Why Palin Can Win
The American Thinker ^ | 6/25/2011 | Robert Eugene Simmons Jr

Posted on 06/25/2011 6:09:09 AM PDT by Lakeshark

One of the most talked about subjects in politics is whether or not Sarah Palin will run for the presidency. It's frankly anyone's guess which direction she will go with her decision and when she will make the decision. However, if Palin doesn't run it will be a disaster for the Republican Party and quite possibly the country
*snip*
In watching the coverage of the announced candidates, the alarm bells should be clanging violently.
*snip*
If Sarah Palin doesn't run for president, the operatives in the media and Beltway establishment will have learned a fool-proof method of destroying any political opponent.
*snip*
When the political calculus is done, it is clear that Palin is the only real conservative with libertarian leanings that can possibly be elected in the country. Although there are other conservatives with promise such as Bachmann, Cain, and West, they have not been subjected to the vetting that Sarah Palin has and there should be no doubt that the media will do everything they possibly can to destroy them should they win the nomination.

Is Palin running? You tell me.

She bought a huge new home in Arizona to serve as a base of operations.

She green-lighted and fully cooperated with the movie .

She is on a grass-roots tour taking in important primary locations.

She has re-hired her travel consultants, Jason Recher and Doug McMarlin.

She is polling high among the GOP and is not even a declared candidate.

The MSM is convinced she is running, or they would not continue to persecute her, as shown by their begging their audience to dig for dirt on her through 24,000 pages of her e-mails.

She is running, I just don’t know when she will announce.

If she weren’t running, then she is wasting a hell of a lot of time and money inefficiently and for no apparent reason. Does that sound like Sarah Palin to you?

She is absolutely going to run and I think she will win.

She’s already runing. We know it. Why does the media keep playing these reindeer games?

One of the more foolish sentences of the year.

Some reality here. Palin has huge, fatal negatives among the middle 20% who decide elections, and she knows it. She has no personal burning need to run and subject herself and family to another battering election.

She realizes many other candidates can carry her message and effect it in DC. She would be much happier being the person behind the winning candidate, rather than the candidate herself.

And BTW, It is doubtful that any of the currently announced candidates will win the nomination.

And the list of possibilities goes far beyond Perry... who would be very good.

It will NOT be Romney.

She is not running, because she doesn’t want to run.

Period.

if Sarah Palin runs, the media has already shot all of their ammo. They have done everything they can possibly do to destroy her but she has learned how to counter them via Facebook, Twitter, and streaming video. The accusations against Palin and her children have been flying in for two years and have failed to destroy her.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR MONTHS!!!

Is she even running? Thats a question right there.

Of course she's running and she is smart enough to let the MSM campaign for her. Everything they do enlightens the people as to who she really is and showcases what vile toads they really are. Witness the most unconventional electrifying campaign in our country's history.

Another thing that I have considered and think about a lot is that Todd Palin has been vetted by the MSM just like Sarah has and they came up with zero. He is a real man and is a proven winner and is her teammate and soulmate. I believe that they are comparable in intellect and have the same values of patriotism and good will for the people of America, a dynamic duo of goodness and integrity. I feel so strongly that Sarah and Todd are what’s needed for our country at this time that I donated to SarahPac last night and that’s the first time I’ve ever donated to any political campaign.

I know one thing for sure and for certain. If we, on the “hell no to you commiescum libtards!” side of things don’t stop letting the media pick our candidates for us, we’re always gonna be stuck with commiescum libtard approved runners on both tickets.

Bookmarked for posterity.

I guess she bought that house in Arizona just because she’s sick of the snow and Moose hunting. Riiiiiiiiight. Suuuuuuuuure.

Had she been running, the house would have been in Northern VA.
