Scoot over, Mitt & Sarah, more will run
Boston Herald ^ | 12/13/10 | Holly Ribichaud

Posted on 12/13/2010 11:42:42 AM PST by pissant

As the race among Republicans to challenge a wounded President Obama stampedes north next month, there will be more names besides Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin swirling around New Hampshire.

It’s a wide-open field of potential GOP candidates from Mike Huckabee to John Thune and Tim Pawlenty. Possibly Haley Barbour and old but new Newt Gingrich may step in and dance. There could even be a Bush.

Despite a hit reality cable show and book tour, it is unlikely that Palin will abandon her money-making efforts or her status as a king-maker to run.

Sarah said she would run if there wasn’t someone in the bunch that she could support.

A 3-ring circus.

Only one way to shut the circus down: Either Palin or the Palin-pick wins big in all the early primaries.

“Sarah said she would run if there wasn’t someone in the bunch that she could support”

that is such an ambiguous statement on her part. it implies that she is interested if no one else can take the burden but leaves her PLENTY of room to endorse almost anyone especially when you consider that this is going to be a crowded primary. she will be able to find someone endorse him/her and continue to make oodles of cash while saying she is comfortable with her choice.

Whether Palin runs or not, none of the others has a chance of winning without the votes of her supporters.

The only reason Palin has a status as a king-maker is because people think that she will run. The day she announces that she isn't running is the day a lot of people stop caring about what she has to say. She has no choice but to run.

Circus..., a dog and pony tail chasing show that is sure to entertain Democrats and make a mess for Republicans. It’ll be like watching speeding egos crash against a brick wall.

In order: no, Uh I guess if I have to, Uh I guess if I have to. OK I guess, Please G-d No!, and Oh hell No!

Sarah has been running since August of 2009.

She is working a brilliant strategy to perfection. This year has been to reintroduce herself and her family to America.

Now she will focus on serious policy positions in speeches and editorials, drawing a sharp contrast between Obama and what a Palin administration would do.

You haven’t seen nothin’ yet...

Sarah will win the nomination in a cakewalk and the White House in a landslide. (much to the consternation of a certain sad little pissant)

I'm sure you can find a one-delegate dark horse to back, pissy.

I have a feeling that the conservatives in this year’s race will not be so easily dismissed, after the 2008 debacle.

I have a feeling you will find the most unelectable of the bunch to support, yet again.

One of those headlines that make you say, “Well duh!”

The 2008 Iowa debate had 9 candidates on stage, and none of us expect the 2012 Iowa debate will have any less. And Now is the time to make sure it looks nothing like it did in 2008, and to fill it with as many electable conservatives as we can, and then when its all over with pick the best among them. I would be thrilled to have Palin up there. two reasons. One it would make it the most watched GOP debate ever, and two with her up there, others will have to watch they don't appear to centrist in their answers .
