Pushing for Palin

There are rumors buzzing around the media currently that Governor Sarah Palin will run for president in 2012. The media is wrong most of the time, and hopefully they're wrong about this as well.

Don't get me wrong, I support Governor Palin. She's vibrant, full of life, and has a personality that appeals to many. However, I don't believe she'll be ready for such a race so rapidly after the McCain campaign.

Palin will surely play a significant role in the re-emergence of the GOP and the Conservative movement that will most definately take place in the following years, however if she is seriously contemplating a presidential run in the near future, she should cool her jets.

The young congresswoman still has a lot to learn before she can seriously take a stab at the presidency. She needs to clear her name from the alligations that have been thrown around by insiders on the McCain campain, re-group and take serious stands on problems facing the country. I have a feeling that after Obama's first term, people will be searching for a different type of "change", one that makes sense. Depending on what Obama does in way of a second term, the window will be there for the GOP to retake the White House and show people that it's serious about coming through for the people, not just the party. When the opportunity presents itself, I think there will be clear choices for the presidency. Those choices will not include Sarah Palin.

Louisianna's own Bobby Jindal and my home-grown hero Paul Ryan are the two that seem to be getting prepped for an upcoming GOP nomination, and by all means they should continue. Both men are hardworking and honest, with great ideas and star power. They are youthful, which will be highly marketable, intelligent, and have meat to back up the bare bones of campaign promises. Such men will be the future of the GOP and will be responsible for a triumphant return to America's main politcal stage. The year of the donkey will be overshadowed by the brilliance of the future leaders in the Republican Party.

Sorry Sarah, you may have to wait a little longer to rise once again to the top. Although you are fabulous, you were whisked from your home and launched into the public eye prematurely. Now is your time to prepare yourself, polish up, and stand tall while waiting for your next opportunity to shine.

Palin for president in 2012? Not likely. However, there will come a day when our beloved Alaskan governor will rise up and shine. Faithful fans will be here waiting.
