Great. Another prediction for when Sarah will announce. Enough already with Nostradamus predictions.
Ahh... the old wishful thinking of other states. A couple may try to pass a law pushing up their date. Iowa already has a law mandated we caucus first. Iowa can change our date at a moment’s notice... well, pretty darn fast, anyway.
The headline said “when” the discussion did not.
So here’s my take: before the end of the year, probably in November. She wants to emulate Reagan in timing as well.
Interesting analogy, thanks. Augments my belief that she can win it.
I never bought the garbage put out by the democrats that she can’t win it, though. She was a totally unknown in 2008 when McCain picked her. Nobody was even aware of her successful record in Alaska as they are now. McCain couldn’t get much beyond a yawn in the polls, but within 3 weeks, they were out polling Obama/Biden by 3%, when Obama was even in his calm the rising waters hayday. And their money had doubled.
Then, of course McCain screwed the pooch with his bullish support of ramming TARP through and weakness in not demanding more oversight in the bill...instead of giving the appearance of thoughful yet wary consideration. He lost the independents within 47 days of the election.
I sincerely don’t think Palin is concerned about the polls. I believe she knows that once she starts campaigning, she will appeal to the Right, Middle, Independents, and Crossover voters. This is her history. I think the Independents/Middle are there because they don’t want to identify with either party and they are social moderates. Palin always governed as a social moderate - she thinks those are issues for the individual rather than the government. I think once she starts her visible campaign on Energy Independence, Constitutional Government, and Fiscal Responsibility she will have it in the bag regardless of who else is running.
1) Gov Palin will announce when the time-frame is right (campaign spending is key).
2) The candidate to get my vote will look the “moderates” and “independents” straight in the eye and say “American Patriotism requires ^YOU^ to either $4!t or get off the pot!”
3) if Gov Palin doesn’t do the equivalent of this, we are a lost republic.
IMAO (A=arrogant)
When is too late?
Lastly, when is this election and are you sure it applies to 2012? I thought a lot of these Electoral College negating bills were tied to other states slitting their throats in like manner before they went into effect....
McCaskill is toast, imo. I heard a clip of her on a morning radio show today blaming the lack of economic recovery on the House Republicans. She will not win with that strategy.
What about today’s report in the Daily Mail that Todd is going to ask her for a divorce?
I think you’re off by two weeks - April 1st.
They go to crazy-land at any suggestion that their guy isn't preordained.
He's due for a meltdown any day, they're just in denial.
Hoeven? Why? So the GOP can lock down all three of North Dakota's electoral votes?
Otherwise, great analysis, except that if Pennsylvania adopts the pending bill to allocate electoral votes on the same basis as Maine and Nebraska, most of our Commonwealth will behave like a midwestern state as well.
For certain, the field isn’t set until Palin makes her announcement.
October 1st...here comes Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old rag story.
Sarah Palin could be set to lose both her marriage and her political career after the release of the explosive biography on the Tea Party darling.
The National Enquirer claims that friends close to the politician and her husband Todd say he is ‘fed up’ with the constant scandals that have plagued their marriage ever since she ran for vice president and is ready to file for a divorce.
As well as kissing goodbye to her marriage, it has also been alleged that her advisers have told her to kiss goodbye to the White House fearing a bid would be ‘political suicide’.
In The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, the 47-year-old is accused of having a night of passion with a basketball star, snorting cocaine and having an affair with her husband’s business partner - all allegations which are thought to have shattered Palin’s White House dream.
I believe Palin has decided to run all along but is not going to announce until she is ready to announce.
Agreed she is running it is just a matter of when she announces then the fun begins. Obama has no chance to get reelected and Sarah is the most conservative one in the bunch. Sarah will do what she says she will do and that scares the Dems and the Repubs equally. Oh it will be so fun watching and participating in getting Sarah over the line.
October 31st Trick or Treat!!!!!
April 1st April Fool...
IF this PA bill passes, look for a Palin announcement shortly thereafter. If none occurs, then she won’t be running.
Lots of words but nothing stating when this bill maybe up for a vote, gov. signature and effectived date. Do you have that info. Will all this occur before the upcoming drop dead dates starting on Oct. 31 in Florida?
