What is wrong with Mark Sanford and the GOP

In 2012 the Republican Party needs a candidate who champions small government (with an emphasis on self-government), fiscal conservatism, First Amendment rights, the right to bear arms, and the right to life for the unborn. Sarah advocates all of these. You see, Governor Palin makes decisions based on her inherent value system, not on expedience or self-interest. Additionally, she strikes a chord with the average working citizens of America like no other. Within two short months, she has become the most prominent female politician in America, eclipsing even Hillary Clinton! Who knew? Sarah clearly has a gift for connecting with everyday Americans, an asset that will prove crucial in 2012. The GOP needs a unifier; Republicans need a leader to whom they can relate. Sarah has proven that she can bring people together and relate to voters on a personal level. This is critical!

Ultimately, in order to win in 2012, the Republican Party needs to nominate a candidate who represents the antithesis of the liberal Democrats of the Obama administration yet doesn’t estrange any major factions of the Republican Party. Sarah Palin is one such candidate, and to turn on her now would be foolish, to say the least.

It`s just jealousy/sexism. The GOP elite should take a moment and reassess what would have happened to MacCain without Sarah Palin on the ticket. BHOpe would have won every state. Considering BDS, the financial mess and the aura of BHOpe, McCain-Palin acquitted themselves well.
