Elect Yantis Green

I was there when Sarah Palin was introduced to the world at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota last September. I remember telling reporters leading up to the convention that Governor Palin, as John McCain’s choice for Vice President, was just what the party needed; she was an exciting, energetic conservative, pro-life, pro-family, pro-military governor from a western state. The response from grassroots Republicans was phenomenal; most Republicans loved her as the VP choice.

Since the election, Gov. Palin and her family have been the focus of attacks from the media, late night talk show hosts, and left leaning liberals from across the country.

I don’t know why she resigned; but I believe she still has a major part to play in GOP politics.

It seems to me that Palin is a much better person than South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford or any of the other high profile Republicans who have damaged the party through their own weaknesses.

Either way, it is time for grass roots Conservatives to decide who they want to lead the GOP through the 2010 election cycle and beyond. As a party, we must find a clear leader, a clear message, and a clear strategy to take back Austin and Washington in 2010 and again in 2012.
