Hey, I'm from NM too but I am actually from the conservative part down here in the southeast, oil and cattle country. Most of the folks I know like Sarah just fine. Steve Chavez, you guys act like politics is as difficult as organic chemistry used in the petroleum industry or something but you are wrong. Sarah has plenty of intelligence for the job and better than that she has the right core beliefs. She is obviously not the phony our governor is or even our local hoodwinker, cap and trade supporter, from Hobbs, Harry Teague. We have his number now and if the people around here have their way he will not represent the 3rd district after next November.

Most (all?) presidents are "not up to the job" individually. They bring their personal beliefs and world views to the job and set the tone for hired experts to implement. Palin is honest, life-experienced and a CONSERVATIVE. She may not be phi beta kappa but she's demonstrted her ability to lead and get things done sensibly. Who needs another Harvard ivory tower one-worlder theoretician? Or another RINO? Get real.

We sure as hell don't need another "me too" RINO.

It's too bad that McCain tried to hide Palin. Now that's she's found herself and her own beat, she's doing very well although it's too bad she blames McCain's '08 staff instead of McCain. She really ought to know by now that she should blame the captain of the ship; not his flunkies.

What bothers me about Palin that on her website last year until she was picked as VP, she said she didn't have an opinion on the war on terror. That changed abruptly when she was picked. I don't know one person in the last few years that doesn't have an opinion on the war. McCain should have been bothered by her no opinion on the war but wasn't or he didn't even ask her for her opinion on the war.

I like Huckabee the best. He seems moral, bright and sensitive.....a very rare combination for today's politicians.

There is a longshot chance that Palin and Pitchfork Pat may hook up again. They hooked up the last time he ran for prez.

a lot can happen in 3 years. the reason she wasn't taken seriously was because all the networks and newspapers, and snl went into a nonstop onslaught attack mode, and the american public, (50%) does not know how to think for itself. i can't imagine the field day they would have had had she erred like biden had with his insane statements that did not make sense until i read he had had a brain embolism or something in the past. but since the left controls the media it did not pass muster as a news item. they never thought reagan would become president either. what needs to happen is the independents who voted for obama on the premise that it was time for a black man, or he is good looking, or speaks well, or charasmatic will suffer immensely, and hopefully it will knock common sense into their heads. doesn't really matter who gets in as long as the far left/socialist agenda is out of the white house.

DEFEAT OBAMA BY TAKING BACK CONGRESS IN 2010! THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS COMMUNIST?

THE GOP LEADERSHIP MUST CONCENTRATE 24-7 ON CONGRESS! MANY DEMS ARE FIRST TERMERS AND CAN BE DEFEATED! WE ALL KNOW THAT AMERICA WAS READY FOR A "CHANGE" AND ANY DEM WHO RAN, NO MATTER HOW RADICAL THEY WERE, COULD WIN.

WE MUST ALSO NOT DIVIDE INTO A CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND A REPUBLICAN PARTY THEREBY DIVIDING THE VOTE LIKE RALPH NADER DOES WITH THE DEMS. WE MUST STICK TOGETHER AND JOIN ALL FORCES TO DEFEAT THIS COMMUNIST RUN CONGRESS TO DEFEAT THE COMMUNIST PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!

(SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I AM SCREAMING AT MOSTLY THE GOP LEADERSHIP NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oh, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

STOP USING ANY MIND ENERGY ON 2012.

Regarding your comment about Sara getting up to speed on her knowledge base -- that is something that you attain in a lifetime and articulating your knowledge at that level is a skill that is very hard to learn or attain in a few years.

The only thing she has going for her is her level of confidence and the possibility of the chance that something could go very wrong for the Democrats in the last year. She does have the ability to pull people in a charasmatic way thou.

She would probably make a good VP candidate for Romney or Huckabee.

Romney needs her Christain Coalition influence to get elected and Huckabee probably needs Romney to get the VP ticket because he doesn't have the economic success that Romney has -- it all depends on the state of our economy at the time.

Huckabee stands a very good chance if the decline of our morals continue at a more rapid pace than before. This issue has a huge influence in the ultra conservative base. If so, Palin would be the best VP candidate for Huckabee.

If the economy is healthy, it doesn't matter who the Republicans nominate. Obama will come out smelling like roses any way you look at it.

Profanity speaks the level of concern:

for example:
If some doctor from India refuses to sedate your ingrown toe nail because of her religsous beliefs ( or too cheap) you would be supprised how well *&%$##@** works!

Before you know it, your big toe will be numb.

So regarding sitting is this really stinky shit hole with you trying to assist you to reason, profanity does have its place my friend.

I really doubt Palin has a chance. She really didn't make much of a difference for McCain and Biden, who comes across as about as dry as you can get, can have his way with her in a one on one debate let alone Obama -- she really couldn''t find her way out of a paperbag when it comes to foreign issues. By the time the heat of debate arises around the mid 2011, the job situation will turn around and economy will be less of a concern where as Bush's foreign botch's will still be.

The biggest problem --- the situation is Iraq will still be the same and people will be asking the same questions and Palin will have to be accountable to her 2008 rhetoric regarding Iraq alongside with McCain. It will be a rerun of the 2008 election as a defeat for the conservatives --- unless they can manage to succeed in the huge back-stabbing of the American people with their campaign of treason. I could see how FOX could make just enough difference by making a whole lot of B.S about nothing if Obama''s popularity is hovering below 50% which could easily happen since he inherited the biggest economic mess from a republican since Republican Herbert Hoover left Democratic FDR the biggest economic disaster in U.S. history.

It is understood that the majority of idiots that believe FOX soundbites are registered republicans. Especially republicans from the south.

Huckabee, a product of the south, would likely inherit the republican ticket for same reason why Carter stole the southern vote -- Southerners tend to stick to themselves and are not about to elect some wiley dumb b*tch from Alaska. (minus the really dumb ones that just want to look at her pretty face) As far as they know, Alaska is another country anyhow with all those Southern Republicans with a 6th grade geography appitude.

The Republicans would be doing Obama a huge favor to nominate Palin with her poor speaking skills alongside her lack of exerience compared to Obama and with her general stupidity, Obama is a shoe-in unless he really drops the ball between now and then.

Yea uh -- go Palin!
