Report: Sarah Palin Reconsidering Run For Presidency
Politicons ^ | 11-2-2011 | Henry D'Andrea

Posted on 11/04/2011 1:53:33 PM PDT by TitansAFC

Take with a HUGE grain of salt… Huge.

Conservative talk show host, Dr Gina Louden, says that she has “information from a reliable source,” that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is reconsidering a run for the White House in 2012. Sarah Palin announced on October 5, that she would not be running in 2012 and that she would not run third party.

With the recent fire storm that has hit Herman Cain about sexual harassment charges and with Romney being a complete RINO, a Palin entrance would be pretty awesome right now.

You can listen to audio of Dr. Gina Louden talking about this “reliable” news she received here.

Many filing deadlines have passed. However, Iowa has not. New Hampshire has, but I don’t believe she could win NH. I also believe that South Carolina has passed. Palin needs South Carolina. Iowa is wide-open.

I want to caution you that reconsidering doesn’t mean that Palin will change her mind and actually run.

If you want my two cents, I don’t think she’ll run.

I believe that this could be plausible, but also complex.

I suspect that she believed that Cain would have relatively smooth sailing, and may be wavering due the the incredible vicious attack that Wilson has invoked on him.

Palin’s true reason for stepping aside may soon see the light of day; I hope it doesn’t Perot her.

You and me both Brother (Sister), See my Tagline.

Oh, and to the PDS'ers out there who say "WELL A THRID PARTY WILL GARUNTEE OBAMA'S RECLECTION!", I would like to turn your attention to The Presidential Election of 1860 and Remember the Republican Party was born AS a third party to the Wimpy Whigs, and If the Republicans are stupid enough to nominate Romney (again see the tagline) than it will be time to replace the Republicans with a party that will actually listen and do what its constituents want.

The thinnest of tissue-thin rumors, and hit-bait for blogs.

But I still support Palin completely, no matter which direction she takes. She’s the best thing to have come out of the GOP in decades, and has exactly the right message for the times. Without her, the GOP is looking more and more seedy as each day passes. And indeed, does a day pass without Karl Rove popping up on Fox to push Romney?

Too late Sarah, the Cain Train has already left the station.

Allahpundit tried to start this rumor several days ago. He seems to be the source of all this. However, he isn’t to be trusted. He absolutely hates Palin and most likely wanted to milk his anti-Palin rants a few more times.

Either way, she said No and has already missed several important filing deadlines.

>> “She’s just too polarizing.” <<

.
Polarizing is the one thing Palin is definitely not.

Her support has always come from across the spectrum in every one of her races. That was the facet that caused the Mediots to attack her so viciously; she endangered their constituency deeply.

The scary sucking sound may be about to return to GOP politics.

I see quotes like this all the time, but it makes no sense to me.

The only way to win the GOP nomination is to get the most votes in the primaries.

The nominee is always the person who got the most votes from the constituents in the Republican primaries. There is not some super secret power committee who picks the nominee. The party rank and file do!

Of course, that may spur some to form a third party, but there's no reason to believe that the majority of the party they split from will follow, since they got the nominee they voted for!

My only worry with Mitty is can Dems put him in via crossover voting, knowing that it will incite a 3rd party run and a likely Clintonian plurality win for Obama.

Does a day pass without Rove popping up on Sean Hannity’s radio or TV show to do the same?

I’m sick of Karl Rove.

This is just to keep the hopes up of all the Palinphils out there. The next rumor will be ‘the movement to draft her at the Republican convention’. Then the write in ballots. Then the 2016 campaign.

There may be some truth to that.

Let’s let the whole gang decide.

If she is so polarizing, how can she help the GOP nominee? It’s a contradiction, one that the media whores love to push on us. It’s the Goebbels “Big Lie” all over again.

Sometimes, I wish people would stop and think about what they are saying/posting.

Cain accuser attorney: Client sees ‘no value’ in revisiting issue

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2802657/posts

This is Cain winning. Complete abject surrender to Cain by the smear bots. They were offered the chance to defend their accusations in the open and the smearbots ran.

Now the question remains, who shopped the smear around to Politico? I suspect Romney and Rove are the authors. Both of the them have a history of these sort of sleazy political tactics

I bet she’ll announce on Election Day . . . at Independence Hall . . . wearing a Statue of Liberty costume! Yeah, that’s the ticket. Let the countdown begin.

Well, she could take some of the heat off of Cain. ???

LOL! Ain't that the truth! Sarah Palin her kids are the communists' favorite punching bag. Communists, especially those living in this country, hate Americans.
