Palin for president??

[one love]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has put the "brutal" 2008 campaign behind her and has the next presidential race in her sights, with a flurry of national television interviews and a high-profile appearance at the Republican Governors Association meeting this week.

Palin's stepping-out has been a marked departure for a vice presidential candidate who was held to tightly controlled appearances for much of the fall campaign. She's indirectly but unmistakably put her name in play as a potential presidential candidate, saying she'll "plow through that door" if it's God's will and conditions are right.

While Republican presidential nominee John McCain has kept a low profile since last Tuesday's election, Palin has spoken forcefully to deny any responsibility for her ticket's loss. She has blamed the policies of President Bush, the handicap of representing the incumbent party and the nation's financial crisis for the GOP defeat.

Ab-so-rocking-lutely. If we can't get behind an incredible woman of integrity then we are all doomed. She has a real record of change.

She has had a fantastic, refreshing and real interview with Greta. Nothing scripted, pretentious or fake. (See more tonight on Foxnews)

Her responses on not knowing the future and putting it in God's hands were from the heart of a real person in an extraordinary situation. If God opens the doors - she'll walk boldly thru etc. Unashamed to boldly demonstrate her faith in action.

She is the brightest thing conservatives have currently or probably will. If we allow the liberal media, unknown rino republican attacks and petty jealously destroy this woman and family... then we need to be ashamed.

I like her a lot better now that she's off the campaign script of lies and pettiness.

Mac, one of my favorite things about that interview with Greta - Sarah making the cheese dogs!

Now there's a candidate for me - a lady who can govern a state, run for VP of the U.S., discuss national and foreign affairs, and make cheese dogs all at the same time.

Greta is obviously enamored with her and has her in high regard.

Yes she is. Greta never came out and said it officially, but you can tell she loves Palin.

I thought these interviews showed the reall Gov. Palin. She was sharp and knew what she was talking about.

I'm on board with Sarah in 2012. I'll make my first donation as soon as she announces. I only donated to McCain after he nominated her.

Exactly. This woman nails it in this online column.

Salon: Camille Paglia on Palin...

...But no, reporters have been too busy playing mini-badminton with every random spitball about Sarah Palin, who has been subjected to an atrocious and at times delusional level of defamation merely because she has the temerity to hold pro-life views.

How dare Palin not embrace abortion as the ultimate civilized ideal of modern culture? How tacky that she speaks in a vivacious regional accent indistinguishable from that of Western Canada! How risible that she graduated from the State University of Idaho and not one of those plush, pampered commodes of received opinion whose graduates, in their rush to believe the worst about her, have demonstrated that, when it comes to sifting evidence, they don't know their asses from their elbows.

Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology -- contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought.

I like Sarah Palin, and I've heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is -- and quite frankly, I think the people who don't see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma.

And that coming from a woman who is pro-choice. What audacity of fairness.

It's what Dr. Ron and I have yelled for a long time about the Abortion issue. This liberal woman highlights it also.
