If Palin Somehow Gets The Nomination in 2012, Who Will She Choose As Her VP?
Now, I would say that it would be Chris Christie, but he's deeply tied to Rove which means that he's in deep with the Bushes.

Then, I'm thinking Gov. Jan Brewer, but that's too much crazy on one ticket.

I'm kind of stumped. I don't know who would run with her.

60. I actually think that idiot is going to win the GOP nomination outright. I pray that the American
people are smart enough not to elect him to the White House.

3. With my luck? ME!
It'll be Sister Sarah's own crazy "Unity Ticket" scheme to link the teabaggers with Democrats in some hare-brained "maverickey" bipartisanship strategem, and I'll be the guy on TV looking over Sarah's shoulder mouthing the words "Save me from this goofball, DU!"

4. My cat, Morty. His odds are actually better than hers.
Face it, the woman has 50+ disapproval two years out, and 100% name recognition. That's a fatal combination.

She has no upside potential. None. Zero. Rien. Nada. Nichts. Her numbers peak the week she announces, and fall from there.

If she were a stock, you'd mortgage your house and short her with the proceeds.

7. Everyone on Faux News keeps talking as if its a done deal that whomever wins the Nomination, they
will choose Marco Rubio as VP. They think this will assure Republicans of the Hispanic vote overall and Florida's Electoral votes.
I'm not so sure.

14. Palin Would Never Pick Rubio
She strikes me as being very insecure and in need of being the center of attention, and as such, she'd never pick someone prettier than her.

22. That depends on how smart or stupid she is about it.
If she is going for smart political strategy, she will go with someone male (because I think it would sell better than an all female ticket), experienced and someone at least seemingly more moderate than her. I think it would also help if they weren't old and white (or if they are white, Jewish). Thats gonna be a hard candidate to find though. Maybe Norm Coleman? My that would be a party and a half. I don't think Colin Powell would give her the time of the day.

If she is going for pleasing the base, with no regard to mainstream independents, she will go with someone that isn't much of any of the above, ie Gingrich, Boehner, Brewer, Bachman, Rand Paul etc.

Rubio is a very good bet to be selected as a VP running mate no matter who wins the Republican nomination.

44. Huckabee would never agree to run with her. He knows she would lose....
and accepting to run with her would cause him to lose all credibility.
If Palin does decide to run I think she will have a hard time getting anyone that is 'sane' to run with her.

Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 05:02 PM by KansDem


Yeah, she's 89 but I just learned she's been pro-Iraq war since 2003 and fiercely anti-abortion, even in the cases of rape or incest. Reads the Bible every day.

She'll solidify the right-wing and conservative Christian base.

33. She'd have to choose someone with brains & dignity to balance what she lacks
And the only ones that would have enough brains and dignity to accomplish that kind of balancing act are Democrats.....and we all know that there ain't no Democrats that are ever gonna run with that asshole. So she's shit outta luck.

It would get the Montana vote, and everybody knows that's a state.

Except that Hannah is younger and prettier, so Sarah would always be stuck looking in that Magic Mirror and she'd probably order someone to cut out Hannah's heart eventually.

She will insist on rolling the two jobs into one, just like Hitler rolled the jobs of the Chancellor and President into one. She is at heart a corporate fascist and that move would appeal to her.
