The article is 2009 not 2008.

...Republican voters enthralled by what they see as a unique political style...

They simply do not get it, do they? Even when the press is trying hard to give Sarah her due, they misread what she is, and why Americans are attracted to her.

It's just so typical of liberals to think that people are influenced by, and support a political candidate because of their "style".

It's the substance, you idiots, not the "style". Sheeesh...

What's up with your continual annoying misspelling of her name?

No machine = no chance

She'll be the juggernaut and candidates will turn to her PAC for support. Name one other pubbie who can attract as many people and fundraisers.

I'll support her Republican or not.

I'm tired of half baked pseudo conservatives.

Finally some one standing up against all that socialistic and “Reaching across the isle” crap what’s coming out of Washington. I sure hope she got what it takes to get this country back on track and revive it before we end up in the trash bin of history and the socialists close the lid on this once great nation. There are times when I envision her as a reincarnation of Joan of Arc. I would vote for her in less than a heartbeat.

Yesterday morning Governor Palin's chances at the nomination and the Presidency were as close to nil as you could get. I've talked to a bunch of Republicans and they would get a wistful look in their eye and just shrug. Everyone, including major Romney supporters were going out of their way to keep the possibility open and accomodate her should the situation arise. No one believed it would.

Today's announcement changed all that. The way I see it is that she just broke three tackles and has eighty yards of open field ahead of her. I like Palin but I have not been a supporter. The experience and depth issues were the major factors. Tonight they are meaningless.

If she can harness the current and future disapproval of Obama and pull in those independent voters, she could take it all. Yesterday as Governor of Alaska, she couldn't. Today as a leader of a people's campaign, she can. There is still a strong probability that she will fizzle but there is, for the first time, a chance. A magnificent chance.

Our family’s for Sarah. It will be worth our time, effort, and money to see old fossils like Ed Rollins have to eat their words as she sweeps into the lower 48 like the juggernaut she is. The denizens of The Ol’ Boys Club will have the vapors....

Team Sarah is a diverse coalition of Americans dedicated to advancing the values that Sarah Palin represents in the political process.

You might say “Sarah has read the TeaLeaves”

Lets see if it’ll fit with my other tag line.

I have nothing to base this on - it's just pure speculation, but what if she's going to align herself with the tea party movement and travel the country in support of these grass-roots events as the focal point of opposition to Obama? I think she may have something like that in mind, and I think she knows it's going to take at least $1 Billion to defeat Obama, so she's getting an early start.

That is exactly what I mean. The Tea Parties are a movement without a complaint. No one, except cigarette smokers, has paid any higher taxes yet. But they will and they know it. It is a general feeling of unease at the direction that the country is going and I expect it to grow exponentially.

If Governor Palin can take advantage, not of the Tea Parties specifically although they will help, but of the unease that caused them this could be powerful. She has the personality to do it.

Palin’s resignation might provide an opportunity for Romney. Assuming Palin is calling it quits for good, Romney could step in and offer to pay off Palin’s legal debt in return for her support in the primary. Palin’s endorsement of Romney could lock up the nomination for him and help him win over skeptical of his flip-flops.
