Sarah will run only if called.

So entire websites and thousands of fanatical fans dedicated to Palin and begging her to run isn't being "called" enough?

Palin is not running for President. Saying she would do "whatever I could to help" does not mean she wants to be a candidate coming out of a brokered convention. And why would people want to draft a candidate who didn't want to be bothered with fighting through the primaries and making his/her case anyway? She's not running, let it go.

It would be easier to nominate a mutually agreeable outside candidate in that circumstance so as not to favor or alienate one state's nominated choice over another.

You're delusional.

The Republican primary process has had nothing to do with anybody "making their case."

It's been all about state-controlled media unleashing lies and smears against any Republican candidate that wasn't Myth.

The goal is to win, not satisfy your voyeuristic compulsions.

Because anybody who wants power that badly should be automatically barred from having any power. Obama and Romney have a bad case of Barney Fife-itis.

Then you are totally clueless on what Sarah has been saying for so long! Her message repeatly in speeches and interviews and even her book about leadership has been “being the reluctant servant” ala George Washington style. She said that a people shouldn’t be going around prostituting themselves on the alter of running for one office for years plus that she isn’t wired to scream to people to “pick me, pick me over here” attitude is and for someone to have a truly servants heart for the people, they have to be a reluctant candidate who serves because they are called to do their duty.

Her “ willing to offer themselves up in the name of service to their country” in this interview is right out of her ‘servants heart’ message that she has repeated over and over again — to many it means that she will offer herself if called and I believe that we are heading towards such a scenerio.

Because the "process" is a travesty with a predetermined outcome.

I’m bookmarking your reply. If brokered, she will want a call.

Fighting through the primaries is not an end in itself. Please give reflect on this.
