Examples?

The MSM said Reagan would start a nuclear war.

That was the only card they had in their deck.

With Palin, read my reply above.

According to John Ziegler, it's 60/40 that Palin will run.

The opinions of those “insiders” who say she isn't running since she hasn't built a team yet might just be uninformed as to what she's doing. The recent first leg of her One Nation Tour certainly caught them by surprise.

I would simply take her at her word. Her people are making preparations for a run, so should she decide to declare, she will have a mechanism in place.

My guess (for what it's worth), if another strong Conservative candidate who meets certain prerequisites does declare, then I would lean towards the Governor declining a run. As of now, I don't see anyone else on the horizon.

The public will determine if Palin runs or not.

Wrong. The GOP party establishment will determine if Palin runs or not.

Only if we let them. There are more of us than there are of them and the Tea Party is a force to be reckoned with.

Wrong, Palin will determine whether she runs or not. The GOP will have no say in the matter.

I think the public, or rather her supporters, have already made that determination.

One thing I keep thinking about...This woman is a brilliant politician. I remember her having knowledge of Murkowski reentering the Senate race in Alaska days before anyone else. She has made a couple of comments on how the field is going to change in the next few weeks. I wonder what she knows?

I think that was just her way of saying that she’s going to be in it.

I have a feeling that within a few more months of Obama’s incompetence, the public will be begging Palin to run.

The Summer of malaise of high gas prices and no jobs might seal the deal.

I wish it were a joke. The fact is, Gov. Palin knows that if she does not have a united Party backing her in the general election, she would lose the general election.

Any Republican who would not support HER in the general election should switch parties. She supports the platform, with a few exceptions, I’m sure. The party will be on fire for her if she is the nominee.

You miss the point. Palin is holding off with her decision until she has assurances from the owners of the GOP that the “establishment” will not torpedo her if she wins the nomination. How could you possibly believe tha party will have no say in the matter?

Neither Krauthammer nor Will are social conservatives...and they think anyone who is and is not like them can’t win.

and they are snobs

so why don’t they run?

Krauthammer...I feel sorry for him..it has to suck

Will...Will is the kind of guy we made fun of as kids

It’s a lack of substance,Coming from you, I must stop and think again. I think Sarah Palin is the best in the field and that she can get us through the hard times coming better than anyone else in the running. I'm now reading her book "America By Heart" and I don't sense any lack of substance. She also impresses me as one who can not be bought, and there are few others I would trust like her. Have you read her two books?

We face the most perilous tmes our country has ever faced with huge national debt, a crisis as bad as the Civil War or the Great Depression, and I think Sarah Palin can lead us through this dangerous time better than anyone else. If anyone else better shows up I will be thankful to welcome him or her.

“The party will be on fire for her if she is the nominee.”
Sure, the conservative wing will be, but the progressive wing won’t. Not unless she gets their blessing first will they support her, and even then, reluctantly.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.
