Sarah Palin Is 'Engaged In The Internal Deliberations' About A Presidential Run
ABC News ^ | Nov. 17, 2010 | MARY BRUCE

New York Times article details Palin's political machine.

Sarah Palin has clarified for the first time in a newly published interview that she is seriously considering a presidential run.

"I am," Palin told New York Times writer Robert Draper when asked if she was weighing a run in 2012. "I'm engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here."

In a personal profile to be published in the upcoming New York Times Magazine, Palin said her decision would involve "evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table," admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.

Show me how Palin wins 270 Electoral votes?

Redistricting happens in 2011. This is real important. Look it up.

There were some important wins in NH (senate race), FL (senate and governor races), and IA (senate and governor races). Look those up.

There were some important wins across the board in battleground states such as OH, PA, FL, and also in MI, WI, IN, NC (major, major something happened here), SC, and on and on. Look all this junk up.

So tell us all about those 270 electoral votes.

"If you think about the whole picture Palin is the only one that would not cowtail to the global agenda."


Given that she is the only potential GOP candidate frequently mentioned, who has clearly expressed support for the Law of the Sea Treaty, I have a hard time seeing her as much of a threat to "the global agenda".

Daniel’s is electable and got over 58% of the vote in Indiana when Obamacrackers won Indiana in 2008. I think he deserves a serious look, and he’s not a total social liberal.

“Sarah Palin endorses Tom Tancredo” — November 1, 2010.
“Sarah Palin endorses Sandy Adams” — November 1, 2010.

That’s hardly in advance.

But yes, she did endorse John McCain and Michele Bachmann in January.

Would you please send me the link to Col. Grimes report? It seems to have been scrubbed from online sources.

I haven't found any supporters of Sarah Palin who can answer for me some of the questions it brought up. You seem to think they were answered...so can you tell me where?

Thanks.

Anyone who has read Palin's autobiography knows that she has brilliant political instincts. People underestimate her at their own peril. Besides that, I remember a few years ago when most people thought that this community organizer and half-term senator from Illinois with the funny name was unelectable. You never know what can happen in politics.

Your link http://2012.presidential-candidates.org/Immigration.php

No thanks. This is not an authorized issues statement from Palin. You will note that she hasn’t announced yet.

I’ve read many of her statements and some of that stuff is unsubstantiated. Although, they did get it right that she doesn’t support amnesty.

The link you have provided for Palin does have quotes from Palin.

It would be premature to consider most of these her policy or issues statements.

Election Day Nov 08...many of these statements happened when she was the VP nominee and was defending McCain’s issues stands, which as you know is the duty of a VP.

Her actual stands on illegal immigration have been documented on here before and are incomplete. But she always stresses securing the Border as the top and first priority.

I’ve been sharing those links today with DWTS doofuses.

You should see their heads explode!

I like Sarah. I do. And I feel for her as her idiot daughters are a major embarrassment.

But to many FReepers who worship DWTS and see NOTHING wrong with what Bristol (and now Willow) are doing... I like to poke fun and agitate them.

LOL, you’re desperation is not a virtue. It’s just desperation.

The only head that have been exploding have been liberal heads all across the nation...as they succumbed to Bristol Palin making the finals.

Why would I give a left two chits about some kids talking on facebook.

I read them last night and was quite amused at the opposition research going into Palin’s daughters lol.

Are you a child stalker or something?

That’s right. You can’t debate the issues in a mature manner, so you go vulgar.

Pull your head out pal. You’re on Free Republic. Not the DUmp.

Tancredo and Adams are both VERY, VERY tough on illegals.

But, HOW? DETAILS. She's silent for a reason. It may be her weak spot. A virtual fence does us no good. If we let illegals stay here, that is akin to amnesty. jmo

Why do you say she's silent? I've heard her say clearly it was the number one priority to seal the border and stop the illegals from coming in. She's said in a number of times in a number of ways.

You seem to not want to listen, or go with those (and there are quite a few here) who THINK she really means amnesty when she's saying stop the influx now.
