Cain is not part of the establishment Republicans, like Romney, Perry, Boehner, and all the other RINOs. His background is solidly conservative and fiscally responsible. While that is also true for Michele Bachmann, there has never yet been a US House Representative elected President and she also lacks executive experience (one of Obama's chief flaws). Cain has the advantage of not being a DC insider, and strong executive experience.

Could you imagine both Palin and Bachman together in the same race for President? If it isn't embarrassing enough to hear Bachman open her yap and start talking, both her and Palin on the same stage would be cringe-worthy and an insult to educated women all across the United States.

You might be surprised how quickly he is becoming an insider.

That much has always been obvious.

She wants easy money from being a Fox News celebrity. She wants to be Bill O'Reilly, but lacks his intellect. Even Roger Ailes recognizes that.

You do realize that ain't sayin' much?!

Actually, now I'm relieved at not being a "skeered librul" anymore, who makes fun of her just 'cuz we're all supposedly "afraid" she might run (although she definitely would have provided us with some welcome comic relief)!

A person who has never articulated any kind of solution for any of the country's problems because she hasn't a freakin clue about anything. HER SOLUTION, "COMMON SENCE". In laymans talk that's NONSENCE.

How could so many Americans be sucked in by this useless empty windbag? Just for a minute think about how clueless she is. She has no clue about the law. She thinks that your first ammendent rights are between you and your boss! FAIL.

She is great on fiscal responsibility. She left the books of Wassilla a MESS. FAIL.

She talks personal responsibility. She quit her job as Governer of Alaska and just as bad gave the lamest excuse I have ever heard for doing so. FAIL.

She could never allow herself to be interviewed by a real journalist ever again because it would become crystal clear in a minute just how dumb this woman actually is. I perdict she will never allow herself to be questioned by anyone who might be 1% adversarial.

Have you ever wondered why the woman would not come out and say she was not running a long time ago? It's so painfully obvious that she knows full well that her value will now drop and that many fools who did listen to her now won't. That will hit her where it hurts the most! In her pocketbook.

Why are Americans the way they are???? I will just never understand it at all. We have lots of conservative spokespeople here in Canada. We even have a fairly conservative government but I'm telling you the truth. You could not get a quorum of squirrels out in the park to listen to such a dolt.
Canadians expect people who are supporting a view publicly to be intellegent, well spoken and logical. We fully expect them to be able to counter a good grilling by an interviewer and support their position with the facts, the numbers, the history and be able to convince us just why we should waste our valuable time listening to them. You Americans don't seem to require that of public figures.
If you are a windbag blowing hot air no one going to listen to you. You had better move to the USA where millions will put you up on a pedistle.
What a load of hate-filled bilge. I love the fact that you call Sarah Palin stupid and can't even spell correctly.

Please stay in Canada. Thanks.

If Palin isn't running this election then what's her point?

Isn't her appeal mainly the idea that she was a rising political star who many were anticipating would be running for president? If she was going to run then it would need to be now. The political climate could be totally different by 2016.

You have on idea what your talking about. She's still a force against big government and there's still plenty of time for her to be the first woman President.

She merely points out what President Obama can't seem to do. He needs to stop blaming others for his job, that he can't do. His speech today was more blaming, he has no "GAME PLAN". He's not a leader, he's a blamer.
