I think she is watching things shake out...either Bachmann or Perry get a commanding lead consistently then I'm not sure she would want to steal their potential for her own limelight..or ego.
She could endorse....
People keep talking Reagan 79.. Lord Maximus was robbed by Yankee Rinos..when he ran for POTUS 4 years earlier, had apparatus firmly in place...no one doubted he would run...I was there...my first support of a righty...a righty that as a hippie I had been culturally educated to hate...it was a given...he had been waiting for his day preparing to thwart the RINOs this time
Sarah just isn't giving the same signals nor has the same history...McCain's former folks are not her’s....they are moderates..her PACs which I donate to might help
it's just different...she will not control most state GOP leadership by a long shot...most are more centrist...sadly..so where are her guns...the Tea Party...maybe...but they like Bachmann too
I hope she does...I would sure prefer her over this morning's frontrunner Perry...but I don't know...I was convinced up till recently
even though zealots here will scold me otherwise I'm not sure waiting it out this season is so smart
Look...say Bachmann gets lucky and really moves ahead...will she want to come in by October and then duke it out with her...or even Perry whom she campaigned large for?
it helps when frontrunners fight against one another with more conflict of ideology...the line between these 3 is much less than say tween Reagan and Ford or Reagan and Bush I
I have never seen a GOP primary with 3-4 near the top of the potential heap that are within my general view as a right wing white southern boy..Gods, Guns, Babies, Guts...and then count the next tier
Bachmann, Palin...then Perry...then Cain and Santorum
Romney is the only real turd in the punch bowl
it's amazing....is it because I'm older now but does no one else see that we have a better shot at an FR acceptable candidate now than anytime since 1984...none are perfect but just sit back and gauge the tenor of our movement(s) that has given us this chance aside from Romney...beat Romney and any of these are the best since Magnus the Great
Well, some folks will call me a sell-out, if they wish, but come Nov. of 2012, I’m gonna vote for the Republican nominee, no matter WHO it is. I don’t think this country can survive another four years of Obama.
My gut tells me none of the other candidates you mention are as trustworthy as Palin. Not even close.
Trustworthiness is the most important quality and the rarest. Perry and Bachmann can talk about conservative principles on the campaign trail till they’re blue in the face.
But only Palin has proven over and over she will do the right thing even at great personal risk.
