I wouldn’t think the Washington Compost would want to run articles about crony capitalism. Too close to home I would say. Sort of like the pot calling the kettle half-black
No, I meant it the other way around. Palin will pick somebody that will have the best chance to win the nomination. And Romney does not have any chance to win, unless Perry implodes and Palin fumbles around.
What was this author partaking of when they wrote this piece? Why the heck would Romney send her flowers? If anybody, the finger was pointed at HIM!!!
And after the display today with Obama/Biden/et al at the various union Labor Day shows, this country won't last 4 more years under Obama.
I am a Perry supporter. I admire Palin very much but I don’t often fare too well in guessing. It is beginning to annoy me. I hope Palin comes out soon in support of Perry. I think Palin would be an awesome leader in Arizona politics. I like Michelle Bachman but I can’t seem to catch that fire. Boy, she has been an achiever in her brief lifetime. There is a place for her. I love Marco Rubio. I would like to see a Perry/Palin ticket or a Perry/Rubio ticket. Romney’s time has passed. Huntsman who?

Endlessly teasing her decision on whether to get in the race guarantees she gets the spotlight whenever she makes a public appearance. It seems to be effective in getting media attention, but I think most Republicans have long since grown tired of it. Palin is not helping herself any at this point. I think it is why her negatives continue climbing and even most conservatives and Tea Party folks don't want her to run.

even as a fan - she is really starting to annoy the he’ll out me. She needs to either declare or sit it out until a nominee is picked and get behind that person.
If Sarah doesn’t run, I’ll eat my hat. If she DOES run, there’s a good chance they’ll try to kill her.
I don’t blame her for thinking it all over VERY carefully.
ALL SIDES will want her gone, not just Hoffa...
I would guess she'll announce some time in September, and she'll have a ton of grass roots support.
If she's the nominee, she'll win. If Romney's the nominee, we get (at least) 4 more years of Obama. If Perry's the nominee, it's a coin toss who will win the general.
I'm warming to Perry as a second choice, but I'm pretty sure that the Obama team wants to run against George W. Bush again, and Rick W. Perry would be a huge gift to them.
If you want to take that chance, that's your choice. I don't like the odds with Perry. Too soon after George W. Bush, and Bush is still way to unpopular and hated by the left. Perry will mobilize Democrats to defeat him more than most "Republican Strategists" are saying right now. Of course, the Party Propaganda Ministry (or is it the Ruling Class Propaganda Ministry) is pushing Perry right now because Palin and the TEA party scare them.
I'll stick with my advice, Read my lips, no new Texans! (and as a resident of Florida, please, please, no new Bush's either).
Perry is my second choice...
He’s a little too slick a politician for my trust, but ABO, for sure...
I say let em all make their cases and let’s go!
she’s on the way back to Alaska now...
I think...
to announce at home like she should. (kind of fits her style, to me)
You don't want a fenced/secured border, you're for in-state tuition for illegal aliens?
Because I am not a Palin supporter does not mean I want her gone anywhere but back to Alaska or Arizona (where she is rumored to have bought a house).
I hope and pray for the best for her and her family - personally. And, I do not believe anyone on our side wishes her ill at all. I do think a lot of people on our side, like me, think she is not the best candidate for 2012 to beat Obama. We can disagree. But, to say we want her gone is beyond reasonable disagreement.
So she would sit on the sidelines and pick the winner near the end? This would mean she could not hope to get elected until at least the 2028 cycle. (A republican win with two terms, then the vice president would be the favored candidate in the 2016 primary). I would say that if she had any aspirations, she would act this year.
I am for a secured border. Whether it is a fenced border, I have not studied that particular issue very much at all.
As for in-state tuition for illegals, if I were a Texas resident, I would have been vehemently opposed to it, just was I was when I was in CA and such a policy was being proposed.
If Perry proposes nation-wide policy for in-state tuition for illegals, I would be the first to fight against him.
Of course, I am for legal immigration. I actally wish we as a country better assimilate legal immigrants and turn them into “right” thinking people. I am a RARE RARE species. I hate for it to be true for long.
I would welcome her to the race. In fact, I have been impatient for her to get into the race.
Of course, I will still support Perry in that scenario.
I don’t mean you, or the people, and certainly didn’t SAY you.
What I was referring to is the entrenched power brokers she came right out and declared herself an enemy against.
I don’t think these “big boys” will go easily or quietly, but I agree with her they HAVE to go.
Between them and God knows the liberal nut cases who have threatened her, THAT’S who I meant by all sides.
I personally don’t think the entrenched power brokers are any more on our side than Obama. After all, they put him in!
Sorry I wasn’t more clear, but I DO mean what I said...
“I’m starting to think she’s running for V.P.”
My exact thoughts, also.
She has played this ‘will she, won’t she’ game too far.
