Iowa was in January & New Hampshire was in February.
Sarah is the most vetter candidate in history. Perry’s vetting has not yet begun... Your reasoning is borderline youknowwhat.
If she would take a VP offer, then IMO, it would be self admitting she was never ready for prime time at the # 1 pole.
1) There's likely ~$200M in first installment checks waiting eagerly to be mailed within the first month following her announcement;
2) Organize4Palin is already in place and chomping at the bit to go to war with the marxist bastards without the help of the typical spineless RINO party hacks (like Reed);
3) Anyone who maintains that Sarah's message isn't about conservative values and positions is either willfully blind/deaf or an outright LIAR.
FU Reed !
Sissies like YOU thought McLame was a good idea !
I will defer to your tagline.
Weird, I can remember a huge fight over the different states leapfrogging over each other trying to be first a few years back.
Oddly enough the 1980 primary schedule is only a few weeks (maybe a month) later than this years.
Iowa caucus 1/21/80
New Hampshire Primary 2/26/80

2008 was kind of an anomaly where everyone got in a year before the first caucus.
The funny thing is Organize for Palin is already organized down to the Congressional district level.
No one else has anything like that yet, except maybe Ron Paul.
Pawlenty went with the organizing at the statewide level (top down) and he’s already gone. Of course his top down structure is still there.
Please refer to post #48, this thread.
Okay, that was thoroughly unimpressive.
And you are so wrong about that.
Stop it you PDS hater! Sarah is no dummy and is studying these metrics also. She does not strike me a a woman who is big on Pyrrhic victories, she wants to run and win. PalinBots love to ignore reality, they live in the land of the FR echo chamber where most of us think alike sans a few minor policy differences. This has been our point all along, we like Sarah Palin but our like does not cloud our evaluation of reality. I personally think she won't make out of the primaries with the nomination so this point is moot and then we can marvel at the 20% of PalinBot Freepers screaming "Conspiracy" and "Third Party.".
Don't equate vicious with tough.
The Japs and Nazis were vicious and tough.
We were plain hell of a lot tougher.
I extend an invitation to all Sarah Palin fans living in perpetual anticipation - in constant angst - to get behind Rick Perry.
Rick Perry will be top of the GOP ticket and he will (with great joy and fun for him and for us) clean Obama clock and pack state houses and the Congress with large GOP majorities.
It’s a very good feeling and you are welcome and encouraged to come on board.
A huge weight was lifted when I stepped away and reassessed my devotion to Sarah. I admire her spunk but now it’s Reality Heights time — sanity test time.
This isn’t about her, this is about conservative ascendancy and getting that guy who is destroying our lives, the country and the world shown the exit.
We, with Rick Perry, will be doing that in 2012. It’s great getting behind the guy who is already taking it to Obama and driving the Left insane with his surging poll numbers and fast-track candidacy.
Come on over and join in the fun.
I agree, more RINOs would be good and it doesn’t help that we’ve got Perry posing as a conservative for the race.
But it will shake out pretty quickly to one RINO vs. one conservative, and IMO Palin is the strongest conservative we could have in that matchup (likely against Romney).
She didn’t play the Ames game. If anything, Palin supporters were backing Paul just for the hope of beating—though Bachmann’s fading just fine even after having won Ames.
I'm with you. I'd like her to run for Senate, not president.
I could see her running to replace Kyl's Senate seat.
Well, thank you for the invite - whatever happens it's bound to be a spirited primary!
