Conservative Political Action Conference - the people who just got slammed for bringing the gay-rights group into CPAC.

Guess Sarah doesn't have the vote from the right, eh.
 
I was thinking of this...

... which is a CPAP machine.

Anyway... Sarah Palin isn't going to get elected in 2012. I doubt that she will even be a nominee for the Republicans unless they are sure they are going to lose to Obama and don't have a chance in hell.

no she won't get elected, and yep, if they run her, they will lose again,
but I'm not so sure O will get it then either.
The ball game is changing, but not like Obama thought.
 
It is encouraging that Ron Paul got the most support. I like Paul. I doubt I'd ever vote for him but a lot of his positions are spot on. Maybe some sanity is returning when you see him beat out Romney and Palin by such margins.
 
Ron Paul says some wacky shit. Occasionally he makes some sense. It's hard to tell what's gonna come out of his mouth next.
