With polls finding that 57% of Americans believe that Brewer’s law is “about right,” and 17% say that it “doesn’t go far enough.” Brewer has a lot of things going for her and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Could Jan Brewer be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States in Jan 2013?
I would seriously consider voting for her if she ran.
The only house that Brewer needs to be in is the big house. Put her in an orange jump suit in a prison filled with hispanics. She knew her law was unconstitutional even as she signed it. She only did it to boost her ratings.
No. Immigration's just another wedge issue the republicans use to rally their forces and further divide the nation. You won't hear a word about it in 2011, as it's not an election year.
If there was a republican administration you wouldn't hear a peep from her about illegal immigration. The republicans controlled the WH and both chambers for 6 years, and how did they address the immigration issue?
republicans dividing the nation?? guess again, the republicans are siding with the majority, and it is the democrats that are dividing the nation. immigration reform was tried, but the people put enough pressure on congress to stop the legislation before it got out of committee.

Palin is an example of that, Brewer is not, however I won't discount the motive of opportunistic grandstanding. This issue was dead on her desk for many years until the police and the people turned up the volume coinciding with an election cycle.
I cannot see how Az fiscal health can be fairly measured in light of national financial crisis unless she's grossly mismanaged comparatively to other states. I'll need more evidence than just your word.

Brewer - not so much gross mismanagement, as she has not done anything of note while she has been in office to fix a terrible fiscal situation. No job creation, no brave initiatives, other than a recent sales tax increase she was pushing. She has been ignoring the pressing issues all to ride this 1070 wave, counting on people in Maine and Montana to look at her now as presidential material.
arizonas fiscal problems are a result of the previous governor, and brewer has been trying to solve them with a bunch of rinos in the legislature who were willing to do jugheads bidding.
as for brewer for president, not sure if i would vote for her. even though she has plenty of government experience, i think she is too soft on dealing with fiscal issues at this time. perhaps in 2016 maybe??
...I like my politicians with more bite(Brewer) than bark(Palin) We have a new GOP superstar in Jan Brewer, and this one actually have a brain(unlike palin).
I agree! Jan Brewer has proven herself to be a very effective Governor of Arizona thanks to her having the guts to finally do something about the tons of illegal immigrants ... as well as correct many things that the past Governor (Napolitano) forced through that have turned out to be very costly, and/or ineffective.
And I can't stand Palin either. She is nothing but a political blowhard who speaks like a conservative, but her actions & lifestyle are actually quite the opposite. Also, Jan Brewer has a much more pleasant voice in comparison to Palin who sounds like nails screeching on a chalk board!
New Repub candidate proposal: Run a Palin/ Celtic FC ticket. That would be a certain winner.
