I absolutely love this! From the vaunted WSJ no less!!!

Mrs. Palin is remaining quiet....she is waiting....she knows her battle plan....she knows her timing.....she is learning....studying the opposition....guarding the "cubs"....waiting quietly with an occasional "roar" (like the comments at the Iowa State Fair).....reconnoitering the challengers from within and the enemY from without.....studying weaknesses....building and conserving her strength....endlessly practicing....reading...honing her skills.....waiting.....waiting.....

This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing.

It is a very very long way to next November. There is no need to rush. In her mind's eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, "Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." and General Patton, "Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!"

Patience.....patience....

Wait for it!

And keep the faith....

Perry would be more disastrous than Romney. Of the group that’s clearly not tea party.

Perry would have a lot of trouble getting any votes north of the ohio river, north of the mason dixon line.

The old will she?, won’t she? attack.

Anyone who brings this up is a groupthink soldier hoping to paint Palin as indecisive.

Unfortunately in this formum, it is the siren of a fool.

“I really like Palin, but I also do not see her as God’s gift to American politics.”


Totally agree with you. But I do think she’s the best we’ve got —— for our country, especially now.

Of course she is running.

She’ll announce around Labor Day.

We need a leader, and she is it.

Palin said herself on Hannity that she’s still considering a run. I take her at her word. And I hope.

The vast majority of the voters are not paying attention now. I am 98% she will run.

I do think I understand the strategy she is using, as it has been posted elsewhere on the Internet and it does make sense to not get in quite so soon. No I will not post it here. Trust me or keep reading up on Sarah. Other Palinistas may say strategy is brilliant. I don’t know. But it is very reasonable. I guess if she wins the nomination it will be brilliant LOL. If not, blame the strategy.

“....we have our nominee......”

“We”... LOL What do you have in your pocket? There is no we and there is no nominee.

However, Palin is running, she will formally announce, soon, and I plan to vote for her and then watch her win the presidency.

President Palin... get used to the idea... you will like it.

Yep!!! Wild bear, woods, etc. :)

This beautiful graphic is by JoeProBono which he just now posted on the FReepathon thread! TIMELY!!!



DONATE TO FR


Whithering? Out in the weeds?

SHE'S BLOOMING, RESTED AND READY TO RUN AND SHE'S PICKED THE TIME FOR HER OWN ANNOUNCEMENT!

Pretty sure Perry would have trouble gathering votes even in TX.

No. I don’t know why. I like her and would vote for her (although I don’t think she is the Savior Of The Universe, which appears to be the opinion of many here), but for some reason, I don’t think she’ll run.

I also predict no, and I agree with the WSJ poster who said that......

“Palin would be splitting the vote because Bachman and Palin both appeal to the same social conservative demographic”.

Why would Palin be the vote splitter? Because Bachmann got into the race *early*?

Bachmann has no claim on voters and no guarantee that Palin supporters would support her were Palin not a consideration.

“I like Palin too, but the worshipful stuff among some has gone over the top.

And I’ve noticed that it’s turning some people off of her.”


Yeah, well not enough (people).

As a Palin supporter, just want to make clear that I do not in any way WORSHIP her. I admire, respect her leadership skills, and recognize that our country NEEDS her.

“Palin would be splitting the vote....”

LOL.... Isn’t that how it works? LOL

Palin has just as much right to run as Bachmann and a Palin can actually beat Obama.

But, if you’re worried about the vote split, convince Bachmann-Rollins to drop out of the race, now.
