Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation.
"I'm mystified," Rove said about reaction to his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future."
"Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in the public eye like she did on CNN, at the Iowa State fair a short number of days ago. she said 'I haven't made a decision.'"
"I'm just speculating that more likely than not she is going to be a candidate."
"Now I said 'I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it' because it is such a close thing and I am not privy to her thought-making process. But it is sign of enormous thin-skin that if we speculate about her, she gets upset. And I suspect if we didn't speculate about her, she would be upset and getting ways to get us to speculate about her."

I can’t leave. Murdoch is paying me to post here.
Wah!
Wah!!!
Aren’t you the poster how just posted to Jim Robinson because somebody was critical of Sarah Palin? I guess the only GOP candidates who can be bashed is everyone of them not named Sarah Palin. Whoops, difference is, Palin hasn’t even announced if she’s running.
Wah!!, indeed.
Wah!!!!!

I’ve already put a couple notorious thumpers on notice that if they’ve not already been zotted before hand, the day she announces and they’re continuing to trash her, they get the zot. Guaranfreepingteed!

I shook Sarah Palin’s hand as well, and I’d do it again.
What’s your glitch?
A lying troll complaining about attacks?
LOL!
Tell your wife to read my tag.

Bemoan?
I laugh at them.
They’ve made her a guaranteed winner in the election, by lowering the bar.
Tell your wife to read my tag.
Was it tiresome for you when Perry, until only recently, didn't let people know if he was running? Is it tiresome that Paul Ryan won't say for certain if he's running?
I don't agree with this insistence that Palin has to announce to fit others' timetables. Or that she has to announce because, supposedly, that's how it's always been done (even though candidates in the past have announced in September). It's ridiculous and beyond petty. She'll announce when she announces. There's no holy writ that says, "Thou must announce in July," and frankly, I love that she does things differently.
I realize I don't understand this thread, coming on late and all......
Can you explain what you mean by this? It makes no sense.
>> “ It makes no sense.” <<

Nothing carling posts ever makes sense.
Anything that might appeart to make sense is purely accidental, and should be ignored.
Carling is here to deflect Palin’s domination of this election cycle, and to do as much damage as possible to FreeRepublic, and its image, due to Jim’s vocal support of Palin.
They definitely fear Palin’s inevitable victory, because it will undo 100 years of intense evil and marxist deviance in American government.
They know that we have been awakened, as a people, and that we are determined to see this through.
That is why there are so many nonsense candidates, like Perry, Bachmann, and numerous other inexperienced congress critters declaring their candidacy early, that in a normal election would not even waste their time and money. Normally, Romney would have been enough.
Carling is just one idiot cog in a huge and growing idiot machine installed to prevent the taking back of American government.
Yeah, the PDS’ers think that it’s a Palin-rrun conspiracy and that we’re all on SarahPAC’s payroll. Funny that I didn’t see my name mentioned anywhere in SarahPAC’s regular FEC filings, except as a donor.
Are you really that stupid or were you posting drunk and cranky?
No, the real story here is Rupert Murdoch paying pollsters like Scott Rasmussen to offer phony polls downplaying Sarah Palin’s chances.
editor-surveyor, you should call Geraldo and crack into this vault!
Cuckoo, cuckoo
It’s my opinion that Palin and her PAC are allowing her supporters to smear and slime other GOP candidates by subtly leaking things about Bachman and others. There are plenty of examples of it in this thread. I also found it hypocritical for Palin to call for non-establishment GOP candidates for 2012 when she actively campaigned for John McLame in 2010.
That said, I think Palin is a great woman and and a better leader than McLame or Obama. I just think she is damaged goods in terms of the general electorate for a variety of reasons.
A very strange opinion indeed, one that has zero evidence for it. Are you really sure you want to go there?
Sounds pretty tin foil hattish to me........
Not knowingly allowing it, but her silence and her evasiveness only serves to divide the conservative base at this point.
Thank you for disagreeing with me in a courteous manner, though, and I’m certainly not anti-Palin, and will support either her or Bachmann if she does enter the race. With that, I’m out of this thread. There are more pressing topics to be discussed on FR!
