Sarah fires up the GOP AGAIN!

"Let us resolve not to become the negative party, too eager to find fault or unwilling to help in this time of crisis and war. Losing an election does not have to mean losing our way, and for governors, the way forward leads through our own state capitals in reforms we will carry on or begin anew." - the words of Sarah Palin at the Republican Governors' meeting in Florida today.

To say this lady "gets it" is an understatement in the extreme. It is a shame that she was overcoached by the McCain camp and wasn't allowed to simply be herself. We might be looking at a different political landscape right now if that had been allowed to happen.

"As far as we're concerned, the past is the past, it's behind us. And I, like all of our governors, we're focused on the future. And the future for us is not that 2012 presidential race. It's next year, and our next budgets and the next reforms in our states, and it's 2010 when we'll have 36 governors' positions open across the U.S."

And I think the Republican party is starting to understand what it is they have in Sarah Palin - as Texas Governor Rick Perry said in his introduction of her - "I can assure you, she's just getting started."

As her speech started one newscaster in the area said "What's the deal with her hair?" Nothing about the message.

I have said it before, I am looking forward to the next wave, Palin, Jindal, Huckabee, Romney, Evans, Pence and those yet to be named. I hope that a new Gingrich can be found in the next 2 years to help the recovery.

How hard it must be for Sarah to talk out of the other side of face? I guess its not the first time she's flipped flopped, bridge to nowhere anyone?

From "wealth spreader, socialist, palls around with terrorists" to "we need to work together"

Its going to take more than a few words to convince anyone that she's sincere.

She is one classy and smart woman. Saw her on Fox with Gretta for two nights.

Very impressive...............not afraid to tell it like it is which is a breath of fresh air.

Noqui, Saying those things about Obama and then saying we maust work together are not flip flopping at all. Both statements are true.

I agree 100% with you Simon. It's too bad the liberals can't see the truth. Of course, they pretty much hate anyone who disagrees with them especially on certain issues.

Good speech. She has class. I sense this was largely written by her.

Hugh, I am with you. Huckabee and Palin would have my vote.

Simon ~ With tears, this woman has so much class and wisdom and executive experience, it is a shame she is not going to the White House, but instead we have the most inexperienced empty suit that will ever hold the office of President of the United States. And in this, the liberals are rejoicing, this is what baffles me. Very intelligent people, who can't explain why they voted for such a man, but never can say what his experience is, oh but a community organizer he was.

Now he want to rule us, he now is spending money trying to win the senate seats, government takeover, and nobody says a word. The silence on the left, it is deafening.

I just love the way this lady rocks the establishment. She is tough and is her own person . It simply amazes me how some have sought to destroy her. I honestly believe those actions just strenghthen her resolve.

Thanks for posting. I am looking forward to learning more about Sarah Palin, and even more, how the Republican party can be more effective in delivering it's message.

She is one class act. She is what she is and I feel she is going to be part of America's future...a big part.

I hear talk of a 7 million dollar book deal for Sarah. And the press is still trying to portary her as not having popularity

Let's see... the MOST POPULAR Governor in the country. Three guys from the LEAST POPULAR governing body in the country. Had it not been for the press being in the tank for Obama, I think somebody might have noticed that Palin IS actually a change.

Huckabee/Palin 2012... Huckabee gets the top billing because he is for the FairTax.

Are you folks kidding me? Can't believe you all seem to be serious and supportive about this publicity-grabbing nut-job!

This governor's got little class!

Fresh turkey, anyone?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Simon,

We indeed have a winner in Sarah Palin. I just hope the country will see the need to elect her president in 2012.

Did I see she went to Georgia to help out with the runoff election they are having there?

Grabbing nut job? Oh! Dean....they got you! Break free my man, run...

I love Sara; she's great! Did anyone see the Conan show the other night? William Shatner was reading portions of her book, then she came out and read some of his. It was quite funny!

I reiterate...I love Sara; she's great and a great sport!
