She is already the shadow president. It will just be made official in November 2012.

When Gov. Palin takes a week or two off, she times it to coincide with when all these year end polls come out. She hasn’t said a word or done anything this week, yet she’s back in the blogs and making news. Is she the most brilliant PR person or what? I think the reason Karl Rove is cool on her is that he’s jealous of her skills.

2010 Honorable Mention to Rob Ford, new Mayor of Toronto.

[Jeff Head]

"Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it. People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix. We don't need to fundamentally transform America. We need to restore America." Sarah Palin

The woman the left, the DNC, the MSM, and the RINOs all love to hate...but can never bring down.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

RINOs hate her because she makes them look like... RINOs.

So true!

And why is no one else stepping up?

ESR's Person of the Year for 2010 is once again, Sarah Palin! (Jim Robinson won in 2000)

SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST

[upsdriver]

Palin was extraordinarily busy during 2010, though we'll ignore her TLC program Sarah Palin's Alaska, which in all honesty went unwatched here at the home of ESR.

It's unfortunate they dismissed Sarah Palin's Alaska show so easily. That show is conservative living on display.

[jonrick46]

I am seeing the unfolding of a political phenomenon very much like what I saw happen with Ronald Reagan. Sarah Palin is building a solid coalition of support which is very much under the radar of the average voter. The average liberal voter only knows about the negative publicity of the Daily Kos kind and have written her off. Anything on the subject of Sarah Palin is ignored because they think she is already damaged goods beyond rehabilitation. Little do they know that a big bad powerful train is all fueled up and has left the station. It is the train of the Silent Majority who is fed up to the eyeballs with another type of flooding in this nation: the sewage of the Left. Many of us do not realize that Sarah's train has blown its whistle and is down track and on schedule. She operates quietly like she does when the bear are near her canoe.

Iowa Caucus: Tentative date, Monday 16 January 2012.

Nevada Precinct Caucuses: Tentative date,Saturday 21 January 2012.

New Hampshire: Tentative date, Tuesday 24 January 2012.

Florida Primary: Tentative date, Tuesday 31 January 2012.

Whatever dates these early state primaries jockey for the advantageous position for candidate attention, Sarah Palin will be on schedule and be ready to deliver. Sarah Palin will make these states more than a whistle stop compared to the other candidates. She will give the campaign stopover a whole new name.

Says everything I need to know about this. Why would anyone who wants to be a pundit about what is important in America willingly ignore one of the things that makes Sarah even more like Reagan.

I remember Reagan's TV spots, it put him in mine and America's heart. Sarah is doing the same with her show. Ignore Sarah at your own peril, because she will be the next president.

[NailInACoffin]

Sarah Palin definitely proved her detractors wrong. They thought she would disappear after resigning from Alaska’s governorship, but she’s been just as visible as ever. If anything, she’s been in the news even more.

Wow. Looking at that list, and with the possible exception of Colon (sp) Powell, JR is in some mighty fine company there.

Among my most prized possessions are a citation awarded me by The National Republican Congressional Committee and signed by Tom Reynolds, naming me "Massachusetts Republican of the Year," and a National Leadership Award naming me Honorary Co-Chairman of the Business Advisory Council to The National Republican Congressional Committee signed by Tom DeLay. My most prized is a signed letter dated August 13, 2003 from President George W. Bush, sent while he was on vacation with Barbara at the ranch in Crawford, Texas, thanking me for my support of his efforts in Iraq.

He mentions the privilege of being the President of record at such a momentous time in world and American history, and the onerous responsibility of knowing how his actions would shape the course of mankind itself in the decades to come.

Pretty heavy stuff.

Nice to be named on such a list, Mr. Robinson, sir.

BINGO.

My personal perception is that the American people chose Sarah Palin as their president sometime right after the 2008 election.

I knew then, that the four years of Obama would simply be marking time, until we could officially hold elections again. We'll get it right next time.

[GregB]

She is my President!!!!!2ndDivisionVet thank you for all you have done for Sarah!!!!!

[LibLieSlayer]

Sarah is my horse if she never enters a race... but she will... and she will be the next President... not because of some cult of worship... but because she is the only true Conservative with a chance... she may be the only Conservative... and she may even fall to the right of Reagan... because unlike Reagan who trusted certain dims to tell the truth and believed that they could be trusted... Sarah has the benefit of decades of experience that has shown that dims are the father of the lie... that they can never be trusted... that they are always scheming to further their communist dream through the use of incrementalism.

Our enemies are telling us that she is a loser... that she has no chance. They write articles bashing her... 100 to 1 over any other candidate... abc this morning stated that newt gingrich was 2nd behind willard the abortionist. The hard left conspires with their dim brethren in certain liberal polling outfits, to make it appear that mitt romney is the overwhelmingly popular choice... a man that could not be elected dog catcher in his home state... the most liberal and communist enclave in America. No sir... Sarah is the real deal... the rest are card sharks... liars, cheaters and thieves... good at “dealing” from the bottom of the deck and from the slip of their sleeves.
