If they lose even a portion of the black vote, they're sunk.

This independent turned Republican (strictly to support Palin in the 2012 primary) aim to see her as the nominee and next president.

I put the odds at 1 in a million.

I dont doubt Hillary is still interested, but I simply cannot see the Republican party nominating Palin. If she runs, the media will destroy her in the states where the dems can cross over and vote in primaries.

Sarah is too polarizing a figure. Like her or not, they would wipe the floor with her. She is smart enough to know that.

I’ve been predicting that Hillary will announce her resignation some time before the November election.

Palin would never get elected.

They’ve been trying to destroy her 24/7 since the day she was nominated for the vice presidency. It’s not working. She is MUCH stronger now than she was in September 2008.

Go ahead and report back that you convinced us not to support her. We’re all 200% behind Mitt Romney, as your masters wish...

This is the match up I’ve been predicting. I hope it happens. You think the Leftists went ape-doody when Palin ran for VeeP? That’s nothing compared to what you’ll see in 2012! The 2012 election will be have some major fireworks so get your popcorn, nachos, beer, and carbonated, liquid beverages and anything else that will make it more fun!

Would a Romney-Palin ticket do it?

If I was reporting to some random person as you suggest, and actually thought she wouldn’t get elected, don’t you think I’d be pushing people to run her in the primary elections?

Idiot.

No, they fear her. The flop sweat is nauseating when they write their diatribes and rants.

Actually, the Dems will cross over and vote for her in the primaries where they can because they think she’s a pushover, the fools.

I dont disagree, but you also have to admit that we pay WAY more attention than the average bear.

If she runs, expect the full force of the media blitz to come on. They will make her out to the the politician “who’s name must not be mentioned.”

Very doubtful Hillary or Palin will run. Palin is very smart, a quick study for certain, but she can not compete intellectually against historians, nor will her rather local experience pass muster in times such as these. These are the very reasons she will not run, but it is reported that she would be a heavy hitter to replace Steele to head the national republican party.

THAT is much more likely.

Don't count Sarah Palin out. The media has been trying to destroy her for nearly two years. She has out maneuvered them. She developed a method of getting her message unfiltered via Facebook and is 70,000 away from two million followers.

Through her own campaign, Palin will have the opportunity to speak directly to American voters. 70% may discover they agree with her on 90% of the issues.

I perceive you don't realize the responsibilities (and limitations) of being RNC chair. The RNC chair hardly has “carte blanch” power to change the GOP.

Sarah Palin will NEVER be RNC chair (although it's the wet dream of most RINOs as a means of destroying her). The RNC chair has one vote and the country club RINOs on the RNC would be working to bury her from day 1.

She wields far more power as Sarah Palin, particularly if a number of her Mama Grizzlies and Papa bears get elected.

Only if you want to piss off all of his supporters and all of her's as well.

Clinton will run only if Obama announces he’s not running. She won’t challenge a sitting president for the primaries. And I expect Obama will run again.
