Should Sarah Palin run for office in 2012? (Poll)
Facebook ^ | Qwanz

Posted on 06/18/2011 12:54:51 PM PDT by editor-surveyor

Election year is just 6 months away and Sarah Palin is working the crowd…sort of. Her latest bus tour has a lot of people wondering what she’s up to. In an effort to not have the media follow her around; Palin has opted to not disclose where she’s going next until she’s there. It’s an interesting, albeit confusing, tactic and has a lot of people wondering what she’s planning.

Some are speculating that Palin is setting the stage for a Presidential or Vice Presidential bid in the 2012 elections. Others are just plain confused at why her bus tour is veiled in such mystery. Whatever’s going on – it has Sarah Palin on the minds of the public and in media again which may be exactly where she wants to be.

What do you think? Should Sarah Palin make a run for the White House again or is it time for her to bow out and allow her fellow Republicans to focus their efforts and funding on other candidates? Should Sarah Palin run for office in 2012?

Romney was politically dead the moment ObamaCare passed. Even dumbass Obama mocks him.

Just stop. Your boy Romney has no shot...and if he is the nominee...a viable Third Party will begin and the GOP is finished.

If I were to pick a candidate to take over right now it would be Cain. If I were to pick a candidate to start with a clean slate it would be Palin. If I were to pick a candidate to support either of them, it would be Bachmann.

Like you said, you're still looking over the field. There's lots and lots of time left to make your decision. I don't fault you for that one bit.

Your willingness to make up facts about who I support, speaks to your willingness to disregard facts which clearly point to a GOP defeat if Palin runs. I have not expressed here, or on any other thread, a preference in the race, other than that I do not want a second term for Obama, nor a first term for Palin.

If 2012 comes down to Palin and Obama, yes, my money will be on Obama. My vote won’t be, but you’d be a fool to take the Palin side of that bet.

There you go again. You couldn't phrase that in any other way, could you? You just have to take a sideways dig at someone who supports the view that Palin is our strongest candidate, and that she will beat Obama in the general.

I see lightning in your future.

You’re a RINO Romney bot if there ever was one...I’m sure I recall you stating your support for Romney. Perhaps I’m wrong...ok, who do you support?

First and foremost, let me say I would never vote for a Mormon. Prejudiced? Yes, but we’ve got that right in the voting booth, don’t we?

Don't be. I hear that it happens so fast, that you don't even feel it.

No one, right now. There’s a long way to go. I’ve started my process of elimination: Palin, wearers of the magic underwear, etc. We’ll see once everybody gets in the race. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Baloney. Cite a single source..

Paul Revere's written word remains good enough for me. Revere was only one of perhaps dozens of riders that night. Only because of Longfellow's poem does Revere gain such notoriety.

IIRC, Governor Palin's father was a History teacher.

When will people like you ever learn? We here on FR look for TRUTH. Not some line you shills try to peddle. It’s long ago been proven that Sarah was correct.

Even NPR showed excerpts of Revere’s letter proving that what Sarah said was correct. Maybe you will believe the truth when you see it printed on one of your own lefty sites.

Sorry but cjeck out some Palin threads...there are 100’s of posts that prove the point.

Every candidate has their unquestioning defenders. One can certainly come across them on a Cain or Bachmann thread.

Are you one of them?

So you learned in school that Paul Revere’s mission...

Palin wasn't asked what Revere's "mission" was nor did she say that was what she was describing.

Very few people don't know who she is and most people have already made up their minds about her and she's only got about 35-40% support.

You have no idea if people will change their mind about any candidate and you have no idea if the LSM bought and paid for polls 18 months before an election are an accurate indication of what will happen.

The LSM polls told us that Reagan was down 32 points in the polls 8 months before the 1980 general election. Did you hug those polls too?

Try to start with an egg that isn’t cracked already.

I do not agree. Most people, maybe 80-90%, don’t think much about political issues. Hillary went from being nearly universally despised to being one step from the Presidency. She and Madison Ave. marketers changed the minds of a quarter to a third of the nation, all fools, but it was done. Americans “knew” Hill when they loathed her also. We don’t have to lie about Sarah to change mushy minds. It can and will be done. Bob

I think that she is great, but it is up to her and her family.

“You see lightning in there future”?

Really? You threaten someone with a banning? a zot?

You call on someone to be zotted because they do not think Palin is a current contender and stand by and support lies about a good conservative tea party candidate-Bachmann?

What about this? Do you still support RED SOUTH’S posts copied and pasted over and over with NO LINKS; as you have before?
