There is no quit in Palin or she would not be still standing after the crap she has had to endure.
More than any other by far.
If you don�t understand why the Governor resigned, the good valid and smart reasons for doing so�that is your problem.
2. Bridge to Nowhere
You mean the one Gov. Palin cancelled the funds for?
She could have done that sooner, maybe better, but it did get cancelled.
During her inaugural address on December 4, 2006, Governor Palin pledged responsible spending.
On January 17, 2007, she sent a revised budget to the president of the Alaska Senate that would restrict capital spending and rescinded the $185M state share of the bridge funding.
In August 2007, Alaska's Department of Transportation stated that it was "leaning" toward alternative ferry options, citing bridge costs and the reluctance of Governor Palin to pay the state's match to the appropriated federal funds.
A month later, in September 2007, Palin formally canceled the project
Palin stated:
�Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer. Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it�s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Much of the public�s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened.�

I think Daniels will be the dark horse and his running mate would be crucial. I suspect Daniels will be all lined up with one, or close to it, if he declares. As for him being a RINO, I don't see it. Condoleeza Rice is what I heard at the State dinner..

The Republican nominee will be Romney. Notice I didn't say "should be" I said "will be".
You can take it to the bank.
If that is the truth this is what you will hear in Nov 2012....Smack... Its a Home Run for the Dems! It Could Go All The Way! Surely you can do better than that!

Toot---Even with all of Bowsinger's support Perky is not going to be the nominee.
I'm wondering if Romney will hire him after Perky bows out. I'm sure Bows will be looking for a new job.

She only cancled the funds for the Gravina Bridge when the national attention was too much and she and Alaska looked like a Pork State with a Pork Governor . See story: Palin backed 'bridge to nowhere' in 2006 http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-08-31-palin-bridge_N.htmQuote: "We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge, and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative," Palin said in August 2006, according to theKetchikan Daily News. Palin only stands for crap if some one is paying her speaking fees. Please keep in mind that her greatest accomplishment was how well she took on Big Oil and restructured the amount or oil royalties they paid to the state of Alaska....I think you call that a Tax Increase! Yup, she is mavericky!

Perry is pretty much the poster boy of the african nose-horned beasts. The so called leaders of that ailing herd are being culled so fast, now they're going to throw the kitchen sink at the primaries. ANYTHING to make sure the nominee has a horn on their snout.
Those extremists who dare speak of that pesky old Constitution & have any Tea Party ties MUST be stopped, at any cost. (Ours, of course...)

don't know how you're so sure about Romney Spano, you may well be correct but I don't see how a fella would know at this juncture
but I agree with others if it is him it's a big plus for the Dems
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

but I agree with others if it is him it's a big plus for the Dems He has the most money and best organization of anyone except BHO and he has been working at it for years. I'm not sure anyone can beat BHO but I believe he has the best chance. Remember I have not endorsed him or anyone else at this time.

Is there a single one of the current line-up that's worth a schit?
Gingrich sucks.
RP is batschit crazy.
Romney is Hussein-lite.
Johnson just screams RINO.
Huckster is out.
Trump is a sideshow...at best.
Daniels is nothing inspiring at all.
Cain might be "it", thus far....
Can we please draft West and Haley? You don't really believe Paul is batshit crazy. You just don't want him because he won't maintain America's world empire. What you don't realize, though, is that your precious empire is going to fall whether Paul's elected or not. Just that if it falls without him being president, it's coming down hard, and we're going down with it. With Paul it will be brought down in an orderly way, so as to actually benefit the United States rather than in a way that will destroy her.

Just remember to PM for my address when he isn't . George I'll wrap and package him and send him overnight. You keep him, I just want my bullets  . On a more serious note, I hope I'm "right" for all of us. If Romney does take it, count on the Annointed One for another term  . George

For the "teachers" here and I use the term loosely:
em�pire   /ˈɛmpaɪər; for 8�10 also ɒmˈpɪər/ Show Spelled
[em-pahyuhr; for 8�10 also om-peer] Show IPA
�noun
1. a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, french Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Roman Empire.
2. a government under an emperor or empress.
No mention of an American Empire.

Whoever wins will be out of power for generation, much like the Republicans were in 1932. Hoover and the Republicans were holding the bag for a Depression, and whomever is elected this time around will be in for the same thing. The best outcome as I see it is to hold the House, which is the source of spending, and possibly gain the Senate, and let the Dems hold the Whitehouse with Ob  m@. The $hitstorm that will be the result of this debt/deficit madness will be of Biblical proportions, best to let the other side take the hits when it comes. I will be very surprised if we still have the right to vote in 2016, or at least the ability to vote for more than one candidate should the Democrats regain the House and hold the Senate and the Executive.

How many earmarks for the Minnesota home folks and how much farm subsidies collected for the Bachmann family farm in the Bachmann record? Earmarks? Minnesota? Minnesota receives $0.72 from the feds for every dollar paid in - only four states have a worse return.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
