I like not much about him except his electability . I've always been one to vote my conscience [ Wallace and Perot ] and let the chips fall where they may .

This Obama is much to dangerous to allow ourselves the luxery of conscience when the price might be his re-election .

All of you pros espousing that there is no hurry to pick a candidate are WRONG !

Pretty good question, really.

Yet to be answered by several on this thread�

Some names have been tossed about with little to back them up.
Maybe just a poll with their guy ahead of Palin by a few points and close to Obama.
Other polls differ and they all will change many times in the next two years.
Candidates will change. Some of the new faces looking good but they will have only about six months max in their new jobs before they would have to commit.
And good people like Rep. Paul Ryan will have their hands full for the next two years.

One poll that won�t change is the last election and if I had to give only one of my many reasons why I think Palin can beat Obama�it would be her support in the Tea Party.

I�m predicting that the Tea Party will hang tough and do well in the next two years.
And they will convince the moderate/independent voters that their vote in 2010 was not wasted.
Convince them to vote for the Tea Party presidential candidate and more Senators.
Then hang on for a real ride!

So ........ who can we nominate that can beat Obama ?

How �bout we let Sarah Darlin� answer that:

Here is what she told Chris Wallace awhile back:

"I do want competition to allow the cream of the crop to rise (in the GOP contests),"

+100 If Romney gets it we will have a repeat of 2008.

Much to be tossed, turned, and ruminated upon, many entrails to be examined, many ti leaves to be read, many pipes to be smoked, before I decide The One.

You must understand this is not an easy decision, all I ask is that you give me time. Then all shall be well. Trust me.

If the Republicans field a candidate who is truly fiscally conservative, truly believes in small government (and the requisite much smaller military footprint), and-here's the crucial part- stays away from the puritanical schoolmarm bullchit, they'll have a chance.

Otherwise they won't.

The hot-button sexual and moral issues are the kiss of death for conservatives. America doesn't want to be preached at.

Palin would be about the worst possible candidate. She's not believable as anything other than a social-issue crusader.

IMHO, and while nobody here will believe it, I really, really hope the Republicans field a worthy candidate who unseats Obama.

amen

Too late now you son-of-a-bitch...........you already cursed us by helping to put that Devil in the White House!!

��as Presidential timber��Remember way back when Governor Palin warned that reducing Alaska�s early warning missile defenses capabilities was shortsighted with all that is going on in North Korea?

Remember when the Governor went to Hong Kong and warned about the collapse in the value of the dollar and spoke of the importance of gold?

And came back home and warned the rest of us about the dangers of the Federal Reserve�s second round of quantitative easing.?

Remember when Governor Palin opined that the best answer to the question of the West Bank settlements was to let the Israelis decide, a policy the administration is now following?

Remember how Palin was campaigning to develop our ONSHORE energy resources�years before the Gulf Oil Spill?

And this:

Remember Governor Palin being ridiculed by all those from Charles Krauthammer up to and including Obama for her �death panels� Obamacare rationing predictions?
Remember after that, when Congress removed the death panels they said were never there?
They�re back.

Jeff_O---A succinct summary of the problems facing the Conservative Movement today and into 2012. That is why selecting the nominee is of deadly importance.

If we send up an unelectable "Social" Conservative it will be disaster.

These positions are very easy to posit if you are a private citizen, fresh from a half term as the Governor of a very small state. But then she is a "reality" TV celebrity and a great fund raiser for Conservatives and Conservative causes. She will continue to be a very effective tool if handled adroitly.

May she continue to prosper.

Thus speakest Spanokopitas the Magnificent!

Spano, you are right. Hell, anybody could have written that crap. Even Palin!

�These positions are very easy to posit if you are a private citizen,�

Actually, that was the stupidest statement posted so far on this long thread.

Posted by Spano, whom I believe to be one of the most clever writers on Campfire.

Nobody could be as condescending and patronizing as he would have us to believe.

�Meanwhile I am researching the possibilities and I also have my best people working on it. If at all possible I will first announce my choice right here on the 'fire. Stand by.�

Nobody could be this pompous. Nobody.

�You may note that who she appeals to (as Presidential timber) are of little intellect and small in number.�

Nobody could be this disdainful and contemptuous of those who do not agree with his Omniscient Proclamations.

�Reliable sources tell me that Governor Palin is definitely in the race for the Republican nomination. She will announce her decision "soon.

Remember you read it here first.---Spanokopitas
Notice that I am first here and quit possibly the first nationwide to break this important news, or does Drudge have it up? Haven't checked him this morning.

Disaster awaits.
Her nomination would ensure BHO a second term.
That is FACT, not fiction or opinion.�

Spano, you overplayed your hand when you posted:

�At this juncture polls mean little or nothing. For instance my people tell me she would lose in a landslide to BHO.
That would be disaster for this nascent Conservative resurgence.
Disaster awaits.�

And I posted:

�I wanted my people-my staff to look into more polls about Palin�
But she told me that the only poll that counts was the last election and she is going Xmas shopping now and I would have to do my own research.
She also told me I could fix my own damn supper tonight.�

Then you blew it with:

�Tonight we are having goat shanks simmered in Marsala served with Chantrelles, polenta, and bok choy. Also on the menu is fresh baked focaccio and a bottle of Italian wine. Dessert will be Biscotti and fruit. And, no, you are not invited.�

That night after I finished my can of SteaknShake chili and popped my second can of beer�it came to me.

It is time�you have a class act, but it is over. You have been outed.
You have been a convenient backboard for us Palin Patriots for rebounds and you have done more than your fair share to keep threads like this one alive.

But it too easy for you. All you have to do, is keyboard a couple of lines and sit back and watch the fun.

It is time to let folks know (those who haven�t already figured this out long before me).
What is going on here.

Spano is one hell of a writer!

Hmmmmm ... Maybe it wasn't Lee24 who invented Gus ,after all .Maybe it was Spano !

LOL right now Sarah is the top darlin but just sit there drooling about all those moderate neverbees.

I appreciate accolades even from those of limited political savvy. Thank you.---Spano.

I neither confirm or deny.

I didn't think your reading comprehension was above the 10th percentile; now I know.

Where did I ever suggest I was for a moderate? You are getting so confused.

Please�all you guys who have been poking about Campfire longer than me�tell me that I�m not wrong about this. Please!

You're wrong.

deal widdit.

I got seniority - and Bowsinger be right .I ain't too sure what he wants to be right about , but since it's him and Spanky , Bowsinger got to be right .

You got that wrong Bristoe is correct.
