I think her dodge on Greta's show last night was just a "head-fake" to throw the wolves off the scent. I believe she will announce her decision to run in 2012 within the next 10 days.
Fire away.
8^D
I hope she doesn’t. Cain has the better qualifications.
And, yes, I count “no previous political experience” as a PLUS for Cain.
Ah. A Facebook poll. Well cinches it.
She will announce after her return from South Korea.
You see??!! It is only ‘sometimes’ when polls are for strippers and skiers. And what could be more accurate than a Facebook poll??!!
Wouldn’t it be great if these were the actual polling numbers that Sarah got from the inner cities, from latino communities, from arab asian and jewish voters, from union workers, government workers, immigrant citizens, and soccer moms?
Seriously, no matter how good an internet-based poll looks, none of them are worth the electrons wasted on them. They are self-selecting and easy to rig.
The actual scientific polls are mostly crap at this stage, and they’re responsible compared to internet polls.
Rush Limbaugh, John Fund, Jim DeMint are all on record saying they have real doubt Sarah Palin will get into the race. I don’t know why they think that, but they have said so publicly. DeMint said so in an interview on FOX; Fund wrote a whole column on it; and Rush said yesterday on his show he doubts she will run. These are three men’s opinions I respect, since they all use their “Inside Baseball” knowledge expertly before weighing in on any given subject. Given their past track record of forecasting so well, I have to think their comments have some basis in some knowledge, and I will assume it has to do with money. Every candidate by this stage of the game has to have a huge bank of big dollar donors behind them; you can’t play catch up now. If they are correct, then it makes you wonder why she’s been bothering thrusting her name and her self into the public eye? Why rent a bus, paint it with the One Nation Theme, and travel everywhere which happens to be a Primary State?
We will know for sure of her decision in the next 30 days. The deadline for inclusion on the ballot for Florida’s January 31 Primary is October 31st. Unless she decides to forego that Primary and try to get in at some point later - which won’t help her at all. So she’s got 30 days to shore up what no one sees in existence now: a structure of a campaign plan; a staff; and $$$. If Limbaugh, Fund and DeMint are right it’s likely because they can see the money just isn’t there for her (and I’m not speaking of individual contributions - I’m talking about the large financial backers to underwrite the huge expenses of a campaign).
