I have half the amount saved and set aside for her.
Just waiting for her announcement!
Positively Palin

Within the ever shifting landscape of the Republican presidential candidate pool has been a constant that is both the best and the worst kept secret of the 2012 general election cycle. That secret is whether or not Sarah Palin will throw her hat into the ring as a candidate for president this time out. As I have written in my previous pieces, “Revelation: The Arc of the Candidate,” “Sarah Inches Closer,” and “What Really Makes Sarah Special,” I believe her running for president in 2012 is and has for some time been a fait accompli.
Ceteris parabus, fortis fortuit brava
That’s Latin for, “All other things being equal, fortune favors the strong.” Never in the pantheon of American politics has there been quite so unjustly vilified or viciously set-upon a heroine as Sarah Palin. The digs, insults, attacks, and attempts at personal character assassination that this woman and her lovely family have endured since her being named as John McCain’s running mate three years ago transcend, or should I say, sink well below—by an order of magnitude—the vileness heaped upon any other candidate in the rough-and-tumble history of American politics.
Yet there she stands; strong, vibrant even, and smiling, always smiling. Unfazed by the very worst that the immoral, soulless Liberal Left and terrified RINO Right could hurl at her with the all-too-willing aid of a complicit lapdog media. Even absent her amazing record in Alaska as Governor, this remarkable woman is strength personified, a spine of steel with a heart of gold. Sarah Palin is perhaps the most gifted natural-born leader this country has ever known, certainly in the last hundred years.
Which brings us to September 3, 2011 in Indianola Iowa, which will mark the three-year anniversary of her having been chosen by John McCain, and her having spoken at the Republican National Convention that night when America was first riveted by this ever-ascending superstar. Organizers for this September 3rd event have already had to change the venue to the Wells Fargo Arena to try to accommodate the masses who will descend upon the Des Moines area for this once-in-a-lifetime historical event. Good luck. Best estimates so far are that scores, and more likely hundreds of buses of avid Palin supporters from all across America have already made plans to be there, to witness in person the kickoff of next “fundamental transformation” of the United States of America.
Sarah Palin is both brilliant and caring. She is aware of just how passionately her supporters cling to the hope that she will offer herself up in service to set this great nation aright. I don’t believe Sarah has it in her to allow all these people to travel all this distance only to be disappointed. I believe September 3rd is the day that the bright sunshine of hope bursts forth once again across this great land. This, I believe with all my heart, will be the day Sarah Palen announces her candidacy for president in 2012.
When, Not "If."
While there doubtless were extremely valid reasons why she might have chosen not to run this time out, I honestly believe that underneath it all she knew that she could no more avoid this fate than can the sun choose to not rise in the east on any given morning. This great secret about whether she will run has actually been a question all along of when, not if, she will offically announce. And of course therein lies an even greater truth.
When Sarah announces, life as we know it in this country, at least as we have known it for the past nearly three years, changes. Her announcement will be the equivalent of a political earthquake measuring twenty on the one-to-ten Richter scale. Many of the existing Republican candidates will drop out automatically, knowing that their continued candidacy is just a pointless waste of their and our time and money. Others who were planning to announce will start looking for work elsewhere. Sarah’s campaign coffers will explode with donations, probably in the tens of millions, as her millions of ardent supporters across America cut loose with a tidal wave of funding put aside for just this moment of moments.
On a recent call-in radio talk show from the heartland I heard a Sarah supporter telling the DJ that he had already booked a hotel room in the Des Moines area, believing in his heart that this would be the day Sarah would announce her candidacy. He made it clear that this was for him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see earthshaking, headline making history being made. Liberal heads from the upper East side of Manhattan to Union Square in San Francisco will explode in unison. Chris Matthews will forever lose his tingle. Republican and Democrat agitprop agents provocateur will begin a fevered scurrying, trying to come up with some new barb or arrow to fling at this Teflon Terror from Wasilla.
I could be wrong, but I’m not. As I state in “Revelation: The Arc of the Candidate,” the White House lies smack dab in the middle of the political path Sarah Palin has been on for the past two decades. This will only come as a surprise to those who really know nothing about her. It will however, come as an historic moment of shock and awe for every living American as we watch the beginning of the rebirth of the greatest nation in the history of all mankind. As we watch our rising star light up the future of our nation for the generations to come, and as we see America set back on her path of Manifest Destiny, to shine as a beacon of prosperity, hope and freedom to all the nations of the world.
When, not if. After all, this is still America.
That is all we conservatives have to do, beat you guys in the primary, Reagan in a skirt can handle Obama.
“I could be wrong....”
Worry not, you are.
I guess we will see.
Sarah is appearing with Glenn Beck somewhere, in October. I don’t think she would declare before that event.
O'Bungwad is gonna be crapping puppies. LMAO!!!!
8^D
Rest easy, boot... the tens-of-millions of us with clear eyes and firm minds will more than counter-balance your debilitating infirmities.
;^\
Sarah didn’t say Hillary would be a good President. She said Hillary would be MORE Presidential than Hussein. That’s a low, LOW bar for Hillary to meet.
;^\
It is that demographic where she scores the highest. Put down the psilocyben.
"...if she runs now and loses, she will be finished in national politics."
Wow. You're only like the six-millionth fudge-chunk to trot out that inane slop. Do you know, or even care, how many thoroughly-now-discredited diaper toads have predicted her impending "political demise" over the years?
Here's a clue: The last biggest raft of them to wash over the waterfall en masse jumped on that rotted bandwagon the day she left the Governorship to face down her attackers. Nobody remembers them any more, either...
(_8(|) ... ...Doh!
Somewhere behind a locked door, within a darkened closet, the unmistakable sound of finger bones clawing at the walls within.
Painful moans and faint screams can be heard echoing from this dark place of anguish and regret.
Suffering from the final throes of PDS, pissant pleads for relief from his haunting visions of the “evil princess”. ;>)

