Oh good grief.... who knows?

This is exactly what I was going to say.

Good grief, I can't escape the Palin speculation anywhere can I? On my street there's a car with "Keep your change, I voted for Palin" and "Palin 2012".

I would not most likely vote for her. She has extremely little experience on a national scale aside from the VP nomination. She did not finish her Alaska gubernatorial position. She appointed a person from Planned Parenthood to become a judge. Her foreign policy experience is quite low. Her military experience comes from being the technical head of Alaska's National Guard (a position she also is not finishing).

Does anyone remember when presidential campaigns lasted 6 months tops?

Those were the days ... sigh.



While I admire many of Palin's personal choices, she is not, in my mind, the ideal candidate for the job. Perhaps she will improve over the next three years.

You don't register with a party when registering to vote in Michigan. However, I am a member of the Libertarian Party.

And no, I wouldn't vote for Palin. Nor any other Republicrat.

Indeed.

I'm not registered to vote. For obvious reasons.

Pretty much. People complain about her lack of experience......well if anything, she has more than our current president. Also her recent resignation seems to stem from being under a huge barrage of ethics investigations and realized that due to the high volume of investigations, she was not an ideal leader for Alaska and Alaska would be better with someone who would not be investigated as much.

The planned parenthood judge ticked me off and I really wonder what happened with that.

Not a perfect person, but I would feel more confident with her than Obama. As CatherineM wisely stated....it really depends.

I agree, it really depends. If she runs, she will need to fight tooth and claw and prove herself, which may be easier since she will not have McCain and company looking over her shoulder (which is the impression I got from the 2008 campaign). The "real" Sarah Palin can then emerge.

I would love to hear a debate between her, Huckabee, Jindal, and Gingrich.

This.
It seems as though both parties don't so much as blend together as just shift in parallel further and further left. What modern "republicans" stand for is nothing like what Jacksonian/Adams republicans (read: real republicans) stand for.

Bobby Jindal 2012!!!!!!!!!!!, or better yet Ron Paul/ Stephen Colbert 2012!!!!!

[princessgianna]

I am not registerd yet. And no I don't think so. I admire Sarah Palin however I don't like how she put that one pro choice guy in Alaska in some seat. I like her style of dress and I think that she can make a postive differance in the world. But I do not think that my conscince would allow me to vote for her. Not to mention that it depends on what is going on.

JMHO

Wait a minute! Aren't we passing judgement here? Maybe she had a really good reason to step down from governorship. Maybe we should pray for her instead of judging her. How can we judge Sarah Palin? I thought Phatmassers didn't judge people. We are beyond that. We respect everyone and let God judge.

As far as who I vote for: I don't vote for a person or party. I vote for what the person believes. I vote for life. If there is one pro life candidate, I vote for them and stop thinking about it. If there are two pro life candidates, I look a little farther. However, that has never happened. Without life, what good is anything else?
