Palin in 2016? A good bet...
OneNewsNow ^ | 3/5/2009 | Chad Groening

The author of a recently published biography of Sarah Palin doesn't believe it's a foregone conclusion that the Alaska governor will run for president in 2012.

My guess is, this guy is guessing.

From what I've heard about his book it's a bit too sensational for me to take anything he says seriously.

noone knows, not even Sarah. She will decide when the time comes. Alot of her fans want her to run, but we all acknowledge that the media will attack her to protect obama. She has a better chance after Obama

And after gaining some broader competence.

It entirely depends how bad Obama will screw up. If he is the disaster I expect him to be, and most Americans are tired of his BS and the media fawning, Sarah has the best shot in 2012. She has been already made the Anti-Obama. People will beg for it.

Sarah Palin would undoubtedly have the unshakable support of her political/cultural kinsmen - Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan.

They said Reagan had a better chance to run in 1980 rather than 76, but he couldn’t sit on his hands while the country tanked.

So I’m with you. She needs to get in there in 2012, if POTUS is her ambition.

Besides, the 2012 campaign doesn’t start for at least another month.

Palin is going to have to distance herself from McCain on such issues as amnesty and cap and trade legislation to be viable. She also must get up to speed on foreign affairs including meeting with foreign leaders abroad.

This speculation assumes that we will have free elections in 2016.

You mean Obama may pull a Chavez and go for president-for-life.

If Obama tries to stay President for life our country really will split apart and all this speculation will be for nothing anyway.

Perfectly phrased, no matter that most don't want to hear it.

I knew I wasn’t the only one having nightmares about that. I’d heard that the Ubama camp is already raising their sights on the 22nd Amendment, and with ACORN as well as the MSM in the tank for him, who knows? Would there ever again be a real election?

Election fraud is what the dimlibs do best anyway, a trait inherited from their Uncle Joe Stalin. Witness South Texas (1948), Florida (2000), Ohio (2004), Minnesota (2008), and Chicago (any election). And these are just the ones that made the news.

“...the 2012 campaign doesn’t start for at least another month.”

Ha, You got that right!

She is already 317 times more competenat than Obambi. The country is going down the tubes fast. We can’t wait until 2016.

We have to make Sarah hardcore on immigration and the fence and with regards to right-to-work laws. Other than that she is ready to go now under great management like Carter Wrenn.

Sarah has 30 years to run for President. She is still very young, even Ziegler told her that 2016 is a better choice since the media will be kissing Obama’s ass for that long, perhaps longer. There are two kinds of Obama supporters, the ones that voted for him to punish the Republican party for 8 years of Bush, those are the ones that if they don’t see improvement will drop Obama like a bad habit, then you have the die-hard wanna lick Obama’s balls supporters, they are the ones that will jump off a cliff if Obama told them to, they will never change their opinion of him, ever, just matters how many of those loons exist

All we need is a 10% swing to Republicans. I am confident Obama will make sure of that in 4 years. It just needs a mishap in Afghanistan or Pakistan for the masses to turn against him. Sarah will be ready when people beg her to run for POTUS.
