I gotta believe there’s no way in hell Sarah Palin would agree to be anybody’s VP candidate, much less Newt’s.
Viable or not, I don’t care. I’m still going to vote for her via “write-in.” It’s the closest thing I can think of to kicking in the teeth of the GOP Establishment scumbags, which at this point is what I crave more than anything.
I was hoping Newt would be her VP or Chief of Staff...
I wonder if she is doing any private polling to see if she could come in late. She would have at least saved her family six months of primary fights.
My wife thinks the reason Sarah did not run is that the Glen Rice story could have only come from her sister’s roommates. If that “secret society of trust” has turned against her, they could say almost anything and it would keep the presses running 24/7 with every time Sarah had one beer too many.
I know I would like to place my college years under permanent seal.
Gingrich/Palin 2012
At this point, I’d welcome a “Draft Sarah” movement but I’d be even happier to see a “Draft DeMint” movement.
Sarah is a quitter.....period.
Tatge tells the publication, adding that he believes that Palin would likely need to “atone for quitting the job of governor.”
Palin and Cain possessed fire, but flamed out. There is no fire now. I can’t see much of a turnout with what is left, and I’m sure Obama is counting on it.
The instant I read that, I knew the author was a stupid pontificating 'Rat.
Sarah does not have to 'atone' for anything.
Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.
This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
She’s dead Jim
And getting more so by the moment. Apparently the current field finds the effort of running competent campaigns way too shackley.
1) Fundraising ability ten times greater than all the current candidates combined.
2) Voters from across a very broad spectrum that no other running mate could rally.
3) Boots-on-the-ground support, with a more vast and inter-connected network of grassroots supporters than all the current candidates combined.
While polls are often flawed and many are absolutely biased, I have seen a consistent trend that any particular GOP candidate VS Obama consistently loses, given a choice between "Any Republican" and Obama, the Republican wins handily. What this means is that the majority of voters, about 75% in the GOP in fact, are totally unhappy with the choices offered.
It is my considered opinion that an overwhelming majority of both Republican rank-and-file, and independent voters alike, are seeking someone to challenge Obama....other than the candidates offered.
Who does this leave?
As I recall, some four months ago, about the time of her triumphant tours and speeches, Sarah Palin stated that she "would run the most unconventional campaign ever." To this point, if she reverses course and comes in late to the fray, that would be the "most unconventional" move ever!
These endless and largely meaningless drivel-driven so called debates have done little more than pissed off many conservatives. By opting out in October, Sarah was insulated from this nonsense, and actually strengthened her desirability.
If, and this is a big IF, she decided to reenter any time before the Iowa caucus, she would likely show amazing support.
On the other hand, waiting to come in after the January mayhem, when deep divisions have made a clear frontrunner's unlikely, who better to fill the void?
Or even, with no leader in delegate count going into the convention, and with the prospect of internal war within the party, who better to be selected to heal the divisions and lead the GOP to victory?
Lets face it folks, we could well see the most unconventional campaign for nomination in the history of our nation!
But then, there is also another option........
