Good Points. She did say she would be very unconventional. Can she miss any of the primaries? Is there a deadline to throw your hat in race?
I know this is off topic, but that never stopped me yet, so...
Dancing With The Stars is looking for another celebrity that would cause as much controversy (increase revenues for the show) as Bristol Palin.
They wanted Todd Palin next. I suggest they go for Michelle Obama. Certainly she would be ‘popular’. We all know (have been told) she is one of the world’s leading influential women. Just think of the wonderful costumes she would wear.
I’m still not sure if I believe anything Nicole Wallace says, she is what she is - a political operative who gets paid for saying whatever needs to be said at the moment.
But, her phrase “one of the shrewdest political figures in our country” is quite fascinating, because if true, Sarah Palin is completely “homeschooled” in the art of politics. Whatever she has learned has been at her own hand, from Wasilla City Council on forward to the 2008 VP race, where she got to see the likes of Ms. Wallace in action. Now she’s seen Mr. Rove and other would-be “advisors” in action.
So isn’t it intersting that a self-taught newbie to national politics, can rise to the leve of “one of the shrewdest” in a matter of 2 years? Either this doesn’t say much for the hired operatives, or it says a lot about Sarah Palin.
My money is on the latter.
Test - please ignore.
Thanks for posting the article.
The only other candidates the Republicans have are members of the good ole’ boy insiders club.
First she has to win the GOP primary and then we’ll see if she knows what she’s doing.
That will be a really exciting time.
Run Sarah!
That Sarah Palin makes anything she wears look good.
Palin is just reversing the usual campaign structure. Used to be fundraising then name recognition. She’s got name recognition out the ying-yang. She’s better known than Newt Gingrich . . .
When she announces money pours in.
Then it’s just winning the nomination, defining the opponent, defining the issues and agenda and we’ve got President Palin.
As well as other republican hopefuls.. bleeding those campaign coffers..
She was a reporter I believe, so Palin understands communications and news. Possibly a better background than Hollywood for modern politics, although actors certainly learn self-control and putting forward an image. Reagan . . . John Paul II wanted to be an actor and did stage plays as well.
No, Sarah started running on July 3, 2009 when she resigned as Governor of Alaska. Yes, the ethics onslaught was the prod but this was an absolutely necessary move if she was to pursue the Presidency. How else could she do all the travel in the lower 48 without facing claims of some merit that she was neglecting her duties? To opine on national issues and write the books, make the endorsements, yada, yada, yada. Heck, even the time zone would have been a challenge.
It was a necessary move, a brilliant move, and she hasn't looked back since.
Because whoever the TpCaucus picks as President to be, WILL BE the next President.. Better for her to keep herself and her family out of the toxic mix.. AND let the democrats THINK she is running.. or will run..
FrankR - your photochops are the BEST! I just had to pass along the DWTS one that came in today’s email to see how badly I’d get beat up over it ;-)
Keep ‘em coming - your efforts are appreciated!
Now there’s a neat graphic.
