A Republican who is not currently running for president could enter the race later?

What night does she address the convention?
She said:
“You know the endorsement that I’m most interested in?” Palin asked. “Ron Paul’s, to tell you the truth.” Palin said she didn’t agree with Paul’s foreign policy, pointing out that he wasn’t even invited to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s summit this week. But she said that he was “absolutely right on” when it comes to his stand on domestic spending issues. “He’s the one that Americans need to listen to when it comes to dealing in reality about this bankrupt path that we are on,” she said.
And I don't see how anyone that isn't a big-government Republican can argue with that.
Nothing speaks as loudly as a veiled threat accompanied by money; I’m quite sure she was “persuaded” it was in the best interest of her and her family’s “future” while at the same time being “gifted” to drive the point home.
Boehnor was here in Cincinnati last night at a private event and he said that he “believes” the nomination will be coming out of a brokered convention and that the establishment will try to convince Christie to be the compromise candidate. Tells me the establsishment is quietly acknowledging amongst themselves that Mittens is not going to win it outright.
You are a cynic. How about just the plain old truth....She and her family prayed about how she could be most effective and what God would have her do.....She got the answer and followed accordingly. Why is that so darned hard for people to believe? Oh yeah, maybe because you never do that in your own life. More is the shame
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? Why do you not believe her when she says this is not they way God has led her? Are you so devoid of a believer’s life that you cannot think that anyone would follow what God would have them do?
The establishment Republicans will attempt to steal the nomination from the conservatives if they have to. It wouldn’t be the first time.
One such instance was documented in the book “A Choice Not An Echo”.
The ‘deal killer’ in her past was her husband and children. Since the press have already eviscerated her, they would have moved on to her family.
So, the RNC is going to give us Bobby Bacala's twin from the Soprano's... You have got to be ******* me...
I can hold my nose for Newt, but if it is Christie, I write in Sarah. He is good for NJ, no way is he ready or right for POTUS...
’ not “
IMHO you are correct-to-mundo...
* Sarah said the family was 50/50 prior to her nixing it.
* Something tipped it, maybe her older girls didn't want to have lives in the microscope and they would have been the evil left's primary wedge point.
* To the gent who said she was bought off, I can't believe she can be.
* In terms of divine intervention, if any thing she got the message that we are not worthy enough or her yet. Seriously, I think we will go through way more turmoil than you can even imagine before Amerika wakes up and see's what she brings to the table in terms of her Conservatism and her presence. No I don't worship her and she isn't a saint, but even a heathen like me see's things others don't...
No matter how much people love her, support and want her to be President, they cannot shield her or her family from what the DNC, the MSM, Soros and Obama would do to them.
How screwy you are here. Based on your own words you are being a cynic yourself. Actually more cynical since you have no basis for your comments regarding me. My comments regarding Palin, on the other hand, are based on HER actions over a long period of time. Based on he very very public words and deeds.
Palin was playing in the political sand box. Big time. Her stopping two steps from the primary finish line begs for political analysis. Mine is that she has something she needs to keep in the closet. I'd love to be wrong and she can prove it by jumping in to the race. But she won't be doing that. I know the moment Perry jumped in that Palin was never going to run.
There’s this wonderful thing called the write-in line.
Glad to know that you consider yourself omniscient
I’d ask you to keep that to yourself but, of course, I already know what you will do....
