Sarah Palin Is Running For President Of The United States 2012.
Unite And State ^ | 10/04/2011 | Mayer Abbey

Posted on 10/04/2011 3:15:59 PM PDT by PalinCain2012

The announcement is to be expected and will be coming shortly from all that I keep hearing, and my inbox is exploding. The writing is on the wall. The establishment class in the Republican party have thrown everything they could at thwarting a Palin run. There have been recent primary date changes in Florida and South Carolina. These moves were artificially moved forward to prevent any more time for a candidate to game the system, to leisurely let the field collapse before entering. This was a specifically choreographed effort by the GOP. The fear of a "Rogue" candidate is almost bordering on hysteria. They must be in control and must be a part of any candidacy. They cannot handle the rejection that Palin casts their way.

The establishment is under pressure because they know "they" will lose the party to a conservative coalition and they will soon be out of jobs. There was a strong push for a Chris Christie run. I predicted last week that he was not running, but that he would wait until the last possible moment to finally concede definitively that he was out. That moment came earlier today. I know there are many out there that will point out that he has been saying no for a long long time, and while that is true he has consistently dropped little nuggets that gave the establishment hope. The media was dragging the story a long and let us be honest Chris Christie loved the attention. The truth is Chris Christie did not want to run, he was being drafted to run or to string a long the media with the idea of a run. This would run down the clock and hopefully prevent Palin from entering the race.

The conventional collective wisdom

I have really like gringrich as of late but I just cannot see him winning anything. But I do like having him in the debates.

I based my comment on the reaction to Perry lately on Free Republic.

I still like him and he would be my second choice.

The press is after him big time, even looking under rocks.

Drudge is right now up to something. He just removed the Palin headline and right now it is without a Headline. Fingers quadruple crossed.

Drudge now has CBS poll: Cain ties Mitt.

theOtherMcCain posted today that he hears from Perry people that they are going to launch an assault on Cain.

Drudge moved the ‘Palin Time’ headline down in the center column. Headline is now “Cain Catches Romney”.

You can switch the names around and the result will be the same...landslide.
SP not going to VP for anybody, she’s in the driver’s seat.

The mainstream has been stuck on Perry's racist rock and in the process dragging Cain's overplayed hand with it. Michele Bachmann has begun her winter hybernation and Ron Paul has been stuck on impeachment.

Our current crop of candidates aren't getting it done.

She is the main attraction, face it.....

She is also the most known and feared target to date. The opponent has spent considerable time these last three years preparing specifically against her. Don't believe for a moment the "surprises" aren't already planned and set in motion. This is chess. Humbling herself to VP slot is the ultimate Queen's Sacrifice. It is the unexpected move that upsets the board. We win easily and without expensing many pieces.

Speaking of "main attractions" is a play to vanity. Vanity is game loser. Look how much vanity has cost Obama. If the only reason "Palin needs to be at the top" is for the sake of vanity, then it is a decision not thought well through. Certainly I would support her, but a battle to protect the Queen at all costs often loses the chess match entirely.

In a two-person race between Romney and Palin:

Only 25% of registered Republicans are moderates (commies in my book).

Of the Independents who are voting in Republican primaries in open and semi-open states, practically all of them are going ultra-conservative. The 2010 Midterm election was proof of this.

Sarah has at least an 80/20 advantage over Romney for the nomination.

In a four-way split, Palin and Cain would split the conservative vote (80%/2 ~ 40% each to fight over), and Romney and Perry would split the corrupt RINO, anti-American vote (20%/2 ~ 10% each to fight over).

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

I have never smelled napalm but I imagine it would smell quite good under those circumstances.

I see that. I love Cain almost as much as Palin. But you know Romney is in deep doo doo when Cain that easily tied him up in the polls. People just do not want Romney. Plus Cain is a rockstar.

I think Sarah is the best idea, and could deal with a Cain VP to give him some experience. But not the head chair.

I'm not opposed to that at all -- it's just the more costly route. With three decades of successful business experience and political run-ins dating back to the early 90's, I easily have as much confidence in Cain's abilities as I do Palin's. And in the current environment, I see advantage in Cain being the front runner. That is not at all to say I wouldn't be pleased with roles reversed.

Wouldn't Palin/Cain make more sense, experience-wise?

That depends upon the priorities. I hear jobs-jobs-jobs touted as priority one. In that arena, I would look first to Cain. With anti-Federalism as priority, states and citizens rights, I would look first to Palin. As a pair, they make a complete package regardless of which has the "V" in their title.

I agree 100% -- my point lies in which arrangement of the ticket is an easier victory with the least divisiveness and expense. And, of course, there is that hidden benefit achieved by her accepting a VP slot : it wastes a tremendous amount of the opponent's resources that have been invested in preparing for a target Presidential candidate that does not appear.

I would welcome her to the race. HOWEVER ... I should point out that if, rather than coming to the fore, she instead threw her weight behind Cain -- to which Cain would thank her with a VP slot -- this election would already be over, and they would win in a landslide, and Palin would not need to spend a fraction of her coffers in the effort

Would Cain beat Hillary?

You know that is some tremendous thinking there. Seriously could Cain beat Hillary. I do not know the answer my gut says the populist wins and Hillary is seen as part of the problem but that will be tough-It is hard to beat fairy tales, i.e first black president, first female president. I do like your idea of Palin playing king maker with Cain. Its a pretty dominating strategy. I would prefer Cain as the vp but I cannot argue the dominance.
