Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, in an upcoming appearance on “Piers Morgan Tonight,” says former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

“She’s the type of person that certainly will be controlled by the status quo and the power structure. So she’d make a perfect candidate for them, she’ll do what she’s told,” Mr. Ventura says.

The former Minnesota governor noted Ms. Palin’s reality show and her current contributions on Fox News, saying the Republican Party is “grooming” her.

The former Alaska governor has yet to announce a presidential campaign. Ms. Palin has noted in the past her interest in seeking the nomination.

In making the prediction, Mr. Ventura seemed to overlook two potential candidates from his home state: Rep. Michele Bachmann and former governor Tim Pawlenty. Both Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Pawlenty have noted their intentions to seek the presidency

As for Rep. Bachmann, we don't usually elect House members to the White House (only happened once in a four-way race) and Tiny Tim has the charisma of Henry Gibson or Wally Cox.

Gov. Palin "will do what she's told" he said? Are there two Sarah Palins?

Remember, he was Jesse “The Body” Ventura. He was never known as Jesse “The Brain” Ventura.

Agree on “do what she’s told..” She supported McLame for Senate and dismisses the Obama Birth Certificate issue....

Don’t give me this, “she had to pay McCain back...” ...Sarah brought many millions to his campaign that would not have happened with any other candidate...thath was payback enough.

I couldn’t believe she would not support J.D. Hayworth and here is McCain’s daughter continuously ripping ...and then her loser daughter.....

We can do better than Ms. Palin folks...no women nominees...remember the definition of a misogynist...it is a man that hates women almost as much as women hate women. No conservative woman - with decent looks can win...the old hags, the jealous b*tches will shred her.

I'm relieved that Jesse has weighed in like this.

[chicken head]

i dont see the republican machine loving her to much, after she had alot of them put in jail. shes the best hope this country has got- the rest of the pack are maybe

[lonestar]

He had too many blows to the head.

He's an idiot.

This meat-tube knows as much about Sarah Palin as he does about The Philosophy of Physics. To assert as though it were fact that "She'll do what she's told," and that ""They're grooming her for the nomination right now..." just proves him to be the brain-dead ape that he appears to be on TV.

What a complete numbskull. The GOP are "grooming her" for the nomination? By assaulting her every time they get the chance? Pretty inobvious "grooming" there, Jess. Real "sub-rosa."

Whadda frikkin tool. He's a pathetic joke, and a jealous moron.

“Gov. Palin “will do what she’s told” he said? Are there two Sarah Palins?”

I was thinking the same thing. From what I’ve seen/heard of Palin she is not a follower.

[Rashputin]

Which state was he governor of and how does that state look now that he's been out of office and the effects of his “leadership” can be judged? Anyone care to speak up and defend his record?

[ez]

Right. This pretty much guarantees it won’t happen.

[fwdude]

I know the value of "winnability" for a candidate, and Jesse "the Body" should know more than any that celebrity status and "novelty" in a candidate can go a long way towards the goal. But I wonder why substance in candidates has taken a far back seat for the past several election cycles? I find this a very disturbing trend. After all, it's what gave us zerØ.

Discounting all celebrity and novelty capital, there are very few candidates who have come forward who have what it takes to be president. John Bolton and Mike Pence are two who come to mind. The others, many of who possess great qualities and potential, don't even come close. Sorry, Sarah and Michelle.

Do you guys still get free pizza? What’s the weather like today in Chicago? What’s that job pay?

[Revolting cat!]

Wasn't this his band?

[FreeReign]

Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Pawlenty have noted their intentions to seek the presidency...

I don't recall Bachmann announcing her intentions to run.

Anybody?

What putrid rocks have you guys been hiding under waiting for a Palin thread so you could spew your verbal diarrhea?

We took a poll here on FreeRepublic a couple months ago to see who we wanted for President. Sarah Palin won with 86% of the vote.

If you want to join the "Lie about and smear Palin and her kids" perverts over on KOS, I suggest you make the move sooner rather than later. You're in for some rough sledding here. Just a little underserved, friendly advice to a total smeg-brain.

No, but was this his song?
