you have a point... dont know if a woman is capable of becoming less crazy... but she can at least become more informed.

There would be a lot of factors to go into voting for her or Obama... including how he does the next 4 years.

I am definatly NOT excited about voting for Palin and if it was today.. I'd vote for Obama.

Unless she wants to give her state of the union while naked.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!

She'll be a couple weeks shy of 50 and onto her 8th child by the time she'd give her first state of the union. Be careful what you wish.

:D

they weren't hiding from media?

I do not discriminate... there is nothing wrong with a woman a few weeks shy of 50. :{>:

AND SCOTT- Remember I've spent a lot of drunk time with you and have seen you hit on plenty of women over 50. :)


according to you and philski.. she wont have more babies just her kids will.... she'll have 14 grandchildren by then though..

She probably doesnt want to be "irresponsible" and have more children at her age - LIke sCuds says of course.

I generally stay out of political discussions but Sarah Palin is done, stick a fork in her. Even if she were to attempt a run she would never, ever recieve the nomination. Well I say that after being totally shocked and dismayed at what a mess the republicans made out of this campaign. There are too many americans that find her appalling, ridiculous and uneducated. The ultra conservatives cannot elect a President, and thankfully that is the only faction that find her appealing.

But of course she will never figure that out and try and run, but will never get the nod.
As for competition well Bobby Jindal is very well liked in the Republican party. He was extremely high on the list for VP and word is he got it from McCain but turned it down...smart move by Jindal.

He's got the background, Brown and Oxford university education, Asst. Sec. of DHH, US congressman, and now Governor in state that has massive problems and looks like he is capable of turning it around. While he is absolutely a party man he also very much appeals to independents and moderate Dems. There is alot of talk that he will make a run in 2012, and the republican party is courting him for a run. He will easily be re-elected as Governor and it will all depend on if he wishes to complete his term. He is a young man, very good orator that establishes trust, very nice family, even delivered his own baby when his wife went into sudden and quick labor...good story for those that like the heartwarming stories. So for those disheartened republicans keep on eye on our Governor.

^^^^^^^^^good post!

Check him out, you'd like him.

But for the record I should disclose that I am a moderate independent with Dem leanings. I cling to my independent stature as those that are registered Dems or Repubs cling to their party. And yes I voted for Obama, couldn't stomach the thought of Palin for 4 years. But I also voted for Bobby Jindal.

He'll be like the Vp in "DAVE"...just holdin down the chair...and bringing trinkets back from his travels

Jindal is on the radar for sure! I don't really understand the advantage of being independent...doesn't it preclude you voting in certain instances like primaries?
I'm going to leave the Obama topic alone for a while.

How can you vote for someone who(at almost 44 years old) was shocked she had a problem with her 5th pregnancy? She has charisma, and is a great public speaker. Like I have said all along, that makes her qualified to sell stuff(like real estate.) She can definitely take a punch, and get right back up. Problem is she is a liar, and she is way too extreme to lead anything other than a very Conservative state. She could get better on foreign affairs etc., but her core beliefs limit her. This lady is hilarious, and I am gunna especially miss hearing the odd way she emphasizes the least important word in a phrase(like the word "to.")

He's too conservative for me on some topics but I like his pedigree and use and allocations of resources.

Being an independent allows me to be a moderate. I am neither conservative or liberal, nor do I always vote for the independent candidate.
I think some of the problems in both Dem and Repub parties is the extreme philosphies, middle america is getting lost.
For instance I can wholeheartedly believe in my right to bear arms, and I have closet full of guns and pistols, I LEGALLY carry a concealed weapon yet I can also believe in gun reform. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and buy an assualt weapon on the spot. If you want AR's and other assualt weaponery as a collector than get a license, get checked out and then buy the AR's. However that is not acceptable by most of the people I know that are for the right to bear arms. I am giving away my right to bear arms by even allowing for the thought of gun reform.

As for precluding me from voting in primaries, generally I wouldn't anyway, but it is strange down here in primaries, I'm not from here. But it could preclude me from voting for the candidate I like and force me to vote for the parties candidate. Actually one of the primaries here was very strange only non-party registered were allowed to vote, I have to look into that further as I didn't know that was the law.
