In the scheme of things...who really cares. You can play tit for tat opinion video's all day. What really matters is her record in Alaska. Before she got thrown into the lion's den last year, she had an extraordinary approval rating in her home state. OMG If the press had done their homework and really scrutinized the current administration, we might not be in the mess were in now.The poor woman has received vicious attacks on her family. Why is it taboo to go after the Clinton's daughters and Obama's children yet make Ms. Palin open season.
Remember when someone made a joke about Chelsea Clinton's looks when they were in the WH. The mainstream media had a fit and editorialized that public people's families were "off limits" ...What happened to those standards?

Governors: Oline Walker, Utah; Linda Lingle, Hawaii, M. Jodi Rell, Connecticut

Members of the House: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Florida; Deborah Pryce, Ohio; Barbara Cubin, Wyoming; Sue Myrick North Carolina; Jo Ann Emerson, Missouri; Kay Granger, Texas; Mary Bono, California; Heather Wilson , New Mexico; Judith Borg Biggert , Illinois; Shelley Moore Capito, West Virginia; Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee; Ginny Brown-Waite, Florida; Candice Miller, Michigan; Marilyn Musgrave, Colorado; Thelma Drake, Virginia; Virginia Foxx, North Carolina; Cathy McMorris Rodgers, West Virginia; Jean Schmidt, Ohio

Cabinet: Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State; Elaine Chao, Secretary of Labor; Margaret Spellings, Secretary of Education; Mary Peters, Secretary of Transportation; Susan Schwab, US Special Trade Representative

I don't think Republications really want a women president just yet. Having Sara run with McCain was obviously made to get voters unhappy with Hiliary not getting the Presidential nomination on the Republican side.

IMHO I have absolutely no problem voting and supporting Palin. She speaks the truth. The one name on your list I would also vote for is Codoleezza Rice.
I wonder how long it would take for the left wingers to start calling her names ?

A little video of Palin on why she left office..

I guess Sarah keeps people coming back?

I find it interesting that even Fox News has started to turn on Sarah Palin. Liz Trotta called her inarticulate and undereducated and said that for once liberal criticism was "well-deserved."

She went on to say that Palin is somebody who, right from the get-go, has been a flashy person who gets into a lot of trouble and really has no credentials for any job.

Palin told CNN this morning that she resigned because of the tremendous pressure, time and financial burden of a litany of ethics complaints in the past several months. In my opinion, that makes her a quitter. If she can't take the pressure of public life, she certainly is not presidential material.

All I said was that Sarah keeps people coming back...Perfect example is your 5-6 posts on this thread......Touchy today, huh?

It's an interesting question but IMHO, not relevant, because the media will make sure that Mrs. Palin will never be elected.

Perhaps a better question would be, will Joe Biden be a great or, good President if he succeeds President Obama?

Ms. Palin has the time to prepare for whatever she wants to do.

As far as Mr. Biden is concerned, I will be stunned if he is still VP come July 2012 (time frame for the party conventions), as it seems that Ms. Clinton may roll onto the ticket at that time.

This could get interesting, depending on how Ms. Palin develops herself in the meantime.

I'm with you, SteveZ. I'll be very surprised if Biden is still the VP, in 2012. Hillary will take over. Then Obama better get a food taster.

To answer the original quesstion, no. And why are we talking about Gov. Palin when Condi Rice is unemployed? She would make a great President.

Agree with the Condi Rice part of your post. She is another female that the media elite didn't care for. Another one that didn't fit their profile.

Palin had a budget surplus in Alaska, Obama has quadrupled the deficit in just five months. Unemployment has gone from e little over 6% to 10% under his leadership. This after assuring the American people that if the stimulus package was passes, unemployment would remain at less than 8%. We have twenty some czars supervising cabinet operation and all parts of the economy without congressional oversight or Senate consent to their appointment. We have gone to a government ownership or control of the banking industry, the automobile industry, the energy business and soon, in all probability, the health care industry. The last time I looked up the terms this was socialism and bordering on naziism. Yes, I said the N word - I have always avoided it in the past as extremist, but our National, no longer Federal Government is in the hands of extremists, as certainly as any government in history going to authoritarian government practices and national control of the economy. The United States is adopting a Nationalist - Socialist form of government whether we choose to admit it or not.

In another thread, I posted the observation and amazement of people in the Soviet Union at the speed at which the 'sheeple' of the United States were running over the cliff to a marxist economy despite its failures in other economies around the world. Perhaps we should have listened more carefully to the futurists that forecast the breakup of the United States in the year 2010.

I am talking about the poll numbers, McCain's numbers. When he announced Palin as his running mate, Obama gained on, and eventually passed him drastically. Those are the numbers I was referring to.

She certainly has the qualifications and experience, but didn't seem interested prior to the last election. Maybe now that any racial barriers have been broken she'd reconsider - Although there is some baggage from her time as Sec Of State that would be hard to overcome.

It made it a tighter race but McCain was the wrong man for the job. Alot of people pinched their collective noses and voted for him because of the alternative.

Yes, I will agree, for about three days, then she opened her mouth, and that went away.
