No, that loser Keene’s gone. He was her big hang-up.

Why now? For one thing, she can square it with her conscience, since the jerk who kept putting GOProud at the center of attention has been ousted. He almost succeeded in destroying CPAC by making it into advocacy central for gay activism. I don’t blame Sarah for not saying why she was avoiding the last few conventions, but she was certainly right to do so.

And now that the puke has been cleaned up, hopefully things will be different at the next CPAC convention.

“Santorum or Gingrich endorsement? Something else?”

Yes, something else. In the media hype over picking a presidential nominee, everybody else seems to be forgetting we are also selecting candidates in these primary electios for Senate and House, not to mention statehouses, Governors etc.

My prediction is Palin will continue where she left off in 2010 when her party-building efforts led to the Republican majority in the House and the historic Tea-Party turnaround.

Santorum... I appologize for not having all the bells and whistles the other posters do, yet I do believe in Rick Santorum for our next CIC.

Let’s hope she can set CPAC back on the right path. Pun intended.

I know I'm going to be accused of being a troll, but I simply cannot stay silent here. Sadly, some still want to delude themselves that what Palin has to say now that she's no longer a presidential candidate, still holds has much weight and relevance as it did when she was running. Sorry, but seeing that this was posted at 6:56 pm, and there are a mere 14-15 comments confirms that Palin no longer generates the excitement that she did when she was a potential presidential candidate.

I was a huge Palin supporter, but rejected the notion that she would be as effective as a private citizen, as she was as a potential presidential contender. Doubt me? Ask yourself why the media is no longer going after her? The answer is easy...they NO LONGER SEE HER AS A THREAT AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN.

While i know it won't happen; if she did announce that she changed her mind and decided run, everything would change. Folks would cling onto every word she says.

Just my 2 cents.

I look forward to watching her speech. She’s a brilliant speaker with a valuable message. If only the GOP establishment was on board with her message, we MIGHT be able to salvage our rights and freedoms. Instead, the GOP establishment is her sworn enemy.

Go Sarah! I just WISH you were running for president.

Could be that she doesn’t have quite so many opportunities to nab headlines

Not at all. I think she can really turn up the heat if she wanted to. I believe she has kept a low profile so as not to take attention away from the primary candidates.

In 2009, she initially accepted an invitation to kick off the convention, but then dropped out

And in 2008, Palin cancelled her speech just two weeks before the event

You know, there might just be a pattern here.
Seems like I've heard of her doing things like that before, I just can't recall....

I believe her CPAC speech isn’t about announcing a run for POTUS, it’s about (a) increasing her value for 2016/2020 or (b) increasing her value as VPOTUS 2012.

By hook or by crook, if it’s not (a) or (b), it will be to get air time at the GOP convention this summer. The GOP leadership might not liker her, but they’ll need her. If they snub her at the convention, it will tick off the base. If they BAR her from the convention you’ll get a lot of pissed off people (some of which own powerful radio microphones).

Imagine our Sarah walking amongst the crowd during the convention rallying the troops!!!! If you thought a Palin impersonator as last year’s CPAC was a ruckas, imagine the real thing at the convention!!! Ohhhhhh, that’s gonna make the bigwigs steam.
