Howard Dean warns Dems Sarah Palin could beat Obama in 2012
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2011-06-04 | Alexander Bolton

Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who helped Democrats capture the White House in 2008, warns that Sarah Palin could defeat President Obama in 2012.

Dean says his fellow Democrats should beware of inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom that Obama would crush Palin in a general-election contest next year.

“I think she could win,” Dean told The Hill in an interview Friday. “She wouldn’t be my first choice if I were a Republican but I think she could win.”

Something the Democrats saw right from the beginning......they have always known she can defeat Obama and that’s why they come against her ruthlessly.

NO NEWT, NO TIM AND HELL NO, MITT!
SARAH, SARAH, AND ONLY SARAH’S ALL THAT’S GONNA FIT!

According to Krauthammer, it’s NOT Sarah’s turn to run, it’s Romney’s turn because he is the white Obama so of course elitist Republicans love Romney, reminds them of the guy they voted for

As usual Dean opens his mouth and Dems cringe. Why? He tells the truths they don’t want spoken.

Run Sarah Run!

There you have it.

Since he’s not in the inner circle anymore, Democrats can even better avoid the question of whether they should be listening to informed opinions versus listening to the cultivated yes-men they’re surrounded by.

Krauthammer is a RINO, just like Romney. Of course he doesn’t want Sarah to run, and he hopes everyone (including Sarah) will listen. We won’t.

Run Sarah Run!!
Our time and our money are all yours.

I remember when people on FR were rooting for Obama because they thought he couldn’t possibly win, and they figured Hillary was the dangerous one.

At the time I was so concerned - I knew Obama could win, as the MSM had been relentlessly attacking republicans and I knew the fact that he was black would make them absolute slobber.

The MSM elected Obama. He was an incompetant, self absorbed do nothing but they put him in. Sarah won’t have that advantage, but people are seeing the MSM really deceived them with the empty one.

I don’t think Dean is lying here. I think he really realizes her power.

“Dammit, one of them is starting to think.”

I wouldn’t put money on that. I’m sure the reason he said it is that he thinks he’d be a better candidate than Obama.
