Sarah was popular with a certain segment of the party. My personal opinion is that while she is a very nice person and a decent governor, she would have been in way over her head had McCain croaked and she became President. Had she been able to get the experience of 4 yrs as VP, she might have been ready to run for the top spot. She was/is definitely lacking in the foreign policy arena – but then so is Obama and most of his Chicago thug regime. And as long as the US is determined to empire build and be the worlds policeman, we need someone strong on foreign policy – someone strong the rest of the world can respect. Not someone that bows and apologizes!

I’d have to guess if we run any of the 10 on the stage from last election, “The One” will get 4 more years and I doubt America can survive that in her present form.

Well, some of us are sitting on the sidelines waiting and watching, waiting and watching for Sarah to emerge. OK, it’s a long shot I know, Romney and Huckabee both have their own baggage so to speak, frankly I wish Sarah hadn’t thrown in the towel when she did with the Governor’s job that she was doing so well, but all that being said, Sarah is a scrappy little street fighter, if you didn’t know better one might think she had some political ‘roots’ in Butte. If Sarah doesn’t do it for you, who do you suggest. Right now I think the prospects are bleak at best. I agree with RP, we’re about to get stuck with another term with Snowbama and that makes me ill to think about.

I just listened to Jerri Thompson, wife of Sen. Fred Thompson (by the way Fred is in the process of writing a book) and her observations about the future of the Republican Party were insightful, she’s a smart lady who believes as I do that we better be looking for someone with some ‘Reagan Idealogy’ and stop setteling for any bumblebutt that happens to stumble into the GOP tent with the big “Pick-Me, Pick-Me” sign hanging around their neck, when we don’t know what they really stand for, who they bring with them and what kind of baggage they have.

Sarah’s a known quantity at this point and she’s not too terribly afraid of who she is or what she believes, so for now, my money is on the lady from Alaska until somebody can prove me wrong. She was certainly the best that that ever happened to ol’ John McCain, had that ticket been reversed maybe we’re all be singing Hail to the Chief, President Palin instead of Swing Low Sweet Chariot as we’re all pickin’ watermelons instead of Easter eggs on the White House lawn.

We have to find someone who can run with Palin as VP. And not let the media pick our loser candidate.

I just can’t find anyone out there. But we have 3 years to look and nobody knew who Obama, Clinton or Carter were before they came to the media’s attention.

I would guess that if the R’s run either of those people, Obama will get to enjoy 4 more years. Obama will have to really screw up (ok, he is working on that) to not beat either of those two.

It’s sad, but I believe that Romney is un-electable due to his religion. Huckabee will appeal to the “religious right” but there is far more in the Party them just them (I hope). Huckabee is also just more big government and seems to lack an understanding of the 10th Amendment.

We need to find a freedom loving, fiscally conservative, small(er) government candidate that will undo some of the damage of the Bush years and hopefully will be able to fix whatever (else) Obama breaks, if there is anything left to fix.
