers.

You're pretty free wheeling with the 'idiot' word, aren't you bud. I guess you are happy with the 'genius' we now have in office.

Oh, I wouldn't need to proofread your stuff, would I

Palin does strike a harmonious chord with many people. She has charisma out the wazoo. She's spunky. She's a competitor. I don't really agree with the ronnie reagan comparison. I'm a left of center person, and never felt the trust of her, in fact, it was just the opposite. I felt like she was taking advantage of her popularity, and can't blame her.

I think she might run, because I think Sarah loves the game of competition when it comes t running for office. I don't think she likes the work and the massive headache that comes with the position, though. I also am 99.9999999999% positive that Sarah is not good Presidential material. But if she runs she will surely take votes from the nutty one, Bachmann.
