They knew it the first time they saw her.
It's why they go insane every time the think of her.

Sarah Palin hasn’t closed the door yet on a presidential bid. But few Republicans appear to be waiting for her answer.
Never was it clearer than Tuesday, when Chris Christie’s announcement that he would not run in 2012 prompted a throng of strategists to conclude the Republican field was finally set – never mind Palin’s indecision. A new poll published on the same day revealed that two thirds of Republicans don’t want her to run.
After spending the better part of three years in the center of the national political spotlight, the former vice presidential candidate appears to have worn out the patience of the GOP.
Even as Republicans continue to cast about for new options, only a distinct minority are gazing longingly toward Wasilla – or wherever else Palin is in her secretive, largely apolitical travel schedule.
“She stirs up a lot of conservatives in the base, but I don’t think conservatives are looking to her as a presidential nominee who can save the conservative movement,” said Chuck Muth, the Nevada-based conservative activist....

Good Point!
We have primaries in 100 days and when will she enter the race? This is getting ridiculous. People have given every damn excuses for not running. Atleast let us get behind the most conservative in the group and stop Romney. If sarah makes people guess, the conservatives are going to be split and give Romney the nomination
None, since she skipped the debates...
And a well paid one at that! One million bucks per year from Fox News alone - much better than that dreary job as Governor she left mid term.

That’s a whole month on October and middle of November. Primaries are in January !
November 13, 1979. Know what happened on that date?
The rest of the field could make her a lot less of a problem by being better. That they aren’t better (and most of them frankly can’t be) is neither her fault nor her supporters’.
Agreed. But why do we have to decide right now instead of, oh, say when the filing deadlines arrive?

LOL. Post of the day!
“November 13, 1979. Know what happened on that date?”
Ummm....was that the date Nancy Pelosi had her 37th face lift?
Just kidding....I know it was the day that Ronald Reagan announced his formal intention to run for the GOP nomination.
Only thing different now is the primaries are more “front loaded;” many states that had primaries in the spring now have them in January or February. So some of the deadlines are earlier now than back then.
That being said, I would never under-estimate Sarah Palin.
I wonder if she plays chess?
Sarah Palin and Herman Cain are my favorites. Either one of them would make a fine president.
:)
With that said, the filing deadlines are fast approaching and if she's serious, Sarah needs to SOGOTP soon.
LOL! That gave me a chuckle!

The Washington elites are entirely clueless. She's written two best-selling books, helped numerous conservative candidates get elected in 2010, drawn supportive crowds wherever she's gone, and made major addresses to conservative organizations. They believe that because she doesn't have the "good-old-boys" type organization that Romney and now Perry have, she's crippled.
The other conservative candidates have risen and fallen in the polls these past couple of months and it shows how mercurial the Republican field is viewed right now. They (meaning the conservatives) are not decided on a candidate just yet while the elites have settled on Romney. I guess we shall see how it all shakes out in the next couple of weeks.
The GOP are nothing but a bunch of spineless, elitist pigs. They've never supported Sarah Palin, not while she was under attack nor while she was on point attacking the Obama regime. I have no use for the GOP establishment elite. My goal is to defeat them along with their Democrat buddies including Obama.
She doesn't have that long -- the early primaries will require her to declare her candidacy before the end of this month. She has three weeks to do it.
Saying she isn’t running isn’t an “attack” on her unless she is actually running. It’s the truth. Right now, she isn’t running. So saying she isn’t running isn’t an attack. Quoting people who say that she isn’t running isn’t an attack.
I am happy that the news media keeps on focusing on her, because she is critical to the conservative movement. We’d all be worse off if the media decided to just ignore her. And even if she announces that she isn’t running, I don’t expect her to go quietly into the night, or to allow the media to ignore her.
To support Herman Cain is not to settle, he is an outstanding candidate who will beat Obama.
Palin would lose because far too many hate her with a passion. They would come out in droves just to vote against her.
Meanwhile, the one new entrant who might have cut into Romney's base, Christie, keeps announcing that he is NOT running. So Romney has the moderate/left field to himself, while conservatives have multiple major and minor, announced and unannounced, choices, and are stubbornly sticking with their own choices and trashing all the others:
"Bachmann is mean and shrilly, Bachmann attacked Palin, Perry is a racist, Cain supports new taxes, Palin isn't running, Perry supports open borders, Bachmann is crazy and retarded, Cain is a race-baiter, Gingrich spends too much time on the couch with Pelosi, Perry loves muslims, Bachmann never served in an executive position, Cain strongly supported TARP, Palin supported TARP, Perry wrote a note to Hillary about health care, Cain supports affirmative action, Bachmann is unelectable, Perry is a RINO, Cain has no government experience, Gingrich had multiple wives, etc., etc., etc.,"
Romney is the luckiest candidate out there right now. He has money, he has the establishment, and yet he actually got away with attacking PERRY as the establishment, with the help of the other conservative candidates who thought it would help them (and it did Cain, who is now the flavor of the week until the media gets through with him).
