I agree. I think she has been running all along, and will make it a formality around early fall 2011. I also think Sarah will attract voters in far greater numbers than the polling currently indicates.
I haven't been this enthused about a candidate since the Gipper himself.
Read my tag.
So she could "come out with exploratory committee in January 2011", and be right on schedule; or she could schedule it however she wishes, and she'd still be right on schedule.
But always remember what Palin did in 2001-2002. She lost Repub primary to Frank Murkowski by a couple thousand votes. Her base begged her to do a write in and she had a good chance of winning in the fall. Also had a good chance of splitting the conservative vote and allowing Phony Tony Knowles another term as dem gov. Palin refused to run, said she wasn't going to be any part of letting a dem in the back door for a chance at being gov. Frank was lucky and ain't it funny that his own daughter didn't have the same Palin class.
Palin will change the repub party for the better, not destroy it's chances. Palin is the real deal. Palin also has been destroyed by the media. If people would only look at her record of accomplishments at every position she held rather than what they hear from the media; Palin would be our nx Pres. I don't have much faith in the American voter just the same. Palin will be a positive force at whatever she does and that's a good thing.
You distort what Sarah Palin has done over the past year and one-half.
I am not a detractor, but a supporter. If she runs, I will vote for her in a heartbeat...and hope she wins. One area of improvement that is critical will be her ability to given crisp, properly formed, and grammatically correct answers to questions. She is bright, but her stream-of-consciousness style of speaking is a detriment. For a conservative to win the WH, the individual must be a polished communicator.
I AM speaking for myself, jerk! We can't afford Sarah Palin in 2012 if she doesn't win. You disagree with that? Do you WANT four more years of Obama if you don't get your dream candidate?
I'm always suspicious of the media and I think their constant focus on Palin is because they WANT to run against her. It may backfire on them big time, and I hope it does. But I'd watch the polls. If she keeps unfavorables in the 50s, conservatives would be much smarter to get behind DeMint, Pence, Christie, Rubio or someone else less radioactive.
2012 is too important to have a candidate that will give us four more years of Obama.
No distortion; her political activities have been secondary to her achieving financial security for her family, something I applaud. If she runs, I enthusiastically will support her candidacy and vote for her. I just think she won’t enter the fray, at least for the 2012 election cycle. She remains relevant to the process only so long as she keeps the American public and the media guessing...and that’s not a bad thing.
Well I don’t think anyone who can be corrupted would be a bad choice so that pretty much rules her out.
If you are speaking for yourself quit using the term we because you include me when you do!
Like Obama?
Sarah is more than ready NOW and America cannot wait for her until 2016 to save our republic. It would be all over by then with 30-40 million new mexican/socialist voters to insure the DNC/Socialist party of their marxist dictatorship as far as the eye can see.
Me too, personally I feel another 4 years of Obama is great, according to Rush.
more ready NOW than what?
She isn’t going to save this country. Congress can do that not the President.
I really don’t give a rats ass about who is President. I care about is in Congress. President is just a figurehead nothing more they can’t do anything without congress.
Never heard of Executive Orders I presume? The President has amassed enormous powers, while you have been sleeping.
I have said from the beginning that this president has the notion that he will never leave this office, whether or not this turns out to be true remains to be seen.
The massive House defeat gives reason for hope, but we leave major RINO's in power in the House and Senate. 2012 will be the deciding factor on the future of this nation. Will we choose freedom, or will the corrupt election process lead us into tyranny?
Or she could wait until mid-November, which is when the big guy actually announced, and watch the pundits shivering with antici..............................pation.
So much of the deal is about fund-raising now, she's got to get in early. There is only so much money to go around, if she's not in the donors will start giving it to Romney and Huckabee. Romney wants this more than anything, expect him to try to grab as much donor money as possible from the start and then spend $50 to 100 million of his own money if necessary.
that was my point - I dont think she will run if she thinks it will mean giving the seat back to bama.
Personaly, i like her a ton and will vote, campaign, and fdonate $ to her, however, afte rthe complete mess left by bama, I almost don’t want to see her there knowing that they will blame her for it.
What a stupid and inaccurate statement!
uhhh, does the name Reagan and what HE did ring a bell?
sheeesh, what a maroon! LOL!
