Sarah Inches Closer

Sarah Inches Closer

© 2011 by Anthony James

Sean Hannity just had Sarah Palin on as a guest with whom he discussed two approaching deadlines. One was the arbitrarily set deadline of August 2 whereby the Democrats are trying to twist the arms of the GOP, forcing them to raise the debt ceiling... basically, demanding that we give the junkie more smack.

Palin’s answers and general approach to the situation were, as usual, spot on. Her suggestions that the GOP not blink, and instead demand that our chief executive actually lead on this issue by coming up with a plan to get through the weeds instead of continuing his petulant game of class warfare and disingenuous financial sky is falling rhetoric, were also exactly what we should expect from a real leader.

The other deadline, a bit more loosely interpreted, was framed when Sean asked Sarah if she had a general timetable for making a decision about whether or not she would run for president. Sarah started with the general disclaimer that she isn't conceited enough to believe that nobody else could solve the problems that we face, then quickly segued into her belief that the right person, with all the requisite experience, record and skillset, was not yet among the cadre of current GOP hopefuls.

She then, in a more candid moment than we have seen from her regarding this issue to date, acknowledged that any serious candidate would have to have their organizational game on the ground and in motion by August/September. It is now July 13.

I firmly believe that she fully intends not only to throw her hat into the ring, but that she has a very innovative and strategically sound plan for winning the 2012 presidential election. By reiterating that she would not necessarily run if she saw the right person positioned to seize those reins, but that she did not see that person in the current group of contenders, this is the closest we have gotten so far to a firm statement that she intends to run, and intends to officially announce this quite shortly.

While I titled this “Sarah Inches Closer,” I actually feel she did quite a bit more than that tonight. She made it clear that she feels she can win, that there's nobody already running whom she trusts to do the job, and that it's only a few short days or weeks at most before she plans to make an official announcement.

While she didn't come out and explicitly state precisely these same words, she said exactly the same thing with the words that she did use, and quite frankly I could not be happier. For the first time in the 2012 general election season, I have every good confidence that we now not only have some light at the end of this tunnel. We truly have rapidly rising, very brightly shining star.

The background was from her home studio which was intended to be Todds airplane hanger. That is lake Lucile you see. She also has the same view from her living room. In the winter time interviews you can see people riding snow machines and cars in the frozen lake.
Nancy French, the lady that helped Bristol write her book stayed in the apartment, office complex on the second floor.

Just watched the video. It is far from easy to answer questions and speak in complete and coherent sentences for upwards of twenty minutes without a single hem, haw, errr, or ughhh. The test is to look at (or imagine as one is listening to) a transcript of what is being said. Even the very best speakers will sometimes flub words and phrases of make fill-in noises as thoughts are collected.

Gov Palin speaks off the cuff in plain but structurally perfect and logical sentences. This kind of extemporaneous mastery of logical rhetoric is something a Lincoln or a T. Roosevelt could do but that was at a time when people took the language seriously, and you can still see this kind of spoken high wire act in British Parliamentary debate, but I haven't personally seen it in an American politician ever (even Ronald Reagan hemmed and hawed his way through interviews).

This woman is remarkable.

3,188,727 just now. I think being on Hannity has helped just tonight.

There will be a true explosion on FB WHEN she announces! :)

I look forward to that moment!

But you gotta be! They get even madder if you laugh at them ya know! Kinda ‘overcompensating’ for something I think ;)
Now just sit there and take it or they’ll stomp their feet and throw themselves on the floor and hold their breath and...

Don’t count on it. On another thread last night the PDS patrol were openly saying that McCain would have been worse. One even said he prefers Obama to McCain. Went on for hours.

” There’s a handfull of people right here on FR that said she wasn’t so it must be true cuz they get REAL mad when you say otherwise “

1) More than a handful
2) You spelled “ handful “ incorrectly
3) I did not vote for the Marxist .

Either she runs, or moves in after Marine Expeditionary forces retake the capital.

One way or another...ineluctable.

Spelling flame....ooohhhh....

No it was a handfulllll and we all had a good laugh at them. I’m sure they’ll be here soon. Someone usually calls them and they come running like good dogs.

PDS must destroy reading and comprehension. I said “Probably”. Did you miss that? See?I wasn’t wrong afterall! ‘)
