Oooooooo yea, they’re starting to panic.

[excopconservative]

it is also pretty scary. A continually weak economy—which is very possible—could actually make her President less than three years from now.

Dems, be very afraid!

If Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012, I have a difficult time imagining someone else winning the Republican nomination.

Last time, the fix was in for McCain. Same story for Dole. Seems like the oldest dog gets the bone.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Compared to Obama, Sarah would be a dream-come-true!

Hell, Jimmy Carter would be a breath of fresh air compared to our Satan's Spawn-in-Chief!

Even a Biden Presidency would be an "effin' big deal!"...or Kermit the Frog!

Anybody...somebody...please, help!!!

If Sarah Palin runs for President,...

I know she's been a governor and an effective one at that, however, to be president?

Has she ever organized a community or opened the Red sea?

I don't want her to run but that is my opinion....she'll be crucified....but I'll send her money and support her....

but I don't think she has a chance and frankly,not sure she is the answer...

Anyone who can draw 10,000 people to a rally in Minnesota--in early 2010, no less-- is formidable.

Not only that, but as Doug Glow of the Minnesota Post pointed out in his article today:

"How do you get your mind around something like this rally that happened right in the middle of the state's most liberal congressional district?"

The libs are sweating.

The only thing I am not happy about right now is how she is polling head to head against 0bama nationally. But hey, we have another 3 years to go to the elections, and 0bozo’s approval ratings have every chance of continuing to sink.
That CNN poll from last week did have 0bama running even with any generic Republican candidate, and had 54% of voters saying 0bama would lose in 2012, with only 44% saying he'll win.

SARAH RULES

[Arguendo]

I really wish she’d stuck around and proved herself governing Alaska, since I haven’t seen much evidence indicating she’d be effective at leading the party and the government.

Sure, she’s clearly charismatic, but that alone is not enough—it takes completely different skills to govern effectively once elected, and especially to deal with Congress (where even a minority can stop many proposals). Obama’s proved himself good at the former, but the last 14 months show how one can nonetheless be a complete failure at the latter.

I just don’t think Palin has demonstrated she has what it takes to be president. She resigned in Alaska when things got (probably unfairly) tough, but as a president she would face all sorts of challenges, many of them anything but fair.

On the other hand, if she doesn’t want to be president she made a great decision, since her lifestyle is probably vastly improved. And as far as I’ve seen, she hasn’t indicated that she plans to run in 2012.

[FL911]

One thing is certain, if she decides to run it will be for the right reasons - not some personal journey of discovery or to settle collective salvation.

[FlyingEagle]

Michelle Bachmann is a star too

[higgmeister]

How about if Michele Bachmann moves ahead in the primaries?

The light bulbs are switching on for the libs.

1. Huckabee is unlikely to run, and his evangelical / born again base (virtually all Huckabee voters in 2008 were evangelicals) is a lot closer to Sarah Palin than they are to Mitt Romney. So, Palin will likely start ahead in national polls among declared candidates.

I DISAGREE WITH THE IDEA that Huck would get more evangelical/born again voters than Sarah. Speaking as one, I am with Sarah.

And for the Gaffe remark, that somehow Sarah has made gaffes? I have not seen any!

[Little Ray]

Yes.
Sarah Palin gets lots of press for some of the same reasons Obama did - He’s a black, she’s a woman. This makes them “exotic” in the presidential arena.
Personally, I don’t think she will get the nomination, which makes me kinda sad. I’d like Sarah Palin for president. Unfortunately, I think we’ll get another media-selected RINO like McCain. Maybe Romney.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"Is there anyway that Sarah Palin isn't the Republican nominee in 2012?"

Yes, she chooses not to run.
