She need to annouce pretty soon, if she is serious and gets in to win.

But, isn't that going to make you upset?

“Sarah brings something unique to the political landscape that others do not. She’s familiar with natural rights and their relationship to events that ultimately determine ‘happiness’- be it bears, wolves, moose, or humans.”

And this identifies another reason that libs fear her. She will help restore this aspect of “America” the Left has spent years ‘educating’ out of society at large. Don’t need to depend on govt. when you can depend on yourself.

Obama remains reasonably popular despite his blunders, anti-American antics, unpopular policies, and dismal economic conditions. I am baffled that his approval rating remains reasonably high despite the negative sentiment of the country.

Seriously. Put down the LSM and back slowly away.

No, I am not and won't be voting for him either (presuming my vote even matters by the time the nomination fight gets to Texas; it may just be a protest vote). Romney has flip-flopped on so many issues there's no way to tell where he stands, and he's taken some positions of convenience (e.g., his states rights explanation of Romneycare). For a candidate with resources, Romney can be beaten, precisely because of his inconsistencies, but right now, he's the favourite, because so far no one has the resources and the only people attacking his flip-flops are the Democrats.

I haven't decided who I'm going to vote for yet, but I won't be voting for Romney.

Sarah Palin's tease is wearing thin at this point, for me at least. She loves the spotlight, no question about that, but shows no sign of putting together a credible campaign organization. Mounting a winning campaign for a presidential nomination is hard work, let alone mounting one for the presidency itself. So far, all she's proven to me is that she loves the celebrity life, but would not want the work involved in running for the nomination and presidency. The more she continues this tease, the less I admire her.

I don't think Palin's going to get in the race

You seem like a pretty intelligent person. What caused you to come to this conclusion? Just curious.

‘Obama will not win with unemployment where it is and its not going to improve with his policies in place and the fear that more of them will be.”

I wish your assertion was true. It will be very difficult to beat Obama even with the dismal economic situation. More than half of voters receive substantial government transfer payments. A large part of this group will vote for any Democrat. Obama remains personally popular which is a big boost to his re-election chances. His popularity may be due to the media’s cheering.

You are right about the historical importance of unemployment. Offsetting the unemployment numbers somewhat however is the large amount of government transfer payments given to more than half of the population. Democrats have expanded most entitlement programs and created some new costly programs.

If Sarah would get in, she has my vote, none of those currently in the race have a chance to beat Obama, and that includes Romney, whom I don’t like in the first place.

Based on logic and reason and giving credit to Sarah of being smart and logical, I still don’t think she will run. But her statements to Newsweek may be indications that she is seriously considering running — or she is just teasing us.

..Everything’s ok except her jawline and chin, which seem to be not fatter, but heavier boned.

That's what I noticed first, too. And second, her hands have been enlarged. I met her in person, as many of us have, and she's a small person with small hands. I'm not large (5'5" and 125 lbs), and her hand is smaller than mine. It's not even a very good job - you can tell at the wrists - and I think she always wears her wedding ring. (Maybe I'm wrong?) I don't do photoshop but I can do these things in Paint Shop Pro. Yes, the picture has been messed with. But try as they might, it doesn't get their desired effect, does it? :-)

I think she got burned out during the last campaign; I think she enjoys her current role as a spokeswoman for conservatives, campaigning for other candidates through her PAC, she can still impact the outcome of the nomination, etc.; I think she's considering the impact on her family. In short, I think she enjoys her current position much more than she seemed to enjoy campaigning in 2008 (according to the various accounts I've read).

I don't know if she won't run, because her actions and interviews send mixed signals (e.g., the bus tour began on the eastern seaboard, but then you have the documentary release in Iowa), but I'm inclined to think she won't.

With boobs like that she has never been and never will be a loser.

I'm not offended by that statement (but, then again, I'm a guy).

Yeah, Sarah's well endowed, alright. Just a sign of good health, as far as I'm concerned. She's one woman whose brain really does interest me more than her body.

“In short, I think she enjoys her current position much more than she seemed to enjoy campaigning in 2008 (according to the various accounts I’ve read).”

Don’t forget that in 08 she was under the thumb of McCain ‘handlers’ whereas this time, she’s calling all the shots.
Were I her, I would not have liked the treatment they dished out either.

You pointed to him twice, that’s why I asked.
I agree, he has flipped more than Kerry. I disagree, though about the polling data. The media wants Romney, they think he will lose, so my opinion is a lot of these polls are rigged.

Try this out, Im about 65% sure that Obama wont even run. That’s my opinion, too..

What on earth are you going to do with yourself if Palin steps into the race and (gasp!) wins the nomination?

Answer true, now. Everyone’s watching.
