“Worried sick”, LOL

Why don’t they come up with an alternative then instead of this silliness? So far no-one has even announced. BLA_BLA_BLA

Sarah should run for RNC chair to cap off the insurgent takeover. She is still young.

[toddausauras]

What a gift, she can run on...”hey America, I’m fighting against BOTH parties for you”.

[MissesBush]

I’m not from Chicago. If the rest of your comment was meant to be insulting, I’m not sure why the need for it. I don’t understand why there’s an expectation that everyone needs to fall in lockstep behind Sarah Palin or else. I think we can do better is all—much better (and no I’m not a Romney supporter either). I think we now have an embarrassment of riches among GOP governors, Congressmen and Senators we could run with including Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, etc. I think re-treads from 2008 are just a recipe for disaster in 2008.

Didn’t we hear this crap about Reagan and how he was an “idiot” and “unelectable”?

I remember Steve Martin had a joke in his stand up routine: “Reagan wants to take this country back to what it was: covered in ice”.

Now they are making the samejokes about Palin.

[GeronL]

So my memory was correct.

I love Sarah and think she could beat Obama, but I also think she's the only one who could also lose. No doubt I'll be flamed for this blasphemy, but I can read polling data. Those independent voters should be heavily in our corner, but nominating her will (rightly or wrongly) drive some substantial portion of them back to Obama. I'm not in this for moral victories. We saw what happened to Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle. Do you want to risk 4 more years of this tyrant?

[MissesBush]

a recipe for disaster in 2012 I meant.

I'd say what I was thinking but this is a family site.

Actually, Palin interjecting herself into the Alaska senate race is proving to be a major miscalculation. Palin proved that she cannot carry water in her own state, which is potentially disqualifying. Contrast that with John Thune — he got Noem across the finish line against the incumbent RAT.

Palin also made a big mistake in getting involved in Delaware as well — both the PA and NJ GOP apparatus are similarly displeased. As am I.

I’ve been watching this from afar. Clearly, someone is behind the push to create some confusion, friction, etc among the republican party over Sarah Palin. They’re taking a non-iossue and hoping it will devide everyone.

Who are these people who ar “Worried Sick?”

I think this is a tempest in a tea pot, and not amounting to nothing more than a ploy to get republicans fighting among themselves.

I’m not convinced she will run.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When the say "GOP" they mean the RINOs who used to control the GOP.

The GOP belongs to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party now.

The RINOs are free to form their own "moderate" third party any time they chose.

I wouldn’t worry if I were you: He’s not going to be the nominee in 2012. It’ll be Hillary, and I could beat her, since she won’t have the black vote.

[ANGGAPO]

Right now I doubt if Palin could win the Presidency. But she would water down any other GOP candidate's chances of winning. Palin has the fire to run all right, but not the depth. Perhaps in another four years?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Unfortunately, Perry and Palin are close friends.
