Wait, Sarah, Wait (Delay Continues to be Palin's Ally)

Romney’s been in the catbird seat this whole run, untouched. He’s accumulating cash, and positioning for a post-South Carolina primary roll that will be unstoppable.

I agree. Seems to me the odds of gaining the nomination are something like:

Romney - 50%
Perry - 20%
Palin - 20%
Cain - 5%
All Others Combined - 5%

***Sadly agree, Cain couldn’t beat Obama. Hard to believe so many people here are on his bandwagon. No political experience, that’s a deal killer right there. On the job training for POTUS? Please.
Flame away. It’s all I’ll be saying on the matter, not here to upset anyone.***

I hesitate to post because I don’t want to come across as anti-Palin (I’m not) and I’m not trying to disrupt this thread, but I do want to address this issue.

I think one of the reason’s that Cain does have a shot is that he’s not a politician. Most Americans are sick and tired of the mess politicians and lawyers have put us in over the last 50 years. A guy who’s a smart, great manager who actually has real world experience trying to keep business afloat while dealing with Washington’s nonsense is exactly what I’m looking for.

Most of these political wonks never really have to live with the laws that they foist on the rest of us. They don’t understand how they suffocate and strangle business and free enterprise.

But Cain does. His lack of political office may end up being his biggest selling point. (I brought this issue up to my husband this morning and he said, “That’s a huge PLUS in my book!”) People are ready to try something different. What we’ve been voting for hasn’t been working.

For that matter, I do believe that Palin gets this, too.

The high pitched is only when she gives a speech OUTSIDE in front of a huge crowd. NEVER during an interview or a debate. LEARN about Sarah’s life, then we can talk.

[vicar7]

If Sarah thinks that Herman could get the nomination Sarah would not get in. However Sarah if she gets in she knows she will win and could use Herman and all the rest to restore America. I am not sure Sarah wants to risk it, that Herman will not make it. Sarah will fundamentally change the direction of this country and the folks will demand it.

“So NOTHING negative can ever be overcome? The practice with interviews she’s had since then, getting more experience on the national scene, her ability to answer off the cuff questions of the press with ease will have absolutely NO effect. Gosh, I’d better go back to school because I failed Algebra the first time around. Maybe the teacher thought my new understanding was a fluke and only judged me on my first try.”

She didn’t get better with more practice. She’s more like Perry. That’s why she doesn’t want to have so many debates. She looks good now but if we were to see her flub and fumble over and over, she’ll be just another savior that couldn’t deliver.

[editor-surveyor]

You obviously don’t understand what sarcasm is.

(or what it isn’t)

[Windflier]

Cain does not have the high negatives that Sarah has. I have my doubts that Sarah is electable at all...

You do realize that you're repeating the left-wing, MSM talking points against Palin, do you not?

No other prospective candidate brings more excitement and numbers to the table, as Palin does. That's a fact which cannot be spun out of existence by the left, or the RINO establishment.

Don't buy into their lies and spin. They're more worried about Palin stepping into the race than they let on. If the last three years should have taught you anything, it's that they fear her more than any other person on the right.

Think with it.

[DJ MacWoW]

I see you’re still on FR. Isn’t that nice. I’m so glad that you didn’t mean it when you said you’d leave when I proved you lied. It shows real chutzpah.

[Marie]

Palin would endorse Herman Cain. If she’s the kingmaker, then he is the man who would be king.

“The high pitched is only when she gives a speech OUTSIDE in front of a huge crowd. NEVER during an interview or a debate. LEARN about Sarah’s life, then we can talk.”

No, she has that voice every time she’s on Fox News with Greta.

[factmart]

At this point I think my dog could beat Obama. Could Cain beat Hillary? Could Palin?

Hillary would lose a lot worse than Obama, The blacks would stay home if Zero was stabbed in the back.

You need to think though the story line before you make funny comments like that.

[Windflier]

...isn’t willing to put any ideas on the table that might fix America (also like Palin).

See Sarah's Indianola speech from just a month ago:

GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you? PALIN: They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska. GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia? PALIN: Well, I’m giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that it’s in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

Did Mr Gibson, or any other MSM a-hole, ever ask candidate Obama a similar question? I don't remember it - what I remember is them filling in the answers for him i.e. "my Muslim....errr...Christian faith".

[gov_bean_ counter]

She didn’t get better with more practice.

Your comment is a complete contradiction of what was reported by CNN after one of her impromptu interviews in Iowa.

[DJ MacWoW]

My guess is OP is not a Palin supporter and was mocking you and any of us that are anticipating her announcement. You see them on every Palin thread and typically they are either Paulbots or solid and unmoving Perry supporters.

First of all, it's polite to ping who you are discussing.

Secondly, the OP, Brices Crossroads, is a stanch Palin supporter.

So! You'd guess wrong.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “You know, what I really don’t understand from people who post on Fr, meaning not the du liberals, is that Sarah haters really hate her viscerally - with no logic.” <<

.
No, the PDSers are mostly not a real part of FR.

They are a part of what Palin’s presidency is going to dismantle, and they know it. Their fear is real, and reasonable.

[gov_bean_ counter]

No, she has that voice every time she’s on Fox News with Greta.

Not so.

[savage woman]

I would hate to see Herman Cain wasted as a VP. He is much more qualified than to have him cooling his heels in a do-nothing job. I would much rather see him in a cabinet post or an economic advisor. I want him at the table in a Palin administration.

But that is the beauty of Palin being President - because
she would have the foresight to change the image of the
VP position to be a “do something job”. She knows the
“good old boys” days are over...

[FreeReign]

Thanks so much for the three year old Palin interview when she was still a bit wet behind the ears.

Here's a more recent inteview.

BLITIZER: Let’s talk about gun control. Do you support any gun control?

CAIN: I support the Second Amendment.

BLITZER: So you don’t? What’s the answer on gun control?

CAIN: The answer on gun control is I support, strongly support, the Second Amendment. I don’t support onerous legislation that’s going to restrict people’s rights in order to be able to protect themselves as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

BLITZER: Should states or local governments be allowed to the gun situation . . .

CAIN: Yes

BLITZER: So the answer is yes?

CAIN: Yes. The answer is yes, that should be a state’s decision.

Count me as one who thinks “articulate” and “degree” describe Oblabla, and are not necessarily qualifiers.
