Man on the Street: Palin for President?
Former governor of Alaska and 2008 vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is at it again. The self-declared “rogue” Republican can now add grassroots political advocate to her résumé.
On Saturday, Palin delivered the keynote speech at the populist-conservative National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Although Palin has not announced plans to run for President in 2012, the audience made their opinions clear by chanting “run, Sarah, run” throughout her campaign-style speech.
The Red & Black asked several students their opinions of Sarah Palin and her possible candidacy in 2012.
ANDREW ACKALL
freshman biology major from Atlanta
“Her motives are sly.”
SARAH CONNER
senior microbiology and Spanish major from Norcross
“I admire her as a woman for balancing her job and her family, but I don’t think she should be president.”
JESSI CLARK
freshman political science major from Johns Creek
“I think her ideas for the country are ideas that would work.”
MALLORY O’BRIEN
junior telecommunications major from Marietta
“The only thing I like about Sarah Palin is the fact she brought Tina Fey back to Saturday Night Live.”
