| #12 I beg to differ, Bright Pebbles. The little I've seen leads me to believe his GPA was inflated, and his election to the Harvard Law Review was for much the same reasons as his election to the presidency of the United States. I don't doubt he believes he is as good as his resume' claims, though. |

| #11 That's because he's does well academically, but has no real intelligence. |

| #10 I'd love to see Mitch Daniels get it, but Jindal, Pawlenty, or Barbour are possible, and Perry would be a blast. Jindal's evasive comments re: The Louisiana Purchase, IMHO, make him unfit to be president. Heck, I think they make him undesireable to be governor; he was elected because the rest of us down here were tired of the Democratic machine, not because we wanted him to play footsie with it. Also, I don't think, in 2012, anyone's going to want some sort of postgraduate-degree wonder who's never DONE anything in his life. Part of the problem with Zero is that we're continually HEARING about how smart he is, without any evidence being in attendance. |

| #8 An old dog that we all know and understand sounds too much like an old Washington hand who's gone to the right schools and gets along with all the journos and others from Georgetown. I think people still want and we end up getting an outsider, but someone with a bit more experience than Palin. I doubt we get another Senator, they don't work out well. So that leaves one of the Govs. I'd love to see Mitch Daniels get it, but Jindal, Pawlenty, or Barbour are possible, and Perry would be a blast. Too bad Palin resigned. Too bad Sanford self-destructed, but that's a good example of why not to go for the young uns. Should be a crowded field. |

| #7 I agree, Doctor Steve. After this brief experiment with an unvetted neophyte with hidden records (grades and otherwise) and no proven record of votes ("present" is not a vote) on tough issues, nor core principles. I think the next Prez will be an old dog that we all know and understand with a proven track record. "Hope and Change" will be in the shit-can. Back to "Let's get the Adults in power" |

| #6 I don't think Sarah Palin is ready to be president in 2012, and I don't think a person without deep experience is going to be elected in 2012. But it sure is fun to watch the rabid Left go, well, rabid ... |

| #5 Good summary 49 Pan...not a pro-palin article so much as scare-warning prediction. |

| #4 Oh, please stop with the "President Palin" nonsense. She'd probably make a good Senator for Alaska, though, and after a couple of terms doing the nitty-gritty in Washingtoon, who knows. But 2012? Don't make me laugh. |

| #3 First, he has long past Carter in in inability to get anything done. And second, at least that "Dumb hot chick" knows how to make a decision. After Obama, anything will be better. Even a hot chick from Wassilla... |
