So if she doesn’t run do we eat our own like last time so that the weakest possible candidate will get the nomination or do we coalesce around a candidate that might not be perfect, but can beat Obama?
So what. The number one seed gives herself a bye...
The NBC debate is a joke. Who wants to watch these second raters being grilled and and laughed at by the lefties . Stupid move , but whats new .
Interesting. I am very interested in whom Sarah Palin ends up supporting. Very.
I support her candidacy, assuming there is one, but I will not support her nomination, or vote for it, until I see her perform well in a debate against someone a LOT smarter than Biden!
bttt
The first debate is in May, seriously?

The self promoting publicity tours of Palin and Hannity under the guise of doing it for the charity case troops , demean the sacrifices of our military.
I never lost an election when I held public office. One of my three unbreakable campaign stump rules was "go where your votes are and blow off the rest".

Myth - lol!
If she runs, we will see a campaign like not other. Maybe the theme song will be Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”...
Nope!
Just Chris Mathews & Jonathan Allen complaining to each other.....
Why the F is Brian Williams or Politico NEAR the GOP?
These are committed Leftist Organizations, why do we always take the bait when the SOFTBALLS are lofted at the Kenyan and the Libs?
This whole May 2 “debate” is an attempt to draw out the contenders too early so they can be savaged by the press, and Politico and NBC will just be the start of it.
I think staying away from it would be the smart move for any of the supposed “top tier” candidates. (Except Romney, for whom this is tailor-made to coronate, of course.)
does it also mean those potential candidates who don’t go to THIS debate aren’t serious about running either?
Um. My understanding is that the gov isn’t the only candidate blowing that thing off. Are the other candidates unpresidential now, too?
See!!! She's a Commie! /pissant
Since when has Gov. Palin been conventional? If she decides to enter, it will be at a time of HER choosing, not NBC or Politico’s choosing.
Debates(pissing matches) this early in the campaign is a total waste of Palin’s time. She doesn’t need the exposure and it only serves to elevate the stature of a bunch of wannabe president candidates.
Sarah Palin is a different kind of politician so folks shouldn’t be expecting her to follow the old GOP/MSM playbook.
This is a trap, designed to give Republicans a chance to destroy each other in public. They will have no Dem candidate to attack, demean or belittle so they will have to eat their own, just as the dems did in their primary against Bush’s second term. This will be a source of many leads for the left’s “Opposition Research” teams and it won’t cost them a dime. Any serious contender who shows up is, in my studied opinion, really not smart enough to be president.
Q: Mr Gingrich, do you still screw around on your wife, and what do you think about that stuff in the Middle east?
Q: Mr DeMint, our polls show that 99% of Americans think you hate minorities, and why don’t you support the president’s well thought out plan to balance the budget by July?
Q: Mr Romney, how can you call yourself a real Mormon when you only have one wife? It’s not like you can’t afford it, you rich bastard.
NBC and Politico?
Wake up, people!
why should Palin help others get exposure when she can appear anywhere on her own to speak on issues she wants to address and get all the coverage she wants.
