Palin warned us that if she ever makes a run for the presidency, it would be unconventional. She warned that she doesn't look too kindly to season inside-beltway hirings. She said that she hated the long drawn out running forever campaigns. People may be supporters of other candidates around here and like to beat Palin supporters up with that "she isn't running"...."give it up, she all about making money" theme but it's clear now that she has planned on running for a long time, she and her staff just decided not to tell the media through leaks or buddy-buddy exposes'
Sarah has just blownup all the articles, TV shows, roundtables that ran the past few months from the media that avoided mentioning her name as a potential candidate, that she didn't even existed. With a new house in the lower 48 as a possible campaign base, the hiring a new Foreign Adviser, with her saying that she has "fire in the belly" and telling Obama in the Madison Wisconsin in a wonderful speech that it was "Game On".....the needle points to run, Sarah, run!
“She had better find a unconventional way of hitting these debates or no amount of movies is going to put her in the WH. =.=”
Actually if you take the time to watch debates that include Palin, even before she was a National name, debates seem to be what actually put her in favor with the electorate.....
“Not anti-Palin, btw. Shes as good or better than the majority of names being tossed about.”
That’s about as convincing as the ex-staffer on Hannity last night trying to PROTECT us by vetting Governor Palin’s honesty in a trashy new book....It was embarassing and the agenda was clear....He did himself no favors by appearing on camera....And your comments about Governor Palin do you no favors when trying to convince folks that you honestly think she is as good as the other names being tossed around....
Absolutely!!!
Watch for Steve Hayes, Charles Krauthammer, Rich Lowry, Bill Kristol, Anne Coulter,Karen Hanretty etc etc... to be on suicide watch.
I love it
The "media" (including snl) has been unremittingly hammering Mrs. Palin for over two years....unremittingly. Yet here she stands....with the same core values, the same traits, the same conservative positions with which she struck the national stage back in '08. I serioulsly doubt she'll "cave" in the event she does run, and the msm doubles it's attacks. Have you ever heard of a "tipping" point? It is where the attacks become regarded as "unfair" to the person in question based on the fact that they are women,black,other minority group, businessmen, etc.
In the event she runs and the attacks are hightened, the tipping point will be reached.
It will crush a Palin candidacy.
That is nothing but an unfounded opinion, not a fact
Anybody who doesn't want four more years of dear leader should be concerned...big time.
I'm not exactly sure what you were referring to with the phrase "dear leader". I can only assume you meant "dead"?? Understand this, please. The leader is incredibly important. And should it come down to a choice between electing Mrs. Palin to the office of President of the United States, or allowing the awful stain to continue to ruin that same office....I, for one, will cast my vote for Mrs. Palin. Understand also, that while you may consider Mrs. Palin's Presidency "dear" (or "dead"??), remember, that with the eradication of the stain goes the entire regime now in power. That adds the "clincher" to my vote for putting Mrs. Palin in the office of President of the United States How stand you?
You are now free to throw more insults...just remember, they won't change the facts.
I'm not going to insult you in any way. However, be careful....be very careful in trying to present your opinions as "fact". Virtually all of the folks here at FR are very capable of seeing through such an attempt.
Unbeatable ticket
My fellow Americans. I am as concerned as you are about the direction
our country has headed in the past four years......and in conclusion.
GAME ON!
CainMutiny has been ZOTTED. I think that may have been pissant as a retread.
Do you have any clue why she resigned?
She clearly state she had DONE WHAT SHE SET OUT TO DO in Alaska, and the democraps were using her position as governor to file numerous lawsuits to tie her hands from getting anything else done and to PERSONALLY BANKRUPT HER
Good on you for quitting Sarah~! I am glad you made $millions afterwards. Thank God for Capitalism, eh? Keep that thought when you are President
The ONLY GOVERNOR EVER TO CHOOSE TO LEAVE OFFICE WHO WAS *NOT* UNDER INDICTMENT
If you want to pretend otherwise go right ahead.

Putting the blasphemous aspect of your post aside, IIRC, Jesus Christ suffered and died for us...He didn't get uncomfortable and quit.
You are now free to apply your usual gutter style to a response.
I’m with-holding judgement until/if she actually starts campaigning officially. However, when one looks at the complete set of circumstances involved in her decision to resign as AK gov, it should be readily apparent that it was the reasonable, prudent and correct action to take.
This presumes one is actually aware of the complete set of circumstances, is not being intellectually dishonest or playing political games.
Yes, the MSM will likely try to prosecute her on the issue of her resigning, but when they do, they give her the opportunity to respond — and all the circumstances that the MSM has tried to downplay (that clearly justify the decision to resign) can be presented. With the MSM’s help! It’s rather ironic.
So, it will be interesting. Just like Cain, I think Palin is a good person with valuable executive experience who *SHOULD* be afforded the opportunity to campaign. I certainly wouldn’t summarily write her off just yet.
Uh....no, you didn't. You also stated "It will crush a Palin Candidacy." (referring to attacks by the msm et al.
And that is not a fact! It is at best an opinion...as I stated in my original reply to your post. I did not contend the fact of Mrs. Palin's "quitting".
We try really hard not to "pretend" here as it serves no purpose. Folks on here do tend to be "purpose" oriented.
Those who bear false witness against a devout, prayerfully Spirit-led Christian sister are the blasphemers, not those who call them out by their true name. Evil.
Get out your checkbook. The bill is coming due.

"Mrs. Palin, we know what it took to get you to quit as governor. In Washington the pressures are exponentially tougher. What would it take to get you to quit as President?"
She can talk about the legal issues but folks' eyes will glaze over. And, if she does go that route then she will be asked...
"But, Mrs. Palin, when Bill O'reilly asked you about quitting you said nothing about these legal issues - you said that you would be a lame-duck and the people of Alaska deserve better. So, which excuse is the right one?"
Remember, she does not have to satisfy her freep-brigade. She does have to satisfy 65-70 million American voters.
That's not going to happen.
Out of over thirty people all of whom vote in every election, local, State and National, only two are not already strong supporters of Sarah.
Seven of these folks are registered Independent, four are Democrat. The two who (as of this writing) aren't planning on voting for Sarah are 1 Indy and 1 Dem. But Sarah and I have 1.5 years to work on them yet. There's still hope.
Keep the faith, keep up the fight, and never, never, never give in. One fact that never gets any mention in these "Palin discussions" is that, with God, all things are possible. And Sarah is with God.
Game on, game over.
