"I Could Beat Him"

For those who don't know, Sarah Palin recently sat down with Barbara Walters to shoot an interview with ABC News to be air in early December. Palin stated that she was seriously considering making a run for the White House, and felt confident that she could beat Obama in 2012.

In my opinion, this is a big mistake. While Palin could quite possibly have a good chance at beating Obama, it's not worth the risk. Palin is a newcomer to national politics and has a less than positive image already associated with her by a large majority of Americans. She has been portrayed as inexperienced, incompetent, unintelligent, and unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief. I don't necessarily agree with these portrayals of here in their entirety, but I do feel she is not the topic choice for the Republican Party in 2012.

We hear wide array names being floated around for potential Republican nominees for the 2012 Presidential election, but who should we back? Only time will tell. People from Mitt Romney, to Mike Pence, to Jim DeMint all have been mentioned as potential presidential candidates, and I believe people like this would make a far better opponent to the President in 2012 than Sarah Palin.
