Ronald Reagan on running for president:

“As I rode my horse, Little Man, around Rancho del Cielo during the spring of 1975, I thought a lot about the lost vision of our founding fathers and the importance of recapturing it and the voices from around the country who were pressing me to run for president. And I remembered something I’d said many years before: A candidate doesn’t make the decision whether to run for president; the people make it for him.”

An American Life by Ronald Reagan Page 199

Too late. South Carolina’s filing deadline is Tuesday, New Hampshire right after that. The field in front of us is the field we have.

She said “No”, leave it.

Rather see her as VP alongside Cain. She’ll be a popular addition to a ticket with the only conservative candidate, and 8yrs of VP experience will put her in an excellent position to run for POTUS.

Good grief. Some people just can’t buy a clue. Sarah Palin is not running for POTUS, no matter how sanctified you believe she is.

A dumb idea. She would have done a great job; but she has taken herself out.
We need to move on.

What don't you understand about "NO" ? Sarah said, "NO."

Actually I haven't seen much of Sarah since she said, "NO."

If Romney is the nominee come next November, I’m going to “write in” Palin! Hell, I might very well write her name in regardless of the GOP nominee.

She would make a fine president, but in 2012 she would have a hard time winning.

She’s still young. She can run in 2016, 2020, 2024 or even 2028, assuming there is still an America and we still have elections.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What’s that you say, Mrs. Palin
Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Never Give Up, Never Surrender. It’s still a year away from the election. Things could change.

The day Mitt makes his acceptance speech you might just wish she was running.

Wonderful, true, heart touching.

We need Sarah. Badly. They would and will handicap her at every turn, the medias will carry the liberal progressive lies as truth, at her every word, deed action, and accuse her of many misdeeds

The exact opposite of Obama’s treatment that is oohed and awed daily, re: his every word. Anti American activity over and over, his bringing America to the brink of collapse,and a changed world. And he says he still has over 40% left to do. Imagine how awful the rest might be.

This is a monster of a terrible situation. We are experiencing.

Sincere Prayers of believers in the power and truth of Jehovah and his Son Jesus are needed to turn this ship of state back around and restored to a prosperous and free land and country, in Jesus name amen. Thank Thee LORD for hearing our prayers.

God can and does do anything he chooses.

NO, it is too late, all she would do now is help Romney.
