South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that Sarah Palin is considering a run for president in 2012.
"She's obviously toying with the idea," Graham said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

It appears that Graham is “toying” with the lamestream press, knowing that Palin lives rent free in their heads 24/7.
Sarah has such a large fan base that they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves, as an entire group, if Sarah officially decided not to run for ‘12 POTUS. It’s possible that Sarah will decide not to run for ‘12 POTUS and/or beyond ‘12. We will all have a much better idea what’s really going on, the closer we get to the ‘12 election cycle.
I agree, she’s definitely considering it.
-"She will be our next ‘real’ president."
Anyone (and there are many) peddling the silly idea that PALIN would better 'energizing the base' than running for President, really are masquerading something else... that THEY DON'T LIKE PALIN! PERIOD!
Tell me the last time you saw someone this popular and constantly getting this much media attention who people said their main job should be to "energize the base" and stay away from running for the Presidency?
A totally absurd, ludicrous, and disingenuous proposition.
Uh, you need to look at her speech yesterday in Anaheim. It’s up at http://www.palintv.com/ and http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/10/governor-palins-speech-at-gop-rally.html If that’s not a candidate I don’t know what is.
And just how would you know?
Wishful thinking huh?
Graham is interested in only one thing, attention for himself. In that respect, he is just like McCain.
If he becomes a democrat, he would be just another democrat. If he remains a RINO he guarantees for himself the MSM attention he so craves. The MSM loves to bring on any republican that bashes other republicans.
My husband seems to really like Sarah, but he keeps saying, “If you care about Sarah Palin, you had better pray she does not run, because they will destroy her if she runs.” He thinks the radicals will savage her.
“Tell me the last time you saw someone this popular and constantly getting this much media attention who people said their main job should be to “energize the base” and stay away from running for the Presidency?”
Ding Ding Ding!
We have our winner.....Give that man a cigar.
“He thinks the radicals will savage her.”
They’ve been trying that since Nov. 2008 and haven’t succeeded yet. I don’t think they’ll stop, and I think they’ll get the same result.
The very definition of insanity.
But then they are Democrats/Liberals/Socialists
Oh is Sen. Lindsey Graham going to run in place of Obama on the Democrat ticket...............
I told him I believe she has been innoculated. They have thrown everything at her but the kitchen sink and she’s still mocking them. I do fear for her safety. I trust that she has proper protection these days.
If I were Palin I wouldn’t give Graham the time of day. He is quite simply not a man to be trusted.
As you must know, I could not agree with you more. ;>)
The “I really like Palin but” crowd are soon to find themselves very frustrated and alone on an island.
I believe that our Founding Fathers, and many past presidents, would be very proud of that lady, I know that I sure am.
I want her to announce shortly after the mid-terms, because it would make my Christmas. OK? Is that wrong?
I would counter with, “If you care about your country, you better pray that she does run”.
The radicals will try to “savage” anyone that they don’t support. The Walking Filth have already done their best to “savage Palin, and failed. Palin responded by getting stronger, honing her skills, turning the table on these dweebs and making a few million dollars for her family all at the same time, and in very short order.
She's going to run, and I'm starting to believe she will win. Sarah will be the first women President of the United States.
“I trust that she has proper protection these days.”
Here in California, which is a “may issue CCW” state (difficult to impossible to obain in most counties), our stridently anti gun US Senator Diane Feinstein has a CCW and packs “heat” all the time.....Democrat arrogance and hipocracy at it’s finest......(Thats ok, after Boxer we’ll be coming after her.)
That said, I wonder if Sarah carries, in the end it’s her responsibility for her personal defense. She doesn’t seem to be the type to shirk peronal responsibility.
Ditto about John McCain, and Sarah gives him plenty of attention and positive comments. Sarah supports some of the RINOS, from within the GOP, and this is one of her major weaknesses among most conservatives. Her other main weakness among many conservatives is that Sarah isn’t enough of a “polished speaker”, but I don’t see any major problems with that. Right now, I consider Sarah as the front runner for the ‘12 GOP POTUS election, until and unless she decides to bow out of the race, later.
