Palin Hints at Ticket With Beck in 2012

'He's so bold,' gushes Sarah

By Mary Papenfuss| Posted Nov 19, 09 2:58 AM CST|

Updated Nov 19, 09 5:28 AM CST

(Newser) – Duck and cover. Sarah Palin made only positive noises when asked about a possible run at the presidency with Glenn Beck as her running mate. "I can envision a couple of different combinations if ever I were to consider running for anything in the future. But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. And he's so bold — I have to respect that," Palin told Newsmax.

Don't panic just yet, counsels Joan Walsh in Salon. "She will never be our president," Walsh insists. "But I can't rule out her being the 2012 Republican nominee. When you look at the charisma-free roster of likely GOP candidates, it's easy to see Palin creaming them." As for Beck, Palin's praise is "just chicken-fried red meat for her base," Walsh notes.

IF someone like Obama can be president (Only 2 years as a US Senator), then why not Sarah Palin? Obama has no particular experience that leads one to believe he would be a good president. If hope and change is all one has, then well, Obama proves that anyone can make it to the presidency. In the case of Sarah Palin, she will make it to the presidency in 2012. Just look at the elections of Carter/Ford in 76 and then Reagan/Carter in 1980 for a preview of what you are going to see in 2012.

Sarah would make a great President. She's done a great job at the positions she's held so far, so this progression is only natural. Beck, while I'm a fan, I would be wary of. After all, he doesn't have any political leadership experience. However, he seems smart enough that he could learn. Or perhaps she could give him a Cabinet position? Reply

Nov 19, 09 9:23 AM CST

@fondue i couldn't find the 3200 but i did find this,,,is this what you were talking about? Taxes: Palin has adhered to her party’s dislike of taxes for individuals, but that sympathy doesn’t necessarily extend to corporations. Alaska has some of the nation’s highest gas prices. Palin just signed a bill to suspend Alaska’s gasoline tax until Aug. 31, 2009, actually implementing in her state what John McCain advocated this year on the national scene. And she is using royalties from oil-and-natural gas production to give all residents a one-time payment of $1,200 to defray the cost of gasoline. The bill, signed Aug. 25, also suspends taxes on marine fuel and aviation fuel for a year. Last year, Palin raised taxes on oil companies–big operators there include ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and BP–doubling state revenue from the oil patch to $10 billion in the fiscal year ended June 30. Alaska now gets about $49 of each $120-a-barrel of crude pulled from its fields, according to the Seattle Times. ConocoPhillips has said the state gets about 75% of the price of each barrel. The Alaska tax jump has been termed a windfall-profit tax. Congressional Republicans including John McCain have opposed windfall-profits taxes from oil companies on a national level, while Barack Obama has supported it.
