Sarah Palin: Could She Run as an Independent or Third Party Candidate?

I don’t see Palin doing that, quite frankly.

[Dan Nunn]

Sure she could. So could I. But she’s politically savvy, and knows that would be the ticket to an Obama second term.

[Daisyjane69]

There is NO chance that Palin does this.

[Impy]

I don’t think she’s insane so no.

[EternalVigilance]

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.

[LibLieSlayer]

It all depends on whether the liberal elite, blue blood, country club, beltway communists control the nomination process and offer up one of their marxists... and Palin alluded to this a year ago. Continue to be the liberalcrat II party and watch and see!

Here we go again! The elitist want someone from the tea party to run as an independent so they can split the vote and allow the Obumbum to simply walk back into the US Presidency without a fight!

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!

I’m pretty sure that Sarah would not split the party if it came down to it, but the threat needs to be there to keep the GOP good ol’ boys at bay. I will NOT vote for a Romney, Huck, Pawlenty, Daniels, Barbour, Christie etc. if any of them are the nominee.

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.

[Wonder Warthog]

"She also isn't afraid to attack popular Republicans such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie."

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.

[republicangel]

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.

[wendy1946]

That would guarantee four more years of Bork Obunga.

[BobL]

As much as the left would LOVE that...I doubt they get their way.

[dforest]

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.

[cranked]

No and No.

[samsmom]

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.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I don't think you have any thing to worry about since I doubt she has even heard of your party.

Are you really larger than the Libertarian Party, BTW?

[iopscusa]

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!
