Palin Bus Tour Takes Extended Pit Stop

Less than a month after she appeared poised to shake up the Republican presidential campaign, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has once again receded from the 2012 limelight. When Palin launched her "One Nation" bus tour on Memorial Day amid a swirl of media attention and excitement from her fervent fan base, many political observers who had once dismissed her were reminded of the jolt that her candidacy could provide to what has thus far been a relatively sleepy GOP nominating fight.

Probably a good time to give the LSM/Rep establishment driven artificial Bachmann support time to fizzle out.

Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow and the entire left wing praising MB will grow old very quick. The trumped up polls for MB by Ras (who has to take Sarah`s name out to get a rise for MB) or a phony poll by Zogby that even pollster/huff post will not even post on it`s site, let alone RCP.

SARAH PALIN OR BUST

...They are probably moving up their timetable to Phase II, but are letting people like Bachmann go first.

Not convinced that Perry is in it, btw.

From your keyboard to God's ear!
Chris, when do YOU think that Governor Palin will decide?
- Fourth of July?

- Alaska lawsuit deadline day, 7/26?

- Labor Day?

- Or?

Folks, Sarah is not running this time, she is running in 2016.

I agree on your Conroy take. He covered the first leg fairly.

let’s see email dump, movie release.

The bus tour is not a campaign tour.

I would look for tour weeks around the holidays of memorial day, july 4th and labor day. with planning, fundraisieng, intenational trips in between.

I keep asking these people where the hate comes from. What is it exactly that inspires them to viscerally hate Palin?

I agree with your ‘reload’ and timetable prediction. I believe Sarah when she said [months ago] that she would make her decision probably late summer.

There was a post at Conservatives for Palin 2 days ago, it was actually just a article, but at the bottom of the article it read....anybody that doubts Gov Palin is running read this recent tweet from Sarah...I could not open the link, my computer whatever wont work on twitter, just says my hourly usage has hit limit...I NEVER USE TWITTER

At any rate does anybody know the encouraging tweet Gov Palin made in the past couple days?

Yes, you see, It's all part of her plan, you see, that she runs an “unconventional”, “unconventional, “unconventional”, maybe, “we'll let you know next week” about what we will “Let you know”, (Next week) kind of non-campaign, campaign (not really, hint, hint,)

“Game-on, game off, on, (maybe) off, (We'll get back to you on that fer sher. Hint, hint, wink, wink!

This is Palin’s MO. she gets in engages for a week or so and then goes dark for 2 or 3 weeks. to reload, remessage and work out the wrinkles. She did the same after the madison Wi speech, now the first leg of the bus tour she did it after her Q and A session in Long island, after the Nov elections, after the Tuson blood libel after her trips to Israel and india, after SPAK etc

It is her way of keeping her name in the mix and supporters online and not being overexposed.

First sentence is BS, she wasn't shaking up the campaign, she is not part of the campaign, she hasn't announced. The MSM are such a**hats. No matter what she does she is wrong as far as they are concerned.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they just came home to help Track for fishing season. The salmon are running hot this time of year.

They whine when she’s on the tour. They whine when she’s not on the tour.

LOL! Post of the day material.

Well that was kind of snarky & insinuates that you don’t believe she ever had any baseless ethics charges against her. Is that your position?
