Of course, since the world is scheduled to end in 2012, it may be a moot point.....LOL! (This should not be taken as a belief that Christ's return is not imminent, I believe it is. Just poking a little fun at the 2012 hoopla!)

LOL! Yea, sometimes I wish it would end! LOL!

Some points from Matthew Dowd's article:

Yes, she can: Palin has a shot at the presidency

Those having concerns about my objectivity or wondering whether I am a "Palinista" should keep in mind that I raised serious questions about her qualifications last fall -- doubts I still have -- and that I predicted John McCain would look back at his vice presidential pick with remorse.

Yet while the conventional wisdom has it that Palin is too badly damaged to make a serious run in 2012 -- and I agree that her success is not probable -- it is definitely a possibility that Palin could be elected president of the United States.

Looking ahead to the political landscape of the 2012 presidential election, there are certain elements to keep in mind, assuming that President Obama runs for reelection.

First, Gallup polls over the past 60 years show that no president with an approval rating under 47 percent has won reelection, and no president with an approval rating above 51 percent has lost reelection.

Who the Republican candidate is, and his or her qualifications and abilities, will matter only if Obama's approval rating is between 47 and 51 percent going into the fall of 2012. Interestingly, in the latest Gallup poll Obama's approval rating was at a precarious 49 percent.

Second, America is still (unfortunately) politically divided and polarized, and Palin benefits from this dynamic.

What I am understanding is that Obama has scheduled to release stimulus money before the elections in 2010 and 2012. He will then say, "See? We knew it would work. We need to have patience!"

What I am hoping is that the American people will see at the core of the Democratic Party even with the progressing of job stimulation, which would happen as a matter of cycle anyway, is the direction they are wanting to take this country - way too far left. Much more than any other Presidency.

I agree with Palin that the "planks" that are and supposed to be the core of the Republican Party is what she believes in, even though the party has, somewhat, lost it's way.

You just don't bite the hand that feeds you. These are not real Americans. We need more men and women like Sarah who are not afraid to stand up and be heard.

I'm thinking that the Tea Parties changed or ramped up the temperature of what this country truly stands for.

I heard someone this week say the reason he has been holding the stimulus money is to buy votes for his healthcare program. Example: Buying the La senator's vote, cost several million dollars.

Hadn't heard that, interesting. Someone posted that Sen. Landrieu had a $300,000 smile. LOL! Looked like it to me. I haven't read what Jindal thinks about it.

Isn't bribery illegal? Sounds like Chicago politics to me.

I'm sure that goes on all the time, but in this case - yes - so Chicago style! Just because it appears to be the MO of the Obama Administration.

She's the one who bragged about it, refuting the claim of ONLY $100,000,000.00, "no, it was $300,000,000.00".

She never met federal tax dollars she didn't like.
