YEAH ... GO AHEAD AND NOMINATE SARAH PALIN

Neal Boortz  "It would seem that if I'm going to be a good conservative there is some unwritten rule that I must believe that Sarah Palin would make a fantastic president of the United States.  Sorry, don't buy it.  Several times on the air I told my listeners that if they want to make sure that Barack Obama is a two-term president, all they have to do is put Sarah Palin on a national ticket.  Now before you go ballistic, hear me out.  It's not that I don't like her."...
