it's up to each party to decide whether they let someone like me who registered "decline to state" to vote for candidates in their primary.

this year i could have voted democratic, libertarian, peace and freedom (didn't make that up), and green but not republican in the primary.

just one example of the extraordinary stupidity of california's republican leadership. they actually used the primary to train independents to vote democratic.

If she were the Republican Nominee I would vote for her

I thought it was as you stated...thanks for clarifying. Good logic there

Seems to me that Sarah Palin has literally let her hair down since the election. Anyone else notice that she's looking less conservative?

As for Bobby Jindal, are the Republicans ready to nominate a person of "color"?

[hi_im_god]

jindal might be too conventional a choice.

the palin nomination has opened eyes in the gop.

you can have a disquieting lack of knowledge so long as you connect with people's hearts.

i think they nominate a cute fluffy kitten.

Too many voters ( easily manipulated by the media ) have had their opinion formed
for her to have a reasonable chance of winning.

The Governor couldn't resist the spotlight, and joined a bunch of losers.

She should stay in Alaska, continue her success as the most popular state
leader in the union, and become a US Senator no earlier than 2014.

P.S.: Anyone who believes she brought the ticket down, must believe
McCain would have won with uhhhhhhhhh........... who ?

that'll be hard since her popularity in alaska plunged during the vp campaign.

she was popular because she was previously seen as a moderate republican reformer in the state. the vp campaign changed her image in a way that's going to be very difficult to overcome.

partisan dim bulb doesn't sell nearly as well.

I disagree. I'm not sure you can ever teach someone what it takes to be a President

I do know what you're saying of course. She could put on a much better persona
