Would a pop icon speak to a right to life rally as Sarah did last nite.? It seems Sarah is getting alot of this stuff out of the way this year i.e. another book, the documentary on AK etc. By the end of the year Sarah will have to make the decision to run or not. If and its a big if Sarah doesn’t run then her support will dry up faster than a rain storm in the desert. All the people who go and see Sarah support her ideals but there is a tacit assumption Sarah will run in ‘12. We have a lot invested in Sarah and with that comes obligations and that is for Sarah to Run for the presidency. If Sarah doesn’t run then they win and we lose but conversely I like it the other way around better WE WIN THEY LOSE.
No. Sarah is a good conservative, I don't believe she is trying to turn herself into a pop icon. I'm concerned that it's a new media strategy to "devalue" her as a serious politcal candidate. I hope she beats them at their own game though - she's still my number one pick for 2012. And yes, I hope she is just getting this stuff out of the way, building up a good bank account - for a run in 2012.
She's a smart lady, believe it or not, I'm on her side.
Unless you really are part of an organized group of multi-million dollar donors to a Palin candidacy, your emotional demands that she run in exchange for your ardor are loony. She can, and should, do as she pleases; if she is not ready now, you need to suck it up.
There is a lot more to a run for president than popular acclaim. There must be Big Money, Big Organization and a lot of luck as well as the will of the established party system to back her and create a unified campaign. I suspect that much of the negativity directed against her last time around came from Romney's people; and the sabotage by McCain's people is already documented.
Let the woman develop at her own pace. You see what the Democrats' having pushed an unseasoned, immature candidacy onto America by the use of PR tricks and spin has done to our country.
IMO it doesn't matter if Palin runs for President or not.
I don't see where she has ever obligated herself to do so.
She will not lose her support base, and will continue to be strong Conservative force here in our Constitutional Republic.
