CBS: "Major indicator" of Sarah Palin run on the way? "Several reliable sources" Point to sign.
CBS News ^ | 05/26/2011

Sarah Palin run at the presidency, filmmaker Stephen Bannon this week announced a $1 million documentary, "The Undefeated," about her term as Alaska's governor.

Scott Conroy, a reporter at RealClearPolitics.com and co-author of "Sarah from Alaska," got a sneak peek at the documentary and said on "The Early Show" Thursday he's heard from "several reliable sources" that, over the next couple of days, another "major indicator" is going to surface that she's ready to run in 2012.

Of the documentary, Conroy said, "This is really the biggest news that we've had in a while about Sarah Palin in terms of her presidential prospects. It's suggests strongly that she's been planning something all along. She's been kind of quiet."

Pro-Sarah Palin documentary to premiere in June Michele Bachmann says Palin won't influence her own 2012 decision

Ever since her meteoric rise on national political scene, Palin has fueled speculation.

She's said, "I would (run for president) if I believed that was the right thing for our country and for the Palin family, certainly."

When Mary Hart asked Palin on "ET" if she's planning to run in the upcoming election, Palin said, "You know, I have not decided what I'm going to do."

After dropping out of the national spotlight earlier this year, Palin strongly suggested a possible run for the nation's highest office in an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren last week.

Palin told her, "I want to make sure that America is put back on the right track, and we only do that by defeating Obama in 2012. I have that fire in my belly."

Now, there are unconfirmed reports that Palin is buying a house in Arizona as a launching-off point for a national campaign -- a house that's not far from the home her daughter Bristol

Horse race status (especially of those not through the starting gate) is not news.

I do find it amusing that CBS states: “she dropped out of the national spotlight.” She never left the national spotlight! It’s merely the MSM choosing not to cover her many speeches around the US (specifically the speech in Madison WI), Facebook posts taking the President to task, a speech in India, etc. or forcing the spotlight on her when it benefits their political positions: see Tuscon shooting.

Just my opinion.

Look what this news did to our temporary 1st lady: This is a real photo - the "big hair" is actually a plant behind Michelle.

The garbage that will be thrown at her will be amazing. It will be so intense that some on the right will even fall for it at times is my prediction.

Because the Brit media detest the WH clowns. If this were the AP, they would photoshop a halo on both heads as they are the official ass-kissers of the administration.

Watched a report about this on the EARLY SHOW...and they couldn’t let one person talk positively about it, so they bring in their dem operative who was saying, PALIN QUIT AS GOVERNOR and that won’t bode well with Republicans. So there you go....they are ready.

Yeah it will get much worse. Palin scares the heck out of a lot of people; Republicans included. People can't control her, put her in a box, or buy her off.
That bothers a lot of people who have a vested interest in controlling part of the status quo.

It also is kind of scary.

for good or bad, and i am on the fence about Palin in 2012, with a decent performance, she will suck the wind out of this current field. She is a much bigger presence than the rest of the field. Without Huck, she picks up a huge base of social conservatives to add to her fans on fiscal issues (her true bread & butter).

And just as I have been saying for several months now, the MSM wants nothing more than to be able to say that Michelle Bachmann has past Sarah Palin in popularity.

I am waiting now for Michelle Bachmann to announce that she has obtained the endorsement of CBS News Political Correspondent Jan Crawford, that is quite a feather in her cap.

I can also share with you all that Bachmann also has the endorsements of Andrea Mitchell, and dozens of other MSM hosts, this should do wonders for her in the primary.

Sarah Palin or bust, however the Huckster will endorse another before he finally reluctantly endorses Sarah, once she is the nominee.

Then CBS News Political Correspondent Jan Crawford basically endorsed Bachmann.

Just so that Bachmann Freepers know,most/much of MB support is from the MSM. Hope that helps you sleep well at night.
