You need to try to envision someone else. Palin is not going to run. Its already May and she has nobody on the ground in early primary states. Neither does Huck. He’s not running either.

Your choices are going to be: Cain, TPaw, Mitt, Mitch, Paul, Johnson, Santorum, Newt, Trump and maybe Bachmann or Huntsman.

Are you telling me all the folks you listed have folks on the ground in the early states?

I think not.

A false comparison.

“You need to try to envision someone else. Palin is not going to run.”

Did you see the fox interview where she said her run would not be a conventional one?......She had always just “Jumped In” a race without the “I have an exploratory team” nonsense.....That type of approach could possibly take the election.....Let’s face it, she would definitely get more coverage than anyone else, and her messages would be heard without the McCain clan calling the shots.....THAT would resonate with folks......

No point in trying to tell them to look around. Come election day these true believers will be writing her name in whether she's running or not.

I fear for their mental health if she runs and the campaign flatlines or, worse, she is nominated and loses to Obama in 2012. Mark my words, it won't be her fault though. It'll be the evil press, the GOP establishment, a cabal of RINOs or some other boogeyman.

She better announced in-or-out soon. The longer she strings fans along the more she hurts the party and nomination process. Playing hard to get will alienate millions. This isn't about her. No coronations, no "it's her turn" nonsense. Get in and fight.

I believe you are wrong and I'll tell you why. "On the ground" in early primary states is useful for establishment Republicans. It's old thinking. Palin doesn't operate by conventional means. She will have a grassroots movement(tea party) ready to go to work on short notice. My belief is Sarah Palin is going to stun "conventional wisdom" in this election. I also believe that "tea party" styled candidates are going to swamp the opposition. It ain't even going to be close.

On the other hand, if the GOP nominates a "safe" candidate, all bets are off. Nothing changes in DC. Just more taxing and spending and economic doom. Choose wisely.

LOL. You couldn't be more mistaken if you actually knew what you were talking about. Her ground game and grassroots organization has been in the works for months throughout the states.

The first early primaries do not take place until January 2012. Iowa has a straw poll during their fair in August.

Here's a clue just for you. TEA PARTY EXPRESS is co-hosting a presidential debate during Labor Day week in Tampa, Florida, with cnn.

We'll wait to see whether Governor Sarah Palin participates in that debate, but several of us are already planning to attend, including Jim Robinson.

Its already May and she has nobody on the ground in early primary states. She has no conventional operatives on the ground. She has a large organization on the ground, organize4palin.com ramping up in all 50 states. Try not to forecast what Palin will do based on the traditional standard operating procedure. Many have made that mistake in the past and wound up losing.

Palin is an unconventional politician. She doesn't play by the rules.

I don’t have a clue as to if Palin runs or not, but I hold out hope she will.

If she does commit, I think the Williwaw from Wasilla will hit the campaign trail like a human dynamo. Her opponents will not know what hit them, there is no one on the current political scene who can even come close to her for doing the demanding Iowa and New Hampshire one on one retail politics.

Her campaigning history was to be everywhere and anywhere, from the inner city to the rural cross road, to meet and have dialog with large or small crowds, and individuals, wherever she encountered them.

It? I do not know what “it” is, and cannot describe “It,” but you either have “it” or you don’t, and one thing I do know for sure, Sarah Pain has “it” in spades.
