'I can win': Sarah Palin on Cover of Newsweek

Newsweek via Facebook ^ | Sunday, July 10, 2011, July 18 cover date

[Navy Patriot]

Newsweek's grasping at straws to avoid bankruptcy, and trying to rally the Marxists at the same time.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

that’s an unflattering picture.

OMG!

All sixteen of Newsweak's subscribers are going to see it!

Nice ,Very Nice!!!

Of course she is running. She just is refusing to play by the “rules” the establishment and the media have set. There isn’t the slightest reason to announce yet, all that would do is give the enemy a fixed target.
It would force every aspect of every thing she does to fit into campaign law.
The bus tour would have been impossible.

If this was the 1980 election,, Reagans announcement would still be several months away. November 13th.

She is Sun Tsu,, refusing to march onto a battlefield that her enemy is standing on, fully prepared, in a location they chose. And she is attacking elsewhere.

It is driving them bats*^t insane. They are running this cover to goad her. They exclude her from every poll to goad her (”see,, we excluded her until she announces”,,, Guliani is in some polls,, but not Sarah)
Meanwhile, she is touring the primary states in the NE,, Touring Iowa,,
etc

Oh yes,, she is running. But she is employing asymetrical warfare.

I think she looks great! And she looks like she could EASILY take down our limp-wrested Obama.

Sarah is always beautiful, while I must admit, I thought she looks more like her runner magazine Photo, that is still going on my homepage, I guess Newsweek didn't want to make her look presidential, they always try to put the screws to her somehow (and always fail)

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

She ain’t running PING!

[Vendome]

My pet Leprechaun can beat Obama like a rented mule.

[Palladin]

Exactly...they doctored it. She is so beautiful in person...I have seen her up close and can attest to her gorgeousness!

SUch vitriol @ Facebook. Want to see heads explode? Have Sarah take the oath in 2013.

She's been saying this for a while. If she really believed it, I think she would in the race by now. The longer she waits the harder it is going to be to staff up in Iowa, New Hampshire, S. Carolina, etc. with people who know the state and have run campaigns before. A few of these people are on the sidelines, but just saw news this weekend that Gingrich's Iowa hand has joined Americans for Perry.

The other consideration is fundraising. Overall, the GOP candidates raised less money this year than they did in 2007, which suggests there is still money to be had, but as the race keeps moving along, you've got the same problem as the staff problem mentioned above in which donors have begun to commit to other campaigns, especially if Perry jumps in, or Bachmann continues to soar in the polls (we'll get to see her fundraising numbers soon).

IF she jumps in - and I remain convinced she won't - she'll change the dynamic of the race, but I still think Romney is the odds on favourite (as of now) from a polling and money standpoint.

Why is she talking to Newsweek? Newsweek helped destroy her back in 2008.

I think she can win too..but it will be bloody.

So is Newsweek touting her with a favorable cover evidence that they think she is a good foil for Obama to clobber?

That is what many here say about anyone the media touts however briefly?

It’s not like there is not some argument for that...they sure pushed McCain.

But I think it has to be determined ...will the media push a candidate they think Orbama can beat like Palin or Bachman or do they push a GOP nominee they find easier to swallow ..like McCain or maybe Giuliani

I am happy she got a decent cover....a bit surprised.

But I am tired of all the teasing...getting the nomination is a grind...popular or not.

Has anyone come in late?

Reagan was in campaign mode more or less entirely from 76-80...what order did he announce then?

There were a slew of GOP candidates that year...Carter looked like such easy pickings

[albie]

I agree. An “unflattering” picture. It’s a man’s jaw line. They’re trying to make her look like Willem Dafoe.

[wardaddy]

She is thinner

can’t worry about looks

if she runs and wins...she will age bigtime...the men sure do

and aging is exponentially harder on gals...unfairly

[plain talk]

I disagree. I think it is a great picture of Sarah. I think she has been working out a lot which is what you are noticing
