Yep, that's why I continue to support Sarah. She's the best we have by a mile, and it's time for a Hail Mary pass. Or, to mix sports metaphors, you want your best hitter at the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
If she doesn't win, then we have to go to Plan B, which is probably better not discussed in public.
Ya know sumptin'? I don't think the baseball's right. It's more like with Palin, it's the bottom of extra innings, down by two, no one on, two out and two strikes. Hitting a home run won't do any long-lasting good, that is, she needs to be the start of a conservative revolution, and not a One Hit Wonder that Chicago Barry is. It's a tall order as Reagan could not really do it. Can Palin do it? I don't know, but I want to give her her shot: She's rested, she's on the bench and she swings a mean bat.
AP's right: A Cain win is a loss for the Republican Party hierarchy/elite. Without a TEA Party, Cain is nowhere to be found. Running for, and being, president is not just about politics, but about ideas and agendas. IDP said it about Bachmann, that she will vote pretty much the way he thinks almost every single time, and how that is comforting. Palin has great ideas, Constitutionally right beside Reagan's theories of small government. The left only wins elections because the rest of us are lazy (and not said in too much of a derogatory manner). The left get out the registration for votes, get out the votes, intmidate for the votes, i.e., just like how Obama won. I still believe, maybe surrendering to my own prejudices, that Palin has great support in this Nation. That she gets enthusiastic crowds when she speaks. Now this doesn't mean much for than she has a name. It is her record that speaks for itself, moreso than any Repub politician running.
As an aside, I hate the format of these 'debates'. Kee-rist on a rubber tipped crutch! These denates aren't supposed to be about who asks the questions -- and how they ask them, but about those who seek from us our most precious legacy: Our vote. Let these people go at each other as well as Obama. Romney should not be sacrosanct because of RomneyCare/nanny state attitudes; Perry should not be off limits on Immigration/the security of the borders of a free and self-ruling nation-state; Palin should not be off limits for resigning the Governorship/quitting. But let me hear them actually debate something, not this made-for-tv format (compressed to fit the time allotted).
I'll add my own conceited reaons for Palin running, getting the nod and taking it to Obama: She's been through the media's trial by fire and burning at the stake. No one else comes close in experience in this area. And any Repub running thinking he's supposed to be liked just doesn't get it. The media will never 'like' them, will never go with the good of a candidate over rumor and innuendo (why break a streak?). I honestly think she's got the aplomb -- and witticisms -- to carry the day with at least 51% of the vote, or
4 2 hundred and 70 some electoral votes
[Ed. - F*ck!]. I believe the media think they've killed Palin. But they underestimate her like they underestimated a guy like Reagan. There's something about brutally honest and folksy that is a winning combo with the cynics now known as the American people.
