However, leave it to the Palinista Paranoia Patrol to conclude that those FReepers were RINO trolls and Romneybots - and also to see a RINO conspiracy in the Tea Party request.

I guess I have no idea as to the motivations of anyone recommending her for the job. I would not like to see it happen because the responsibilities of the RNC chairperson are to advance the party in the direction the most ardent members want to take it. Other than hubris that may have been Steele's problem.

I want to see us take the party back. Then the chair can simply follow us.

Palin should be the leader of a movement. The party chairman isn't really the leader of the party.

Yes I agree with you on that.

Sarah is savvy though, and I think she realized it would be a self inflicted wound to run for that RNC position, or even accept it should she be selected for it, because it would be the most current, and overriding event in her career marginalizing to history her more important successes.

It’s a dangerous game, and her awareness of it is commendable in itself.

Agreed,...her talents would do far better elsewhere...certainly not as a political fundraiser. I say just let her go the route she wants to go...and if it’s Washington, in any capacity, I will be in her court.

Is someone trying to sideline her?

Big time and those that are doing that are running scared and I am enjoying every minute of it. The democrat party is cracking and the RINOs are gonna have to chose sides. The line is drawn. Keep it up Sarah. We got your back.

No way. Put Mittens there, and sideline him.

Or big mouth Huckabee.

But Sarah is President No. 45.

Like another President I admire, she has a rendevous with destiny.

I think that sidelining her is exactly what they tried to do.

Sarah Palin is the front runner to be the nominee for POTUS. This article is just one more effort to split the Conservative movement. Can’t you see that? We won the house back in large part due to the TEA party movement and Sarah Palin is a champion of our movement. Run Sarah, Run. Do you want me to tell you of her readiness and qualifications to be POTUS?

Yep, it was clearly another trap.

It was a sincere request for her to become RNC Chairman. She didn’t want the position. Period.

What a great answer she gave. Lordy, I love that woman.

She gave the polite and correct answer. What was she supposed to do? Give the honest, but rude and tacky answer?
