Sarah and Col Allen West from FL a swing state which is vital for us to win and he can go after bozo the clown in all the 57 states.

Or Sarah and the NM Gov, another good conservative

She seems to be saying that the long knives that prompted her not to run were in her party. Come to think of it, she was correct.

By the way, we want a deadlocked convention, not a brokered one. A brokered convention would lead to the GOP-E choosing the candidate, either Romney or Bush.

I guarantee a brokered convention will leave conservatives out in the cold. The GOP power brokers mouths are watering over the prospect.

I think Sarah was mostly inplying that she will actually endorse a candidate on an official level if and when a brokered convention likely happens.

There is a very strong possibility of that happening, considering the mess that this primary season has become.

I don't think the MSM and GOPe have any bullets left to throw a wrench in the works now... Guess Karl miscalculated this one.

“‘All Bets Are Off’ in Event of Brokered GOP Convention”

The title is deceptive.

One would assume by the title that she would run for President in the event of a brokered convention.

But that’s not what she said.

“Well, for one, I think that it could get to that…if it had to be…closed up today, the whole nominating process, then we would be looking at a brokered convention,” Palin said. “Nobody is quite there yet, so I think that months from now, if that is the case, all bets are off as to who it will be, willing to offer up themselves up in their name in service to their country. I would do whatever I could to help.”

I’n not impressed. A brokered convention? Really???

If we want to play along with this fantasy, then we need to add in the possibility that good ol’ Jeb could make a strong stand too.

And then what about the other “real” candidates like Bachmann and Perry?

As for Palin... she is way down the list of viable possibilities.

Sarah Palin was the first guest on the first episode of Follow the Money, so it seemed natural for Eric Bolling to bring Palin back for his final show. In an extensive interview that began with Bolling asking Palin to explain how her life has changed since becoming Sen. John McCain‘s running mate and culminated with Palin noting that “all bets are off” as to who can be nominated in a brokered convention — something she considers a real possibility.

Interesting, I didn't know this was possible.She's ready to ride to the rescue should we need her!

The GOP does NOT WANT Sarah.

She scares the heck outta them.

But I sure would be fun. She would hand the Kenyen his arse for sure.

I love Sarah Palin and her views match up so well with mine. That said, I hate to think what a presidency would do to her two youngest children. A life in Alaska with relative freedom and parents who have time to spend time with them is so SO much better for them than a four-eight year stint in Washington.

Paul Ryan didn’t enter the race this time because he wanted his girls to be raised in Wisconsin in relative peace. The nation sure could use his leadership now too, but he has put his family first.

I was a big Sarah supporter, and up until her decision not to run, I thought she was a strategic and media-manipulating genius.

Since that time, I’ve reassessed her behavior. She now seems a bit flighty and self-serving, I’m afraid.

Palin: “she ”would do whatever [she] could to help,”

I don’t know what that means. Who or what will she help? As much as I would like too, I’m not reading her comment as her indicating she will enter the race, should there be a brokered deal. What am I missing?
