I wanted to, was committed to, voting for Hillary Clinton for President. "The Universe" had a different direction for the country (USA) so I never was afforded the opportunity to vote for her.
I can NEVER vote for Sara Palin. The only impression I receive from her, is that she is a pretty woman. OK, a "sexy" woman (accusations of "male, chauvinist pig" may be in order here). That's all, that's it, nada, nothing more.
Part of me hopes she runs for President in 2012, either as a Republican or as the 3rd party, "Tea Party" candidate. Either way, if she runs, she is likely to "split" the conservative vote. That's what part of me thinks. (Read Mona Chavez's column of November 21, 2010. Chavez is a conservative, latino, female columnist, so her thoughts on Sara Palin, the Presidential candidate, are very relevant.)
That's what SCARES Mona Chavez, the Republican Party and potential Republican candidates, like John Boehner, TO DEATH. They know she might generate the power to be nominated, but she would be highly unlikely to win a national election.
The other part of me is SCARED TO DEATH of her running for President, BECAUSE SHE MIGHT WIN.
HOLY TERRORS, BATMAN, "how low can you go," America?
I THINK I could vote for Olympia Snow, the Congresswoman from Maine. I have good impressions of her. She seems intelligent, smart, "savvy," mature, thoughtful and independent. She doesn't neccessarily "follow the (Republican) Party line" according to her voting record and I mostly agree with her votes.
I KNOW I could vote for Robin Roberts for President, if she decided to run. She's one of the hosts of ABC's (TV network) morning show. Robin seems to embody all the qualities of both Sara Palin and Olympia Snow. Her "physical presence," is stunning, her mind is sharp and quick and her personality "draws" most folks to her, rather than drawing some, while repelling others.
I don't know what "political party," to which Robin belongs, but that's not important to me. After mentally comparing Robin to MOST political Presidential candidates on the horizon for the 2012 election (John Boehner, Sara Palin, et al,), I MOST DEFINITELY, would vote for Robin Roberts. (I am PURPOSELY ommitting the most important name which would be on this list).
But Robin's not qualified, she has no government experience, she's just a TV personality, you say.
So is Palin. Yes, she was Governor of Alaska and a Vice Presidential nominee in 2008, but she resigned her Governorship and was proven a real "lightweight" mentally, during her 2008 candidacy. To me, these political "experiences" don't count.
Consider, that many voters, in the 2008 Presidential election, voted AGAINST John McCain, because of her and many conservative voters stayed home and didn't vote, because of her. (MY LORD!! She MIGHT become President if McCain passed!)
As for me, from this "list of candidates I would have, would and wouldn't vote for," you'd have a difficult case to make for me being a sexist, racist, or male chauvinst pig, after all.
That reality MIGHT currently place me in the "underwhelming minority" among the American electorate.
"Guilty as charged."
