I would like to see Ben Carson run for president.. I wonder how the left would trash him? I am sure they would find a way even if they had to invent many lies against the man.
I would pay a handsome sum of money to watch Hillary Clinton debate Sarah Palin on ANY issue.
Hillary destroyed Obama in the debates of the primaries. Biden destroyed Palin in the election debates.
But wait....MAYBE if the questions were "which rifle is best for shooting big game from a helicopter," Palin would have an edge over Hillary.... but on matters of import, political history and policy? No contest.
Astonishing and shocking that anybody still mentions this airhead youbetcha dingbat. She's a joke. If it is indeed true that GOP voters view her favorably, then the GOP is far, far worse off than anyone can imagine. Absolutely hopeless in fact.
It's no wonder why the GOP is vastly disfavored in this country, and sinking incredibly fast. It is NOT a good sign when the GOP goes from the village idiot to the pathetic Palin from podunk. Astounding level of regression here.

Apples to oranges, bub! 965 is a little more than 2 1/2 years, counting 365 days in a year. Obama was elected senator in 2004. He declared he was running for president on May 2, 2007. He was senator for two years, 4 months at that point, or 840 days. Oh, you're counting only days he was in the senate and voting? Well, let's look at how many days Ms. Sarah was presiding over the Alaska legislature, then. The Alaska legislature was in session 301 calendar days while Sarah was gov. (One 121 calendar-day session and two 90 calendar day sessions.) One can presume there were few weekend session days, and probably many 4 day work weeks as well. Just excluding weekend days, that makes 221 days. That means her governing experience was similar to Obama's, using the same criteria. Of course, Obama was a senator for the rest of his term, as well.

Um, the reason JFK didn't spend more time in office is the fact he got half his head blown off by Lee Harvey Oswald. Palin QUIT because she got a better deal (no matter what the excuse she made was). That's a big difference.
