The left has thoroughly destroyed her reputation. Conservatives love her, but millions of Americans will not vote for her based on false perceptions. Are you willing to take that chance?

Harvard, Yale VP position should not be the only route to POTUS. WE HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THAT MIND SET. Here, here.... I'm getting really sick of these academics like Obama, who've never done anything other than attend class, yet, we're supposed to believe that they have the life experience and wisdom to reshape this country? NOT. One of the silliest arguments against Palin is that she doesn't have the experience to be POTUS. IMO bucking the system in Alaska for a few years the way she did should be worth two terms of experience as a wishy washy governor who's just trying to get along...... or a Senator that hasn't done anything but give his opinions....

JBC, Good post! Unfortunately, too many people seem to judge Palin based upon liberal falsehoods or the dishonest MSM spin. If she runs, and who really knows, she is as prepared as about all the rest of the GOP candidates. Yes, there are other people with potential in the GOP. But, like her, we really don't know if they will be running. Of course, Romney, Huckster and McCain are all possibilities, albeit I don't see them beating obama unless he continues south in the polls for the next two years. The long shots like Pawlenty, Thune, Ryan, Palin, DeMint etc. have a better than even chance to beat obama in my opinion. They fit much closer to the Tea Party mold and to the general conservative thinking process. Up to this point though, Palin is the force using her star power to get people elected from many locations outside of Alaska. I hope some of those I mentioned in the third paragraph do run. They would give us plenty to post about in the next couple years.
