Sarah Palin talks a lot about the tea party.
On Fox News last week, she said, "I find inspiration in tea party patriots [and] those with common sense who aren't playing a lot of games."
She could be considered the tea party's godmother. With her Sarah PAC and support for 2010 tea party candidates, Palin has generated a lot of good will, not to mention publicity, for a movement that began only two years ago. She also isn't afraid to attack popular Republicans such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Further proof that Palin isn't always a GOP team player: She is skipping the first GOP primary debate on May 2 to give a keynote address, "Tribute to the Troops with Sarah Palin," at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colo. Some take this as a sure sign, along with her tanking poll numbers in key places like Iowa, that Palin will not seek the White House in 2012.
Could Palin, ever the rogue, be concocting a different plan?
What if Palin is building a grassroots army of patriots to help her undertake this mission? Palin, unlike any failed vice presidential candidate before her, has taken an opportunity and spun it into a gold mine. But to remain relevant in a crowded 2012 field of attention-seeking veteran politicians, Palin may have to make an unconventional move.

I don’t see Palin doing that, quite frankly.
Sure she could. So could I. But she’s politically savvy, and knows that would be the ticket to an Obama second term.
There is NO chance that Palin does this.
I don’t think she’s insane so no.
As the chairman of what for the moment is the third-largest party in America based on voter registrations, America’s Independent Party, I can say without a doubt that she could never win our party’s nomination. Not nearly conservative enough.
LLS
Why don't we hear about the socialist, or the Unions putting up a third party candidate? Because they know that third parties don't win elections, they split the vote and allow the under dog, and in this case the democrat liberal socialist to win by default!
And quite frankly, if the GOP sabotages her campaign, then I’m finished with the Republican Party, period. I’ll write her name on the ballot in 2012, and then go independent, voting for individual candidates as I see fit.
And the GOP can then go to hell.
Good God Almighty! Christie attacks HER, multiple times, and when she responds, she is "attacking him".
What is this so-called "reporter" drinking (or smoking, or shooting up)? Whatever it is, it must be REALLY GOOD STUFF to cause those kind of hallucinations.
I still think Palin is in this for the long haul. She knows that she is young (in politics). She is a marathon runner. I see her running for President in 4 or 8 years.
That would guarantee four more years of Bork Obunga.
As much as the left would LOVE that...I doubt they get their way.
I doubt she would do this. I don’t think she would like to be known as the person who made it possible for Obama to win in 2012.
I only see 3rd party as a last last resort. It would probably see Barack HUSSEIN Osama reelected and I don't think Sarah would want that.
That being said I can see The Tea Party as a force in the legislative branch. Maybe some day the party elitists will get the message.
No and No.
I think Palin loves America and will not split conservative vote. Right now the usual suspects are not inspiring me. Only possible candidate that I like is Donald Trump. In talking to some people at the office, young people, they like him, too.
Are you really larger than the Libertarian Party, BTW?
I like it! SP smacks big mouth rino Christie, wimpy Obama, queen Mochelle and anyone else that steps into the ring. Sarah Palin as well as the big bad Tea Parties are now living rent free(maybe even getting paid) in all the progressive, dino’s, neo’s and rino’s heads. A 3rd Party run is interesting and the threat should exist for both of the deadhead parties because only the Green Hornet knows....... fo shur!
