Biggest 2012 Political Shocker Now Would Be Palin Not Running for President
Yahoo! News / Associated Content ^ | May 23, 2011 | Saul Relative

Sarah Palin, the politician that the media loves to cover ad nauseum, will most likely announce her candidacy for president sometime in the near future (some are saying she may wait until September).

Everything seems to be falling her way of late, or at least it appears that way when looking at how things are shaping up within the field of potential candidates in the Republican Party. It is almost as if Fate were stepping in to take a hand in positioning things just right for the former governor of Alaska...

How so? Just take a look at several major events concerning the field of potential GOP candidates that happened within the past two weeks. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, frontrunner for the nomination in most national polls, announced he would not seek the presidency. Two days later, business mogul Donald Trump, who had been running neck-and-neck with the Republican leaders but was showing signs of faltering due to his affiliation with the birther movement, followed suit. Sandwiched in between those two events was former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's seeming verbal hari-kiri -- he labeled Rep. Paul Ryan's House-approved Medicare restructuring plans "radical" and called it "social engineering" -- on NBC's "Meet The Press."

At the same time, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is having difficulty selling his state health care program (one he endorsed and signed into law when he was governor of the state) as different from the much-maligned (within the Republican Party) Health Care Reform implemented by the Obama administration, which is undoubtedly having an effect on Romney's standing in the polls.....

Would that be the same God that had a hand in giving the Country Obama as it's leader?

It took a Carter to get a Reagan

it’s taking an Obama to get a Palin.

Go Sarah!

LOL! Political shocker - You meant the 24/7 trashing of Sarah and her family for 2.5 years didn’t work? You meant the MSM failed big time? What’s the matter with Americans, don’t they know the media only wants whats best for them?/s

GO SARAH!! The only fighter in the race!

Palin and Bachmann should run on a ticket. Their slogan could be, “the men fonged it up enough. Now let the women have a crack at it.”

"Bush at the top AND bottom of the ticket!"

I love'm both but that's funny.

It is Cain or Palin.

I want to have my cake and eat it, too.

Why not both?

The only reason he was popular at all was because he was the only one talking about the BC.

Yeah, I quit reading at that point. If the author is either that politically inept or that intellectually dishonest, the rest of his article is worthless.

Yes. Jesus said it. No one has authority but that receives it from God. That leaves us to wonder why sometimes our rulers are good and sometimes not so good. In America, we have more than the usual amount of culpability for evil leaders. We choose them. Yet God gives us what we deserve. I pray he forgives us our sin and grants us a leader who will be faithful to our founding principles and the good they represent. Right now, that's what I see in Sarah. God does rule the affairs of mankind, but he ordains the means as well as the ends, and we must work for the results we want. That is why, though I do see God helping her, I will also do everything I can to bring it to pass.

I'm starting to see the hand of Providence in all this,

About this time of year in 1944, millions of people were discussing Fortress Europe, Ike and the allies, and pondering the existence and possibilities of what would become known as D-Day, Operation Overlord, and Operations Fortitude North and South.

The trashing will never stop.
It’s a blood sport.
That’s part of why we pray and that’s part of why she will win.

AMEN!!

Isaiah 54:17 “no weapon forged against you (Sarah) will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from Me,” declares the LORD.

I’m waiting for the day she announces and I will be turning into all shows, media to watch their reactions. They’ve tried so hard to dissuade her and tell us she has no chance. It will show they knew better all along when you see their reactions when she announces. She is a God send and our country has needed someone to force the media to take accountability along with the Demonrats and their time will come when people are forced to look in the mirror and realize what they’ve done and their ignorance. She will not let up and it’s been needed. The Demonrat party could be destroyed when you expose them. Obama will not be able to handle the scrutiny Palin is going to put on him. It’s about time.

A right on post and a good idea - that one day will be set aside to watch the diaper babies cry and give advice to the GOP and voters how Sarah can’t win.

That’s why they spent 30 months trashing her because she is not winnable. LOL!!

Jeb is part of the Newt/Mitt team - the 3 announced together it’s the end of the Reagan Era. With them, yes it is but not with SARAH - she is FOR our country. Sorry Jeb - go home to mama.
