Who Will be the First to Declare for 2012?
None | 11-15-2010 | grunthor

Posted on 11/15/2010 4:17:37 PM PST by Grunthor

Now that the mid terms are over, it strikes me that for the last Presidential election, there was early entry into the ring. So two questions for us to ponder;

1. Who will declare first?

2. When?

Probably someone who has nothing better to do than to run for office like Newt. Those who are the real Conservative front-runners will probably jump in after the initial around of declarations.

You may also see some early vanity candidacies like that strange guy from New Mexico (Gary Johnson)- probably some third party.

Why would you say Palin, when she’s repeatedly said, she would first view the field of others?

FWIW, I would love to first celebrate THANKSGIVING, CHRISTmas, New Year’s and the swearing-in of the new House & Senate Tea Party Republicans,

before addressing campaign 2012’s candidates.

I hope they all hold-off at least *that* long.

I don’t know who will be first, but I believe that after the 8 week run Of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska”, and her book tour she will declare. I can’t wait.....

Palin will be the first.

Nobody will dare preempt her, especially Mitt "Me Too" Romney.

If Palin has any intention of announcing her candidacy she should wait to do it.
She should wait till the last minute.
Make it a real "nail biter". (Will she run or not?)
Give the MSM less time to mount their offensive.
Also pull another Ross Perot. Get them to "beg" her to run. (Except for the "backing down" and then "coming back" part)

As I pointed out on an earlier thread, she has her enemies right where she wants them by doing a "Colonel Puller" on them.
Now let her do a "Perot" except showing Perot how he Should have Done It!
lol

Palin said that she would only declare if there are no good candidates.

How would she know if she goes first?
