Unfortunately, the media has been so successful at destroying her reputation that it has even spilled onto some conservative voters. Whether or not she would win, I believe she and Romney are the best candidates as of now. Another good conservative is LA governor Bobby Jindal, but not sure if he is interested in running. I don't know why people doubt Palin's capability and experience. She was the governor of Alaska, which is much more than Obama could say. They attacked her for lack of experience yet a rookie Senator won the office. A governor is basically the CEO of the state, whereas a senator is merely a representative of the state in the upper house that gets to vote on federal issues. This will always be a tough debate because the media did such a good job of destroying her, however the polls do not lie and so far she is leading in the polularity contest for potential Republican presidential candidates. If things keep going the way they are this president is going to literally destroy the Democratic party and name. In that respect, anyone could beat him in the next election. I would think Massachusetts would have made more people aware of just how out of touch the Democrats are with interests of Americans. Palin has 2 more years of building support before it is time to make a decision to run. I would like to see a card with Palin and Romney with Romney in the President slot. I am not in favor of all of Romney's ideals, however when it comes to fiscal policy, which is going to be the number one issue, I believe Romney would be the highest qualified to improve our financial and economic status. Romney is a businessman with a highly respectable track record.
Of course, if it was at all possible I would like to see Ron Paul as President, but doubt the country would elect him. That's too bad though, he is a man that holds American values and the Constitution in the highest regard.
