Watch the video above and you’ll see a story about a group of locals who have launched DraftPalinforPresident.com, a Web site aimed at recruiting Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor and failed vice presidential candidate, to run for president in 2012.

WLOSer Courtney Ward’s story is light on detail. She quotes site “co-founder” Randy Thomas, but doesn’t say what he does for a living or where he lives. The YouTube video is tagged “Waynesville,” so maybe that’s where?

Randy has a TV show with Richard Brenier called Sound Off Buncombe on URTV.
Randy does web design and owns and ice cream business here in Asheville.
A very nice guy. Glad the site is up.

Wow! Some folks have time on their hands. Four-years, to be exact. I trust they’ll enjoy the Obama Administration, while they’re plotting their foolhardy political ploy/joke. Speaking of old jokes: Governor Sarah Palin
