It looks like Sarah Palin is planning to attend the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August — or is at least planning to be in the general vicinity.
Financial disclosures from Palin’s political action committee, Sarah PAC, show a $4,500 deposit has been placed at the Channelside Bay Mall in downtown Tampa–walking distance from the Tampa Bay Times Forum, the site of the 2012 Republican National Convention......"

It would be the answer to my prayers if Sarah came in and rescued us from Romney before that dumb ba$tard hands Obama another four years in the White House.
One last pothole on a well-paved road by the GOP_e for Romney. Go for it, Sarah.
Good news.
Oh may it be so!

...PLEASE!!!
This could be that she is just hedging her bets. Romney could have it all locked up by the time of the convention, but something could happen. This does indicate she is not pursuing a third party bid.
Of course Palin will be at the convention. She is ABO and will have a prime time speaking slot.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Before she dropped out, around the time she was making that bus tour, I believed she said that she would PREFER to run as a Republican. But she left a third party bid open.
If, as looks increasingly probable, Romney gets the nod, then the GOP is, frankly, defunct, and third party will be the only choice. Or, to use a more optimistic term for it, a new second party will be the only choice.
I'll vote against O whatever happens. But I agree, if Romney is the best this party has to offer, I'm in the wrong party.
I've said several times, if Romney is the nominee and loses to O, the party breaks. And if he wins, it may break anyway.
Either way, I personally am in the wrong party and plan to do something about it.
The convention is in August. That is too late for a third party bid. If Romney gets the nomination and loses then a third party is definitely possible unless a revolution happens first.
First, Palin never dropped out. She was never a candidate, Fox News had discussions with her through the summer and never felt she would be a candidate, and ultimately Sarah declined to run.
But she left a third party bid open.
No she didn't. She was absolutely clear that there is no consideration of a 3rd party - at least not for this election cycle. She has said that it would guarantee Obama's re-election.
Palin is ABO and will support and campaign for Willard - just like Santorum, Newt, Perry, Cain, etc, etc, will.
ABO???
ABO = Anybody But Obama
Can I hope for a brokered convention with Palin and Gingrich ,or Gingrich and Palin ?
Has anyone seen her speaking fees? I’d like to see her if the price isn’t too high.
Exactly. She will put butts in the seats, and will make the teevee ratings soar when she speaks. The rest of the convention will be a yawner.
Also, it is not likely that she has just now made her reservations. I read that every single hotel room in the area has been booked that week for months now.
I “heart” Sarah Palin. I liked the 9-9-9 plan. I was cheering for Santorum, all the while knowing he didn’t have a chance, but this campaign did WONDERS for his political stock. He will be back.
But face it, Romney’s the guy.
