I'm not sure I have a flame retardant suit thick enough for this one, but I though it was an interesting perspective and worth discussing.

I will never forgive Tokyo Rove for what he did to O’Donnell’s campaign.

I think way too many enjoy their hobby of attempting to look into the mind of Sarah and determining exactly what her motives are. They suffer from obsession.

No worth a discussion.

It’s stupid. It would take a long article to refute this, but I’ll just point out that Carly Fiorina was probably the most conservative candidate with a chance to be elected, but that Mike Castle was a corrupt, hard-left fake Republican who was worse than the Democrat.

And that Christine O’Donnell might possibly have won if she had not been constantly undermined by Karl Rove and the Republican establishment, as well as the Delaware Republican party. Plus an establishment hack who was working for her, who went public with that witchcraft ad that killed her, even though she told him NOT TO DO IT.

Just the same way that the hacks working for McCain undermined Palin and even their supposed boss. The corruption runs deep. At least Fiorina was an outsider with some chance of improving things.

In her latest pro-establishment move, Palin has issued a non-endorsement endorsement of Orrin Hatch in Utah.

Mark Levin gave him a whole-hearted endorsement.

Consider: Palin’s first break with grassroots/TEA Party orthodoxy came during the 2010 elections, when she endorsed establishment candidates Carly Fiorina and Kelly Ayotte over more conservative challengers Chuck Devore and Ovide Lamontagne.

Maybe she likes to endorse females. The mama grizzly syndrome.

towards the will of the Republican Establishment.

Kind of a stpuid argument considering Sarah Palin was the VP candidate to John McCain.

Are you suggesting that identity politics are more important to Sarah than supporting the most conservative person in the race? Say it isn't so!

I was going to stop reading right there. I like Sarah but....she eats salmon and I hate fish so I cannot support her mentality going on here. They prefer peas and sharing them with others.

IIRC Sarah never said she’d ONLY support ‘Tea Party Candidates’. I believe she said she’d support those who shared her common sense conservatism when she could, but would also put her support behind those who may not be as doctrinaire, but who shared her views in general, and who also could be elected.

You are clearly mistaking her admonition that we should support "Hatch's call for balanced budget reform" for "support for Hatch." I believe that once she announces her candidacy (very shortly, within a month) she'll openly back Hatch's TEA Party opponent. Rebecca Mansour has actually hinted at this.

And I don't believe that any true supporter of Governor Palin's would misinterpret the TEA leaves on this as you just have. However, credit where it's due, you have come up with an original and truly sub-rosa way to attack her... much to the delight, I am sure, of the same GOP Establishment you purport to openly denigrate.

How very odd, eh?

Apparently Sarah Palin isn't the only clever Alaskan trying to shape this race.

“I am not a Sarah Palin hater. As an Alaska native” classic fist words of a “Concern Troll”!

There will be a fine line to walk should she announce that she is running. Carefully positioning herself to cause the establishment to not completely dismiss or demean her yet maintain the enthusiastic support of all of the TEA folks. By giving someone like Hatch feigned support she disarms the GOP hacks and causes the moderates to “take a look”.

“...but I though it was an interesting perspective and worth discussing.”

There was so much spin and just plain misinformation in it, that it isn’t even worth discussing.

If you like to read 'recycled garbage' then feast yourself with these 'highly politically astute' observations (in light of the claim that she's gone "establishment")...

- "Palin has made absolutely no moves that are consistent with a candidate that is actually preparing to run for the presidency"

-"She has hired no field staff, has put no organization on the ground in IA, NH, or SC, has not met with the big ticket donors that could kick off a campaign"

-"and hasn’t had meetings with any of the state and county-level power brokers in these states to discuss their willingness to help her potential candidacy."

- "All of the evidence thus far points inescapably to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is not running for President"

Evidently, he's begging you to 'smoke' that stuff he's been smoking!
