I am worried that both Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann are being set up here as a road block for Governor Palin.
First off. Michele Bachmann is not going to be elected. Secondly. She has already spent too much time in Washington D.C.
My other worry is that Palin has decided not to run. I think it is a tragedy for our country if she doesnt. With all of the loyal support she has, why wouldnt she run ? I don't get it. How many hands do you haave to shake and how much support do you have to have to have the needed confidence. Is is possible that she is believing the lies about her own unpopularity ?
She better not be rolling over under the pressure of others telling her she unelectable. and Michele Bachmann better not be doing this only to challenge and block Palin.
what scares me is that I think they are friends. or are they ?
someone help me know what to make of this
I find myself hoping that Palin is deliberately drawing fire away from other prospective candidates.....
that would be a waste of a career.
I think that Sarah knows, that because of the nature of politics in America, that she can’t win now, and she doesn’t want to mess it up for someone else.
She is a ethical woman, and I wish it were different. However, she has enough integrity to state the truth.
No such thing as friends in politics
I say calm down its too early. Sarah hasnt said much in the last couple of weeks and we are not used to that. Im assuming you are gaging the silence as a decision not to run. She is letting the dust settle and see where these new guys are taking us.
I sure hope you are wrong. You never know unless you try. It would seem like giving up and selling your supporters out.
No....that would be a terrific, selfless, strategic move......
she is not “deliberately” drawing fire. The media is obsessed in bringing her down, by making things up because she is by far the best Executive. Tell me which other candidate reduce spending on themselves while as Executive by 80%, helping save tonnes of money for the taxpayer, and reducing 16% in overall budget spending. She’s a very ethical person with taxpayers money
I think that that you should stay calm and see what develops as the year goes on. It is only January 5.
Where is your head? How can you have a problem with Ms. Bachmann? She is a wonderful woman who has even less baggage than Sarah has (didn’t quit in the middle of any term, has no idiot father for her grandkids, etc.).
Both women are great people and it’s ultimately up to them what they do. Regardless, they will help boost other conservatives should they decide to wait out the next election cycle.
Don’t get your panties in a wad.
Yeah. We all know it is better to sit on the sidelines and be a waterboy than try to be a leader on the field.
She would become a trivia question and not have the respect she deserves. and her name and picture wouldnt be in the history books.
thats a winner.. eh ?
you people sicken me
well, I think it gets down to the choice of
does the obamanation serve a second term?
because if we split up the repub ticket, that will happen...
makes me sick too...
Bachmann would be great.A brain ready for slashing which is what we need in DC. I think Sara called her and said...c’mon man...you can do it.”
A tragedy? Are you being serious? I think a lot of folks would be disappointed, but it's hardly as if every other potential candidate out there is just a complete schmuck.
In regard to Palin, I guess I just don't understand all the If I can't have you...I don't want nobody, baby mentality.
Michele Bachmann is nowhere near as inspiring as Sarah Palin is. She is a downgrade. She is not as youthfull and as charismatic.
I sicken you?
Because I don’t think Palin is the ideal candidate?
I sicken you. Then barf and save the drama.
