It could make sense. Republican national tickets typically do much better with governors than legislators. Texas is a rich source of conservative political donors. And it would get the GOP back with a genuine Southerner on the ticket, historically a strong suit and one that would help counter Barack Obama's likely choice of current Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, the new head of the Democratic National Committee, to replace the aging Joe Biden, who'll be 70 by then.Gov. Palin pulls huge crowds when she speaks.
She inspired a local businessman, Tom Sheets, to put his own money behind "I Am Voting For The Chick" signs to distribute throughout the area. They were so overwhelmingly popular that they ended up going nationwide.
When appearing in Richmond last fall to a capacity crowd, she was inspirational enough for my 80-something parents to stand in line with their "I Am Voting For The Chick" signs to hear her address the enthusiastic crowd.
Everywhere she appeared throughout the country on behalf of the McCain-Palin ticket, record-breaking crowds of thousands eagerly lined up to hear her inspirational, "I'm-a-conservative-and-I'm-proud-of-it" remarks.
At the Republican National Convention in Saint Paul in September 2008, the night that Sarah addressed the packed convention center (there was not an empty seat to be found), the place was electrified! Roars of approval and cheers almost brought down the roof.
Her popularity continues.
The latest Rasmussen poll shows 76% of Republicans are more behind her even after her resignation announcement.
In June her appearance in a small New York town brought thousands -- the crowd was estimated at 20,000 -- out to line the streets and cheer for Sarah, many holding signs urging her to run for president in 2012. When she prepared to address the crowd, they began chanting, "Run, Sarah, Run."
In June, comedian David Letterman's crude remarks on national TV about Gov. Palin's 14-year-old daughter brought millions to her defense resulting in an apology by Mr. Letterman.
Gov. Palin continues to appear before sold out events throughout the country and remains popular in her own state of Alaska. Will she prevail?
My bets are on Sarah.
