    She was just interviewed on Fox News and said she's got one of those exploratory thingys and it looks like she might run in 2012. I look forward to the liberal meltdown over this. I'd vote for her before I voted for Palin.

    Well, if this is true, then it is only further evidence that Pain has no intention of entering the race.
    When the delegates emerged from the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got?” Franklin replied, “A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”

    could be that she would end up as the VP candidate....but I would vote for her over anyone else besides Cain at this point

    Yea I saw it.

    I'm not ruling out Palin, I think she would like to. But I also believe she is more interested in seeing Obama as a one termer, and will do what ever it takes to see that come true. And if it means she doesn't run, then she won't.

    I think Bachmann has a better shoot then Palin, I like Palin, but she has been muddied too much by the left. Painted as stupid and worse. Too polerizing, and to win, we must pick up a few moderate Dems disheartened by Obama. And I don't see Palin doing that.

    Freudian slip, or your honest opinion? :)

    Well, it won't be a boring election.

    Visualize people who don't like Obama, voting for him anyway because the other choice is the dingbat or Vampira.

    I don't think Jonathon is running again this year?

    And I wasn't aware Alan Grayson was running.

    Just pragmatically, why would Palin take the pay cut? If I were in her shoes, there is no way in hell I would go and take up being President, with all of the associated headaches, for the amount of money that she can get in four or five speaking engagements.
    Olde-style, states' rights conservative. Ask if this concept confuses you.

    I'll have you answer this question.

    Why is Trump running. He in doing so will take one hell of a pay-cut.

    I don't think he's serious. I think it's one more example of his overall self-aggrandizement.