You honestly think people will reelect the 0bama train wreck for 4 more years?
People DON’T really know her. She was “handled” by McCain’s staff so tightly she never had a chance to show the country who she was.
The press has also done an adequate job of giving people the wrong impression about her. Someone with an approval number as high as she had in AK just has to bypass the press and let the people get to know her. That’s what campaigns do. There are many venues for that, including ads, debates, and appearances. Coverage of her tour has been pretty fair, actually. Mostly because she’s been available and answered the questions the press has put to her.
0bama’s base is completely demoralized and their turnout will be much lower. The Independents that went so heavily for him are trending to the right and the majority of the youth won’t even bother.
For someone who’s observed politics for 40 years, I’m surprised you don’t remember when Reagan ran. He couldn’t win either. Politics wasn’t as dirty then so there wasn’t the vitriol but she won’t sink herself to that level and that will be in her favor. America is desperate for positive reminders of our exceptionalism. 0bama feels like a dark cloud hanging over the country. My guess is people are sick of it.

>>such as will my Palin for President t-shirt arrive before I make the long drive to Iowa next week?<<
My kids got me one for Christmas in 2009! They thought it was funny. Not laughing now.
“I will stuff nothing. fr is the place for answers to questions.”
Then ask a question that’s worthy of an answer. Your *question* wasn’t a question just because it had a question mark after it. It was a snide, rude remark, a gratuitous slap at something you took completely out of context.
“Your stupid comment does nothing to move the conversation forward”
If my comment was so stupid, why did you feel the irresistable need to reply to it? I should think that someone of your superior intellect would simply bypass stupid...unless your intention from your first post on was to disrupt and pick silly arguments for no reason at all other than you could. It really didn’t occur to me that you were in any way trying to have a conversation, let alone move it forward. Hence the reply.
“and its more worthy for a place like the democratic underground.”
Why do the most disruptive and ignorant posters use du as a shield? As long as I have been here, I have never once said such a thing to anyone, even to some of the more nasty posts I have read on many, many threads. Seems to me accusing someone of being better suited to du is the default position of those who actually use du tactics to attack other Freepers...for no reason except to elicit a like response.
Sorry to disappoint you. .

All I can say is..awesome.
LOL. Watch out...incomming!
Hillary IS more Presidential than Obama.
Hell, there are guys who sit round all day in their underpants yelling at the TV who are more Presidential than Obama.
It's a sliding scale. Hillary is at the wrong end, but she's not right at the end.
Politics wasn’t as dirty then so there wasn’t the vitriol
The Left in both US and UK were just as dirty and unprincipled back then. The difference today is that the mask has come off and we get to experience more of the Left's sick hate and despair. Their time is short.
