Will Sarah run? Utah is critical!
Blogging the Rambler ^ | October 1, 2011 | Charles Trentelman

Just saw this story in the NYTimes speculating on whether Ms. Governor-of-Alaska-for-a-while Sarah Palin will announce she is running for president.

I am fascinated that Utah’s Oct. 15 deadline for a list of potential candidates is the first hint that we’ll see, nation-wide, that she intends to toss her hat (expensive like last time?) into the ring.

Other than that, who cares? All the other GOP candidates have flamed out — the latest Great Political Hope (a hint at the old “Great White Hope” construction, but Cain is black) Texas Gov. Perry is in the process of making a ass out of himself, proposing to get American Troops involved in the Mexican drug war, as if we don’t already have our troops involved in enough expensive quagmires around the world. Perry is apparently doing this to look tough on immigration because his statements that letting school children of immigrants stay in school was being humane was apparently was too wishy-washy for the Tea Party crowd, and these brave bold leaders in the GOP don’t dare offend the tea party.

Seriously, they all do it. The Tea Party crowd — old white rich and pissed off Republicans — farts and these guys all change their minds to demand it smells like roses. Are they really leaders? Or followers?

And who are they following? Old white rich and pissed off Republicans.

The GOP presidential race is looking more and more like a clown car with a never-ending supply of clowns. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the world watch UTAH! Whoot!

See #16. I found the October 15th date I was searching for a couple of days ago. Utah, BTW, has 5 electoral votes.

Yes, Sarah Tzu is outsmarting us all.

All hail Sarah Tzu, savior of the universe.

When I see a post that looks suspicious, as did palladin`s, I do a quick 45 second look at their in forum posts.

This guy Palladin is like a rash on Palin threads making indecent comments one after the other.

If I had the time to do the same with all the people that came to Palladin`s defense, I imagine I would find the same with them.

If his defenders had any cred, they would have first checked his in forum posts before they came to his aid.

So you supported Palin but because someone called you a name, now you wont support her, ok? That is just weird.

Perhaps if you'd actually read what was posted, rather than twisting it 'round to make it sound like what you wanted it to, it wouldn't be quite so weird. Palin has her pluses and her minuses, just like everyone else, but the Cult of Saint Sarah is particularly strong here and their devotional rites are not doing the real Sarah Palin any great favors.

I think the image of the crying child perfectly illustrates the childishness of those who continue to stomp their feet like children in this forum over the fact that Sarah Palin has not officially rendered her decision yet.

So please keep the graphic in circulation, you are indeed hitting them where it hurts.

Personally, I believe that Palin has decided long ago that she will be running. However, due to the type of campaign she intends to run, it does not make tactical sense to formally announce any sooner than she has to.

Believe it or not, when she does announce and the campaign gets underway, people are simply not going to remember (or care) that she did not get into the race until fairly late in the game. Hell, most people can't even remember what they had for dinner three nights ago.

They will think all Sarah supporters are idiots”

True enough. She deserves better.

That said, with regards to the substance of the matter. She could blow off Utah with impunity.

Oct. 15 is meaningless. Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, however, are much more important.

Sorry buddy this is what was said and that is what I was commenting on. This person is not going to support Palin because someone called someone a name (see quote below).

I really want Palin to run, if she doesn't she has her reasons and I'll sport someone else. She can run on her own time table, I am not going to tell her what to do, unless she asks of course. This running years before the first primary is just stupid. I mean states are moving up primaries, I am expecting primaries for 2016 to be showing up soon, with cries if you don't declare by 2012 you can't win in 2016.

This whole declaring on someone else's time schedule and months and months before primaries is just annoying.

I was a big Sarah fan, but her supporters on FR have changed me. I don't give a damn if she runs or not. The name calling that you just got is a prime example.

Sorry buddy, but you still have serious reading comprehension problems.

The post you’re referring to stated that it was the attitude, as a general matter, of the Saint Sarah worshippers that had turned the poster off, and that the name-calling the Cultists are currently engaging in on this thread was a perfect example of the sort of objectionable behaviour the Cultists engage in. That is not the same thing as saying that they stopped supporting Palin because the Saint Sarah Cultists were calling the poster names.

“Saint Sarah worshippers;”

“Saint Sarah Cultists;”

You’re awfully concerned about name calling when you’re guilty yourself.

It’s always best to have clean hands.

Are you forgetting about Huntsman? He may not get votes elsewhere, but in UT, it’s up for grabs between him and Romney, probably with Huntsman the “favorite son.”

Your ‘cultist’ posts are not only old but a dime a dozen as they are the talking points of those suffering from PDS. But pissants do what pissants do!

In the meantime, you crowned Perry, St Rick, patron saint of the illegals.
