Washington, DC -- Sarah Palin become an overnight rock star on the conservative side of the political spectrum and motivated pro-life voters who were anemic in their support of John McCain. Hours after McCain's election loss, the Alaska governor demurred on her own potential presidential bid in 2012.

AGREED.

THX.

I went out this morning and took a knife to my 4ft by 3ft sign.Now it only says PALIN.The rest went in the trash.My neighbors love it.I will let it stand for as long as need be.

AGREE WITH CHURCHILL ABOUT NEVER GIVING UP.

However, priorities are priorities.

Futility is futility.

It’s conceivable that some good people could get elected in an election in 2010. But I’m skeptical even about that.

And, even if I were interested in running for something nationally. Would I really feel comfortable being a low ranked team lead on the Titanic?

Congress is consumed by the globalist machine.

And, I personally expect the terrorists to strike there hard when they are in session.

Wish I had more wonderful options in mind in such matters . . .

Just don’t see it.

Would like to.

Seems to me that before or shortly after or at 2012, the AC and company will be overtly on the scene.

IF THAT’S TRUE . . .

I called the rnc this morning and told them to take me off of their mailing and calling lists. F’em. Sarah was the only reason I donated to them. McCain is a LOSER.

Without Sarah Palin to buoy our spirits, this election would have been a rout.

She fought hard to bring back confidence in conservatism. But, she could not do it alone.

We must thank God that John McCain chose her. We can only hope that God puts her in the position to rally conservatives in the future.

IMHO, she is our Joan of Arc, our mighty warrior, unafraid in battle, a Godly wisdom and soul to match.

Go home Sarah. And never again hitch your wagon to a Dim Lite like John McCain. We’ll be looking for your return in the very near future. And Thank You for bringing life to a very dead campaign.

Didn’t like 99% of Slate vote Obama? Plus Christine Todd Whitman and Kathleen Parker? How fitting.

[varon]

That’s a great idea for two reasons:

1. It will let her know the large amount of support she has (because I’m sure the press/RINOs are going to start pounding at her as the reason we lost.)

2. Your return address will create a mailing list base that she can use to run nationally inthe future.

Also, the bags upon bags of mail will generate positive publicity that the MSM couldn't ignore. If Hannity or Rush could give it a boost it would become reality. FR just doesn't have the reach or influence.

I'm mailing mine this weekend.

From the article.....I wish the media would stop reporting the opposite!

Exit polls show Palin appeared to help McCain by energizing the pro-life Republican base and were motivated by her selection to support him.

Some 60 percent of voters said Palin was a factor when making their vote and they split for McCain over Obama on a 56-43 percentage point margin.

I know what you mean Polly. I don’t know where to start either.

I did write her a quick thank you here. http://gov.state.ak.us/

But I think she deserves more.

[dragonblustar]

He better not trash her.

That’s a great point.

Carl could not wait to get on and tell it. We will just have to see. I hope its not bad. Maybe its good. We will see. HE may tell us how MCcain camp kept her under raps.

“There’s no doubt she helped among lukewarm McCain supporters, but personally I spoke to several McCain supporters who through her resume was too thin. They voted for McCain anyhow.”

A woman I work with (Jamaician-American) said she was voting for McCain...She loved Sarah Palin...then decided to vote for Obama at the last minute because she felt Sarah Palin didn’t have the right stuff. This was after she told me that Democrats have taken advantage of Black people for years. Some people just stick together no matter what. That’s just sad.

[TalonDJ]

Well, I hope she won’t demure too long.

We don't want her to make a move this early or they will have 4 years to destroy her.

[jbwbubba]

Haven’t you watched the history channel lately? Don’t you know the world is set to end in 2012. I suppose Obama’s election only strengthens that chance.

[Ken Fulk]

It's understandable that she'd be hesitant. I don't think she really trusts the Republican party. I can't blame her.

Remember what she said to Fred Barnes:

"I don't know what kind of role the Republican party would want me to play," she told me. "In the past, I have not been one to be considered for anything by the hierarchy of the party. Certainly not in my state. In some sense, I ran against my party."

Palin remains skeptical of Republicans. "I would love to promote the party ideals if we're going to live out the ideals and maybe allow other American voters to understand what the principles of the party are," she says. "We've got to be assured we have enough people in the party who will live out those ideals and it's not just rhetoric. Otherwise, I'd be wasting my time. There are a lot of things I would and should be doing."

” it was his time”.
It was not McCains time. If McCain ever had a time it was in 2000.
But in 2000 he got beat by G.W> bush for the nomination.
McCain had no business being the nominee of the Republican party.
Go home John. Retire. You and so many other republicans are old farts with nary a new idea. Go home John, and take a whole passel of old folks with ya.
Time for some new, Conservative Republican blood.
