Oh no the RINOS hate her, Sarah, wear that with a badge of honor!
More wishing and hoping here. Rush says it will be a tsunami when Sarah runs. The current bunch are not all that exciting are they?
I don’t know if she is going to run, but if she does not someone else better step up quick. The current straw-men candidates are not going to cut it. I don’t even have any idea as to who it should be, but there has to be someone.
“Scott Reed, a top Republican political consultant and former campaign manager for Bob Dole in his 1996 White House bid.”
Backed Dole? Nevermind.
“What they do...
“...They’re smilin’ in your face
“All the time they wanna take your place
“The backstabbers (backstabbers)!”
I laugh at the names the article lists
START? I will say one thing: Sarah has until the end of September, or she should forget about it. Bob
Why should I care about the opinion of someone who actually has no idea how to win a national election?
Well, he ran the Dole campaign!
Every word he speaks is therefore to be highly respected!
“Why worry so much about someone who “can’t win” and has no organization built?”
Exactly. It’s starting to get old, RINOs. Grow up - you’re acting like the other ‘party’ you criticize all the time.
Great! What a day... First it's “she sniffed cocaine off oil drum lids and had an affairs with an NBA player", and now they’re accusing her of taking part in wet t-shirt contests?
Lot more of these articles over the past several days. Wonder if people are still sitting on money waiting for her decision...
Shame that Scott guy didn’t advise Dole not to run. I went to the polls and was the only one there other than the poll workers.
If she runs I will vote for her over any of the present list of candidates.
Two mornings in recent history I’ll never forget:
1- 9/11 when I woke up to a TV news screen of smoke coming from the first tower.
2- The morning I logged on to Freerepublic and virtually every post for several pages was about Sarah Palin being picked as John McCain’s running mate. I wish I had saved a shot, because I can’t seem to find it on the internet archive time machine.
Both events have had immense consequences. If and when Sarah jumps in, it will be interesting to see a repeat of all Sarah posts on Free Republic.
They were and probably still are PRAYING for Mitt for BusinessAsUsualInDC. I strongly suspect the establishment GOP realized about a year ago that Mitt just was not going to really catch fire and started looking around for a replacement and presto! Gov. Perry became a trash-talkn' ruf-tuf conservative that left long time Texans wondering who this new Rick Perry was.
Now we see that very same gang of establishment GOP cronies proclaiming a smart campaign is "a strong signal that she is not running."
Really? Such powers of divination! They must clean house in Vegas, right?
And amongst the uproar, predictions, signals, knowledgeable opinions, experts, anonymous insiders, etc, the one source not quoted is, well, the source.
Governor Palin has clearly stated her intentions.
Even Hillbuzz can find it.
Based on filing requirement deadlines as I understand them, Governor Palin technically has until November 11th at 5pm to announce her campaign for the presidency (this being the latest she could submit her paperwork and the $35,000 filing fee for the South Carolina primary, which is the earliest filing deadline of any of the caucuses or primaries that will determine the ultimate Republican nominee).
The Governor, however, has promised to let her supporters know her intentions definitively by the end of September.
Or how about here...
Palin has said she is considering entering the race for the 2012 GOP nomination, already under way in Iowa, which holds the first nominating caucus, and other early-voting states. She has said she expects to make a decision by the end of September, and is not expected to disclose her plans during her speech Saturday at a tea party rally in a town south of Des Moines.

Apparently there are some that are getting impatient. Whether you are supporting or throwing rocks will not change anything. Gov. Palin said "by the end of September."
On a "predictive" note, Gov. Palin indicated she is attending the World Knowledge Forum, which runs from Oct. 11 to 13 and is expected to discuss US leadership in the midst of global economic turmoil. Other speakers include former British prime minister Gordon Brown and Larry Summers, ex-director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council.
Given that an announcement of active candidacy prior to that would cause quite a stir and a reasonable expectation would be numerous public appearances around the U.S. the "end of September" time-frame settles in quite nicely.
The decision to run is hers but I would think attending the World Knowledge Forum as a candidate would present an outstanding opportunity to contrast herself against Larry Summers, ex-director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council.
Then BuckeyeTexan clued me in on David Brody / Gov. Palin and a direct question on the time-frame.
David Brody: Is that short order by the end of September? October?
Palin: I think that that is a fair time line for people, because Fall time, they can start getting engaged with different campaigns, but still thinking about it, and really, really desiring to be a participant in the positive change that needs to happen in this country.
Of course, direct quotes from interviews with Gov. Palin will not deter the folks that want to obfuscate a clear choice for real reform of the fed gov.
I just don't understand why folks will promote winning with a very questionable candidate vs. winning with a proven reformer. No one seemed to have a problem understanding what little bammy and the donks did with ObammyCare when THEY had the upper hand with majorities in both Houses and the Presidency.
The donks are so weak now unnamed generic "republican" candidates are besting little bammy. In such a winning environment why would one not want to win with a candidate that has a documented record of addressing the glaring problem... we need to clean house on BOTH sides of the isle which in many instances includes that very same gang of establishment GOP cronies.
So...
September - October.

It’s The Guardian. Consider the source. Not saying the RINOs aren’t doing it, but the Guardian routinely turns a kiss on the cheek into a gang rape if conservatives are involved.
