Lots of folks are still wondering whether Sarah Palin is going to jump into the 2012 Republican presidential campaign.
But if she really wants to make history, I have a bigger and better idea for her.
First of all, let's explore her options.
If Sarah Palin ran as a Republican candidate in a crowded field, she might win. Then again, she might not. She would be a late entry. Much of the big money needed to win is already committed. She would add some excitement to the GOP race, but she might not stand out all that much.
Only one Republican is going to get to face off with Barack Obama in 2012, and I can hardly count the number of contenders for that opportunity right now. She'd be a frontrunner for sure, but her tea-party base is already eyeing other candidates.
However, there is something Sarah Palin could do right now that would be truly radical – and, at the very least, bloody Barack Obama so badly he wouldn't have a hope of beating the Republican nominee.
What's that?
Brace yourself for a crazy idea.
Sarah Palin should reregister as a Democrat and announce her intention of seeking the Democratic Party nomination in 2012 over Barack Obama!
Crazy? I told you it was crazy.
But think about it.
How many Republicans nationwide would reregister as Democrats right along with her – temporarily – to support such a bold, unprecedented political move?

To watch the Dims twist themselves in knots and waste tons of campaign cash would be worth it IMO. The icing on the cake would be watching the democrats chuck the popular vote via the super delegate option.
Not to mention turn about is fair play til they change the rules. Dims crossed over in massive #s to stick us w/ McLame.
Farah just looking for attention.
It could be fun.
I would join you, and her.
Farah...lay off the weed, man. Turkey is talking about war, Palis are trying to get UN approval and you have to waste time putting out this crap?
“The way Palin can beat Obama is by running. Period.”
good idea! I hope that’s part of her campaign strategy.
Farah is smoking sumthin’ rare. It must be a beautiful world he is in right now. Lucy in the sky...
The REALLY BIG MONEY is waiting for Sarah to announce her decision. It may be in individual smaller amounts, but it will swamp everyone else if she gets into the race. Not even Obama will be able to match her fundraising. Who is going to contribute to Obama knowing he is going to lose by a very large margin.
Oh good grief. Policies, not political games is what one wins on.
Not really. They're helping the economy, by creating or keeping bazillions of jobs in the professional political parasite industry. That's a good thing, right? I'm so conflicted ...
me may be nuts, but that would be just hilarious if she ran as a democRAT. to watch the libtards minds explode would be too delicious.
Too cute by more than half.
There are entirely too many people trying to run her campaign for her who are not necessarily as smart as she is. And you can set that particular bar as low as you like and it’s still true.
Obama had nearly a billion to spend in 2008. Do you really and truly think that money was all raised legally? Google his Connecticutt SSN and George Soros.
Well, not really. Game theory applies to pretty much everything where human psychology controls the outcome, and that most definitely includes politics.
Not that you have a bad idea. I'd love a totally automated government, in some arbitrarily advanced future, where you don't elect a person, but a set of policies. I can see it now. You go to the polling booth, and instead of names, you have long lists of polices. You check off the ones you want, and the "Guvotron" master computer puts the winning policies all into effect, more or less instantly, all the way down to the regulatory level, automatically resolving all inconsistencies. Cost effective. No corruption. No crony capitalism. No Boehner Barrier in the representation process. No chance of a Marxist takeover, ever. Or anything else taking over. Ever. Really perfect. Except for when the system starts calling everybody "Dave."
“... they are not only supporting Rick Perry they have put up a substantial amount of money for Perry. “ <<<
I would have guessed Romney. Why do you think they chose Perry? The momentum, I suppose?
Exactly. Gov. Perry is sucking up money from Establishment sources as he his establishment GOP all the way. All the bs about GOP and Gov. Perry being at odds appears to be smokescreen as the money sources indicate.
Gov. Palin will get money from millions of individual citizens.
Given that MSM and most other press go absolutely wobbly when Gov. Palin so much as sets foot in bus or appears in public, she just will not need as much and what she does expend will be cycled again and again in the press.
This will be interesting.
Fire hosing money into propaganda or giving American Citizens common sense solutions. Which will work better?
.
My checkbook is at the ready....
She could not win, of course, but chaos II would be funny.
Besides, I have not found a rep. candidate I could support who has a chance of winning the nomination.
I truly like and admire Joe Farah. Unfortunately, on this one, he has cracked. Even more unfortunately, the respondents of his poll are mostly in AGREEMENT with him. WND is a great ite, but this is beyond silly. Bob
