The Nuge may love Sarah Palin on a personal level but he’s not prepared to make her president. In fact, the famed Tea Party-loving, conservative-backing, gun-owning, Obama-hating rocker wouldn’t vote for her as of now.

“(Palin’s) coming from the street, she’s coming from the we-the-people rank-and-file, she makes sense when she talks, she says all the right things, she’s sincere, she’s knowledgeable , she’s articulate, she’s damn good-looking, plus she kills moose, how can you go wrong?” Nugent gushed.

However, when Cooper pressed Nugent on whether Palin would make a good president, Nugent balked.

“It’s too early to tell. Right know, if we had a vote, I couldn’t vote for Sarah Palin. And I love her. I love her madly, and I respect her.”

You have a problem when someone as reliably conservative and Tea Party-loving as The Nuge isn’t even convinced that Sarah Palin should become president. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to worry about whether or not independents would support her. Might be something to consider.
