As usual, A.J. nails it down.

I wonder if she will seek orin hatch’s endorsement.

[Gargantua]

I believe she will either announce on this day, or she will tell the crowd the date on which she intends to annouce. If the latter, she will also hint strongly at what that announcement will be, and nobody will go home diappointed.

IMHO.

;^D

[Gargantua]

How do you type with your head up there?

;^\

[Gargantua]

Just kidding. Actually, Hatch has already come out in strong support of Palin.

[Gargantua]

Palin's family was from Idaho before they moved to Alaska. Hatch is from Utah. Them two states are real close. They were, like, neighbors.

[steel_resolve]

Cmon, you, can do better than the neighbor excuse. It is a legitimate question. Why would she endorse what is in essence the anthesis of the tea party movement?

GAME ON!


Sarah Palin's Busy Ping List!

No, it's an ignorant, predictable attempt to derail the point of the article. Won't work. You are clearly twisting her admonition that we should support "Hatch's call for balanced budget reform" and "support for Hatch." There's a big difference to those who pay attention, and those who have known the lady personally for decades.

The only people who pretend not to know the difference are human excreta. Nobody listens to them... we can smell 'em, but we don't listen.

So, do you ever watch re-runs of "Tool Time?"

Did she endorse Hatch? It seems she agreed with Greta that Hatch was for a BBA long before the Tea Party were raising noise about it. She never actually endorsed him, even those who raised hell against her about it, claim she non-endorsed endorsed Hatch which is a stretch . Btw that Chatzet guy running against Hatch endorsed Romney for President, go figure that out!!!

[upsdriver]

I’ve got bigger things to worry about..... such as will my Palin for President t-shirt arrive before I make the long drive to Iowa next week?

[RayChuang88]

The day Palin announces, she will evoke what both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher stood for.

It will be the day we see an amazing campaign with the type of optimism that the late Reagan stood for--evoking reminders of "Morning in America" and telling people to return to the days of American exceptionalism.

[MestaMachine]

Stuff it, will ya!

[Yaelle]

Yes, how amazing it will be to hear her announcement speech that gives us Actual Hope: of getting back to American Pride: our exceptionalism, brought out of our self-reliance, confidence in our G-d given rights and in the founding documents that explain them!

Make it good, Sarah! A lot of us will be reaching for our wallets when you finish!

[onyx]

Beautifully stated! You’re right, I can’t wait to send her the money I’ve set aside, “just for her”!

I hope she breaks all one day fund raising records!

[alstewartfan]

What concerns me now is Sarah’s statement on Greta that Hillary is more Presidential than Obama, and that many wish they could have the choice again. Why only several months ago, Hitlery called Assad a “reformer”. She is a kook and a dunce, and while it may be good politics to speak well of Rotten Clinton, it’s time that someone unmasked this nutty, anti-Semitic Marxist as well. It’s possible at this juncture that this slimeball may be the nominee! There is nothing good to say about her whatsoever.

[steel_resolve]

I will stuff nothing. fr is the place for answers to questions Your stupid comment does nothing to move the conversation forward and its more worthy for a place like the democratic underground.

[CA Conservative]

It appears she may actually run. If she does, I fear it will be the worst political miscalculation of her career. She might be able to win the nomination. However, I see no path for her to win the general election. In the 3 years since she was placed on the ticket with McCain, she has shown an ability to win over the conservative base, but no ability to win over moderate Republicans and independents - two groups she MUST have in order to win the general election. At the moment, she has near 100% name recognition, so people know who she is. Unfortunately, more than 50% of those people have decided that they don't like her. And it is much harder to change the minds of people who already don't like you than to persuade the uncommitted.

She can't even count on having an inspired base against a dispirited opposition. While I have no doubt that Sarah's supporters will cross broken glass to vote foe her, I also have no doubt that she will inspire the same level of fervor in her opponents.

I could be wrong, and if she gets the nomination, I hope that I am wrong. But after more than 40 years of observing presidential politics, I don't see how she can win this cycle. And if she runs now and loses, she will be finished in national politics.

[Adams]

In much the same way Ronald Reagan was “finished” after the 1976 primary?
