Ace of Spades is hopping about and arm-waving, claiming that Sarah is crazy to do this right now, "with as little support as she's ever had."

The results from HIS SITE'S VERY OWN STRAW POLL, taken just today, with over 4,000 votes total:

Sarah Palin 34.32% (1,445 votes)

Herman Cain 26.22% (1,104 votes)

Tim Pawlenty 23.8% (1,002 votes)

Mitt Romney 4.75% (200 votes)

Heh. ;)

With news of this film coming out, there is a great gnashing of teeth and rendering of hair shirts in the quarters of the usual suspects tonight.

I say send a DVD to every $100 donor to her campaign. I sometimes wonder if even Sarah knows how strong her following is. When I think back over all of her appearances, book signings, campaign stumping, speeches, and recall the size of the crowds and what they went through just to see her, it seems like a foregone conclusion that when she announces, it will open the floodgates. We are just patiently or impatiently waiting.........

“Palin and her aides have appeared to recognize that despite some recent polls showing her near the top of the prospective Republican field, she still has substantial problems with independent voters and large swaths of the GOP. Even more daunting will be finding a way to explain persuasively just how it was that ethics complainers and liberal bloggers -- whom other politicians in her shoes might have largely dismissed as relatively minor nuisances -- succeeded in forcing her of office.

“But coming on the heels of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's decision not to join the fray, many grassroots conservatives are clamoring for a candidate who has both the stature and the sizzle to compete with President Obama.

“If she does decide to run, "The Undefeated" will be the key element to her initial coming-out party. The film's impending release -- and the frenzied media attention that it is sure to generate -- will serve as a vivid wake-up call that despite the many obstacles in front of her, Palin's entry into the race would turn the campaign on its head in an instant, just as it did in 2008.

“As she mulls her decision in the coming weeks, the other Republican candidates in the field will be left to prepare for a hibernating grizzly who appears poised to rise up once again.”

This is an excellent idea. I’m sooo looking forward to seeing this movie, and I hope that Sarah’s critics watch this movie as well.

The only problem with a movie like this is that it kills the speculation and BS that Sarah’s enemies are so fond of propagating. However, what we really want is for those independents and undecided to view this film, so they can have a clear and better understanding that Sarah’s public image has been mischaracterized as a result of a deliberate campaign engineered by the liberal media, and that depiction is a grotesque caricature and not reflective of the real person at all.

I love the idea noted in the article of the director conveying the pathology behind the hatred for Sarah, and showing clips of loud mouth entertainers like Bill Maher, David Letterman, and the fat Rosie spewing hateful and offensive things about Sarah. He really puts the light on those wretched creatures and exposes them for the misogynist (considering that Rosie is a man), hateful, and vicious individuals that they are.

Based on what I read, this will be a great film, highlighting Sarah’s ability to govern as a reformer in Alaska, and making clear her triumphs on fiscal and energy issues that earned her an 80% approval rating. I like how the director explores the development of her maverick label, and how it caught the attention of the old man McCain, impressing him enough that he picked her as his running mate.

I like the idea as well. Right out of Reagan’s playbook. The “Momma Grizzly” video was a prelude to this. Sarah is about three step ahead of everybody else.

"This is pure genius! GAME ON!!!"

The truest words regarding Palin ever printed on FreeRepublic.

She said in a recent interview with Greta Susteren that, if she decided to run, her run would be "...very unconventional, with some real game changers. Expect the unexpected."

She is apparently going to deliver that in spades.

I used to be ticked at those who underestimated her or sold her short. Now, I just feel bad for them.

She's going to make them all look like complete idiots.

LMAO!!!! GAME FLIPPN ON!!!!

8^D

Searching FR for the word "Palin" in thread title...
... unfortunately does not find threads with the word "Palin's" in the thread title.
So, here is a summary of some recent threads about Steven K. Bannon's new movie...
...indexed by using the new movie's title, "The Undefeated" as a key word...
...to assist future FReepers in finding these important early threads about how Governor Palin won the election in 2012:

I know Steve. He’s a good documentary filmmaker, having done “In the Face of Evil,” the movie about Ronald Reagan. He’ll certainly do a great job.

I have a feeling Palin would have made a darn fine general, devising and overseeing war strategy that has been rare in the world.
