If she is the GOP candidate we will win many house seats also. Even my huge GOP friends hate her!
Run Sarah Run!

1. With her comes her violent teabagger crowd...
I don't look forward to the escalation in hatred and blatant ignorance that her candidacy would bring.

2. I feel thqta way also
Yes Dems would win biggest against Palin, but our country would pay a harsh price for that victory.

4. The GOP campaign isn't going to be all warm & fuzzy no matter who they run
I love the thought of Palin being the GOP candidate. Her own mouth would be her biggest adversary.

3. I am not sure The GOP would recover form that
Many GOP insiders are saying justs that. That is why I am promoting Michele Bachmann.. Because it would be even worse with her. :sarcasm:

6. Be careful what you wish for
Edited on Thu Jan-13-11 09:14 AM by Xipe Totec
With Palin running on the right, what incentive would Obama have to pursue progressive policies?

Answer: None.

We need a centrist candidate running for the Republican nomination in order to shift the dialog away from the right.

9. No he wouldn't
Utah, Idaho, and Alabama would NEVER vote for him. After those three, there are three or four more who would 95% likely vote for the Republican. Palin or not, the best Obama can do is 47 states. Even then, I'd say 42 or 43 states at best. However, more than 47 is impossible.

8. I hate to say it but this gun thing probably killed off her hopes of getting the nomination.

10. Mrs. P's moose was cooked long before now
TPTB in the GOP know what ballot box poison she is. No matter how unpopular Obama gets or how feckless he is perceived, Sarah Palin is not going to be president.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Mitt Romney. TBTP in the GOP can placate his Mormonism to all but the most hardened sectarian bigots.
