It's pretty obvious in Going Rogue that SP hates the GOP establishment, but I see this as more of a threat to get its act together.

[dfwgator]

Palin hinting at 3rd-party run?

Good luck with all that!

[evad]

She’s too smart to go 3rd party.

[Nachum]

It would virtually guarantee another four years of Democrat socialism by splitting the vote. Hope she doesn’t do it.

[GOPsterinMA]

Right - a third party run re-elects Barry 0. I don’t see anything about her that would want that to happen.

[Welcome2thejungle]

Great. Insure BHO’s re-election. Glad Ronald Reagan didn’t think that way. After he lost the Republican primaries in 1976, he came back in 1980 and did it the right way. He wasn’t a spoiled sport.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

I hope, for the country's sake, she thinks this through long and hard. I don't think the majority of Americans is ready for a third party (although most of us wish we had something other than what we have). I'm extremely concerned that a third-party run would pretty much assure another 4 years of our current administration — I know it's in God's hands, but I truly fear the result.

Listen to Palin’s interview with Lars.

if she does that she will probably get a position in the next Obama term as reward for being the straw man
honestly any third party from the right is just going to equal more Dem dominance
then i will have to hear people on this site whine about how terrible the Dems are while they contribute to Dem dominance with these asinine third parties

[FrankR]

The mere mention of a "third party" has the left going, "Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and get the shredder ready for the Constitution."

After such fiaco, zero will be back in, and the coup will begin, in ernest.

Third parties are like secrets; three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

[Eagle Eye]

Anyone who refuses to vote for her if she does go third party has proven themselves to be GOP Firsters.

[Lorianne]

Why not?
What has she got to lose?

She has no vested peronal interest in anything that I can see, she can retire wealthy back to Alaska if she doesn’t win. Why not run as an independent?

Nothing to lose and everything to gain. She’s in an enviable place.

[presently no screen name]

All Palin is doing is reminding the GOP that they can’t take generic unhappiness with the current Congress and administration for granted and just offer business as usual — and that’s helpful indeed.

I agree. IF the GOP gives us another RINO candidate, well then, they are the ones who went 3rd party.

[Rummyfan]

Why would she run third party when she could easily capture the GOP nomination?

[Mount Athos]

I think of third party advocates as George Soros agents trying to ensure socialist rule.

Real conservatives would try to move the Republican party to the right via the primary system, not ensure democrat wins with third party runs.

[RacerXSpeedRacer]

Won’t it come down to one simple question....

Who the Republican Party leaders present
to us and back?

Any RINO or Republican lite will result in a 3rd party run. Period. And I for one, question whether the Republican Party has really learned anything.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why would she do that?

SarahPAC can collect more money than the RNC.

[FreeReign]

The media is puuushing candidates again for us. This time, they are trying to push a genuine conservative candidate out of the Republican party and into the 3-P wilderness.

Gee, I can't possibly imagine why they would want to do this...can all of you?

[Gator113]

She is simply warning the GOP to straighten up. She doesn’t plan on a 3rd party run. She’s not stupid and if she runs, she will run to win.

[Antoninus]

If she did go 3rd party, she’d take a lot of us with her. And once we reached critical mass, those of you remaining with the Stupid Party would have to join us or the dems—or become irrelevant.

[grumpygresh]

At this point in time it’s good that she is making the RNC stand up and take notice. She can raise a lot of money because people trust her more than the Republicans.
Sarah, keep it up and scare them (the wayward RNC and rinos) straight! You go ahead and let them know who’s boss and take over the Republican machine.
