Sarah Palin deserves a second chance at the presidency! The uneven treatment she received was shameful and although the election is over the bashing continues. Many believe the bashing to be an attempt to sabotage any future elections she may think to run in. This year brough many "firsts" for all of us. The first black president - and possibly the first woman vis president. Either way we celebrate 2008 as a year of dreams coming true for so many. The sight of these candidates with their families walking the the platform is inspirational. All of the candidates deserve our warmest wishes. Sarah Palin was a breath of fresh air in a somewhat stale political atmosphere. Like Obama, Sarah was new to the scene, much like fresh blood for the hunter! The hounds were released and they sought to kill her with lies and half truths. Although the sexist attitudes of the secular media tested Sarah Palins character - she certainly came through with strength to spare. Questions loomed about the clothes she wore to questions about what she did or didn't know.

The wonderful thing about many citizens listening or reading these stories is that they make up their own mind based on what they see in a candidate. Many polls find that most people liked her and would vote for her if she runs again in 2012. There is nothing we like better than the underdog, who doesn't deserve it. We watched Sarah brought into the limelight with a spring in her step and a new outlook on politics today.The negative reporters best efforts could not make people dislike Sarah.

The people of the United States know the gifts and offers dangled in front of hungry eyes of new comers. We watch good people turned into money hungry wolves. There is no doubt many of those clothes, or anything else offered to her was a so called salary perk. Now, she has to give back her clothes, and the men maintain whatever they purchased form them. It is unfair and we are wise enough to see it. Our hope is that Sarah will maintain her individuality as she moves into the political arena. Wear your own clothes Sarah, and use your own words! We've seen the best dressed and most clever come and go, pockets full, leaving nothing but broken promises behind. Be yourself and let people make up their own minds.

Looking forward to 2012, I'm sure Sarah will run again. Hopefully she will be ready for the sabertoothed news media who were in bed with the Obama team. If they were well prepared this time, you can bet they will be even better in four years. It would be hard for any of us who believe in God to run-regardless of our denomination or religion-the secular media, or hard left will use it as a tacktic against us, as they did for Sarah!

Lets hope that Sarah will pack up her faith, her voice and her own home wardrobe to make the trip back to election road in 2012!
