Former George W. Bush aide Ari Fleischer says Sarah Palin's got no chance in 2012
The Politico ^ | March 16, 2011 | Juana Summers

Ari Fleischer says there's no "way, shape or form" Sarah Palin can lock the Republican nomination.

"I cannot see any way, shape or form that she can win the Republican primary," Fleischer, the former press secretary to President George W. Bush, said as reported by the Idaho Mountain Express.

Fleischer, who was in Ketchum, Idaho to speak as part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts' Lecture Series, said he'd never seen such a wide open Republican field, but that the former Alaska governor was not among the serious contenders....

"At least not if Karl, me, Jeb's people, George Will, Chuck Krauthammer, the MSM, the RNC and the Romney team have anything to say about it."

She especially has no chance with all that support she has managed to build. Not a chance.

Really? There is someone out there who wants Ari Fleischer’s opinion about anything, let alone Sarah Palin?

Wow, they're really getting scared if they bother to make such a comment.

Yep, no chance when Obama refuses to approve permits for deep water drilling in the Gulf. Americans love $5.00 a gallon gas.
No chance...they want more of this

A lot of people are afraid of her because she is a Christian. As a Jew, I greatly favor having a Christian President over the current muslim in chief.

No one, absolutely no one on the Republican side fills a hall like she does and the MSM hangs on every flipping word of hers like NO OTHER REPUBLICAN. And this AH is going to tell me she isn’t a serious candidate.

Yawn. Another member of the Bush wing of the GOP (formerly known as the Rockefeller wing of the GOP) speaks out against Sarah Palin.

Do these guys ever attack Obama and the Democrats?

The establishment is loading up against Sarah, but I don't hear them offer any real solid candidate.

They are employed by wealthy egomaniacs that want and need stroked in their fruitless quest to be President {and are willing to have some donors pay for it}.

I've said it many times, I don't know if Sarah will run, if she does, she has my total support, if she doesn't, I'll go with the most conservative in the hunt.

Maybe not, but watching her stir things up the way only she can will be soooooooo much fun. :)

And these RINOS have made the correct decisions how many times? How well did GW secure our borders?

We finally have a Conservative leader, with more backbone than the past 4 RINO candidates combined - and “she doesn’t have a chance”?

How about we let the voters decide. I don’t think there will be that many RINO’s left in the system after the next election.

There’s many a solid, good reason I’d like for Palin to win the nomination, but a newer, additional one is for the sake of stuffing it down the throats of the GOP Establishment and watching these loathesome, elitist bastards choke to death on it.

He is probably correct, Palin is way too controversial in the eyes of most people to be a viable candidate. Most Republican primary voters will go with someone “safe and non-threatening”. I foresee another Bob Dole in the making, some RINO who’s turn it is to be the nominee and is a “moderate” that will attract the “center”. Maybe it’s Mitt Romney’s turn this next time or Jeb Bush?

That being said it may be that a third party will be on the rise for this next election to act as a spoiler, or if things really go down hill here in the US maybe even win. Is there another Ross Perot out there to lead the tea party to another victory for O?

Our dog has informed me that she does not plan to vote for Sarah Palin for President. She’s very envious of Sarah’s ability to walk gracefully in high heels.
