Guest Submission by Jim Ballew

Dear Mrs. Palin;

Aren’t you sick of all the people that write you open letters?  First, I wouldn’t doubt that all the open letters were one reason you decided not to run.  They are friggin’ annoying, aren’t they?  Second, who the heck thinks they can tell you – a very successful politician who did the impossible in Alaska and gets paid to give OTHERS advice on TV – anything you don’t already know?  Those people are disgusting.

Mine is different because unlike all those other pretenders, I am near prescient in my political perceptions and “get you” more than all the others.  (And please tell your strapping union husband that that is NOT a come-on and not to snap my little bird body in two.)  Don’t worry, I now you aren’t going to reconsider jumping in.  Todd’s utter delight that you guys aren’t caught up in the campaign makes it clear to me that’s off the table.  For now.

But, I just wanted to be the one to tell you.  It’s time to endorse Gingrich or pick a Rick.

Bear with me.  Only 1% of the delegates have been assigned to MittSlickster, but he does have the big “Mo” coming out of New Hampshire.  But we have to remember Obama essentially stole the 2008 nomination from Hillary simply by creating the appearance of inevitability.  He did it through a complicit lame stream media and massive voter fraud and Mitt is prepared to do it through a complicit lame stream media and the Republican establishment frauds.

Should Romney win both South Carolina and Florida – where he is leading by his largest margins yet, it is fairly close to inevitable that he will also carry Super Tuesday and become the GOP Nominee to face Obama.  Romney has to be stopped in South Carolina and we can’t wait until the last minute.

Only you, Newt and Texas Ricky have been the ones to point out that beating Obama is not enough.  First, we have to have a candidate that clearly understands we need majorities of CONSERVATIVES in both Houses and a new farm system at state and local levels.  Secondly, this candidate has to have a PASSION to reform government.  We have to REPLACE the Boehner’s of the world who think it is enough to “try” the Balanced Budget Amendment and Cut, Cap & Balance once, and then give in to crippling our military because the liberals control the Senate. If we don’t the next “compromise” will will ensure ALL taxes go only to paying the interest on our Chinese debt and we won’t even get a fortune cookie.

If Mitt 24.0 is indeed Bush 3.0 in disguise or worse, there will eventually be a third or even fourth party and the RINO’s and Donkey’s will guarantee we will end up like Greece or worse.  Mitt’s weak economic plan will revive the economy just enough to where people won’t care about REAL reform.  Remember the ‘90’s when we were forced to talk about adopting some kind of health care because we couldn’t explain NOT giving it when there were surpluses?  And Americans didn’t want to screw around with replacing screwing-around Clinton when the economy was rolling.  (Our country badly needs an injection of character.)

Here is where you come in.  We need you to lead.  Please pick a horse. Or better a stampeding elephant with an unquenchable desire to propose and push dramatic reform. As you outlined in your qualifications for a President last spring, we need someone with executive experience – and only Perry and Gingrich come close. 

We know what will happen.  If even 70% of the non-Romney vote coalesce around Rick, Rick OR Newt – Romney doesn’t stand a chance.

In tracking your poll numbers prior to October 4th of last year, it seems you consistently could draw at least 17% to 22% of the field. I suspect that has shrunk somewhat but despite your humility, you know the “Palinistas” will drop everything to back your vision – if you help orchestrate this.  And that is enough to make ALL the conservative candidates know your endorsement will either solidify the leader, or make someone like Perry viable making it impossible for ANYONE to win against the Romulan.

But my (and likely your) idea of “leading” isn’t just an endorsement.  It is to create a unified team that will triple your message in the media, your coverage of voting canvass events, and your money in muckity muck fundraisers by turning the competitors into the cabinet elect.

Get these guys together somewhere in South Carolina – and tell them you are going to choose one and reinvigorate the Palin Posse.  You help them determine how to work as a team.  You tell them who you want to endorse and it will fall into line.  Newt as President, you as VP, Santorum as Secretary of Defense. Or Perry as President, You heading Energy, Gingrich as Secretary of State and Santorum as VP.  Whatever. Cast lots like they did in the bible.  But start running as a team NOW!  If you band together, the non-Rom’s have nowhere else to go no matter how many millions of dishonest ads he wants to run.

Better yet, you will turn the GOP nominee into what would have been an isolated sitting survivor into a a conjoined force that would be able to spread out to all the news venues, fund raising events and rally’s in strength.

And with a clear mission to EDUCATE both the GOP and GENERAL voter on WHY conservative principles work – and what it will do next year.

Best of all, you know who came up with the team idea?  A retired 30 year school teacher who has been training vote watchers and has put a local liberal bureaucracy on the run.  (Read what she is doing at www.TexasTrashTalk.com).

We share with you a great admiration for our Founding Fathers and Mothers who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for freedom.  It is time to risk whatever you have to, to ensure we have the right army going into the the 2012 battles and beyond.

Show us how leadership is done.  You are the female William Wallace that can “unite the clans.”  Yeah, some of the RINO nobles will resist, or set you up to ambush you.  But don’t let it be said if Romney MoJo is accelerated in South Carolina, that a Palin sat on the sidelines.

You sure you want us to think that Todd is the only one who can make a decision put it all out there for a candidate?

PS. Here is a lesson on how to create a strategy to win not just the Presidency, but the conservative system.
