We who did not support the GOP candidate for VP are told she is the best thing since sliced (white) bread. We're told that she's going to be a power to be reckoned with in 2012. We're told that she's got the experience, knowledge, and the wherewithall to become the next POTUS.
Well, I've given this a bit, just a bit, of thought. In order to become our next POTUS, Sarah Palin will need the support of her party. My question is, who are the powers that be in the GOP that support Sarah Palin? She's given a number of interviews berating the press, her McCain handlers, comedians, and bloggers. I have yet to read, see or hear of ONE GOP politician come to her support. I have yet to read, see or hear of one GOP politician state that she is the person they want on the GOP ticket in 2012.
So, I ask, how the heck is she going to be the next POTUS?
Here's my take on Palin - she was favored by the behind-the-scenes power brokers in the GOP who were less than enamored with McCain as president and party standard-bearer. If McCain won, great for them, they'd have their candidate in place for the long haul, and if McCain lost, they could pin it on him and still have Palin in the position to lead the party in upcoming years. However - she was woefully under-prepared for campaign (note - I'm not calling her stupid, she's not; she just wasn't ready for prime time - I mean, Katie Couric isn't exactly Mike Wallace, right?). Because of the ferocity of opinion around her, I think those same power-brokers have quietly backed off and will probably put their weight behind someone else (Huckabee? Jindal? someone else?) - but they haven't informed her of this and she hasn't figured it out yet herself.
She has my vote! I like her spunk and determination. After 4 years of BO, Palin will look pretty darn good!
Whatcha got, a crystal ball???
There is NOTHING that can make Sarah look good. She isn't going to grow a brain in the next four years and if Jesse Ventura was president for the next four years the DivaDope wouldn't look any better.
Spunk and determination??? Sounds like a beauty pageant contestant...ooohhhh, just perfect for a president!!!
Where else is she going to get the multi- and I mean, MULTI millions of dollars to run? A third party simply does not have the bucks to get a person elected. Them's the facts. We may not like them but there they are.
