Is Door Closed on Palin? (NO!)

Palin stumbles --either a gaffe while under intense pressure:

Is this sarcasm? Palin already has a plethora of gaffes to her credit..

[smoothsailing]

She's not running. The Palinite crowd on FR will be on suicide watch once they accept it

I'm sure that's true. It's strange too.

It's liberals that I expect to be all enraptured with their messianic rockstar candidates (Clinton,Obama,Castro,Chavez, etc.).It's strange when self-described conservatives carry on that way.

We don't usually particularly even like the people we vote for, we just figure they'll love the country, encourage prosperity, and stay out of our lives.

That's the way I see Palin, or Perry for that matter.

[GunRunner]

I don't see how Hutchison qualified as a weak candidate. She ran a lousy campaign, but was real popular among the more blue-blooded Repub types here in Texas. He beat her by 20 points, and that's with the Truther girl getting 20% of the vote.

Perry's the consummate politician, but his supposed electoral difficulties are being vastly overblown here by Palin supporters. I think he walks away with the nomination with or without Pain on the race.

[Grunthor]

Palin is not in. The others are. Have been for a while now. If she gets in, Perry gets in and the vote gets split so much that Romney wins the nod ala McCain, then yes I will blame her.

[wmfights]

If the state can arbitrarily take life, then the money the fiscals think they own, they don't. If they can abuse the premier right, then the right to ownership isn't going to give them even a brief thought.

Thank you, I have to remember this it's very persuasive.

[Grunthor]

And Perry as well.

[xzins]

Recent eminent domain cases prove that the system already thinks ownership is also at their convenience and not a matter of the rights of the individual.

I agree. I like Sarah, but she has no chance to be elected president now.

She could possibly get nominated, but no Dems. and very few independents would vote for her.

If any Republican can be elected, it will probably be Perry or Romney. Palin should take a cabinet appointment (and not quit if she can't take the liberal media and democommie hatred), and try to change her image in the eyes of independents. Then, perhaps she could run for higher office later.

[tdscpa]

The media will forget about Perry as soon as Palin walks into the room and declares her candidacy.

You got that right! The media will go on full 24/7/365 ridicule duty of Sarah. Nothing else will be printed or spoken or displayed until she announces her withdrawal from the race.
