Sarah Palin for President: Support Base Grows

Sarah Palin

Forget John McCain. Forget Barack Obama for that matter. And forget 2008! We're already looking ahead to 2012 and Sarah Palin...for President.

That's right. http://www.palin4pres2012.com/ is about to start working towards the goal, obviously under the assumption that a 76 year old McCain won't be running for a second term.   The website is slated to go live in just a matter of days. 

"Sarah Palin is the next Ronald Reagan." -- Richard Viguerie of ConservativeHQ.com wrote.

Palin has drawn more buzz in the last week than any political figure of our time, or so it seems.

Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska city council from 1992 to 1996, then won two terms as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 to 2004 while also serving as Ethics Supervisor of the commission.

In November 2006, Palin was elected the governor of Alaska, becoming the first woman and youngest person to hold the office. She defeated incumbent Republican governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election, garnering 48.3% of the vote to 40.9% for Knowles.

On August 29, 2008, Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain announced that he had chosen Palin as his running mate. She was nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Palin is the second woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket and the first Republican woman to do so.

I question her intelligence.

Anyone with a functioning brain cell would not support a VP who is a creationist. They're totally out of touch with reality.

You wrote, "Anyone with a functioning brain cell would not support a VP who is a creationist. They're totally out of touch with reality." There may be many reasons to question her intelligence, I do not know, but this is certainly not one of them. Many of the greatest minds, most learned and formerly generally respected scientists of our time have stopped embracing macro evolution, considering it to be a failed construct. Others, including some of the most famous, such as Theodosius Dhobzansky, consider, or considered themselves to be Theistic Evolutionists, which is to say, "Creationists." i.e. God did it, but used evolution. To say that is to still be broadly included in the Creationists camp. She doesn't claim to be a scientist does she? Apparently you are the one without much brain function. Perhaps you need to get out more and meet many of the intelligent, creative, sharp and fully functioning people who self identify as Creationists. I, for one, have an IQ of 163, a Master's degree and a penchant for far more precision than you exercised in your ridiculous post. Sarah Palin may or may not be an outstanding choice, that jury is still out, but it will not be because she finds herself in agreement, regarding origins, with some 70+ percent of her public, and a good number of the sharpest scientific minds from various fields and disciplines.

Great article for those saying that Obama has more experience then Palin. A least her experience is in the executive branch
