Palin Plots Her Next Move (Newsweek released article early because of high demand)
Newsweek ^ | Sunday July 10, 2011 | Peter Boyer

'I believe that I can win a national election,' Sarah Palin declared one recent evening, sitting in the private dining room of a hotel in rural Iowa. The occasion for her visit to quintessential small-town America was a gathering of the faithful that would have instantaneously erupted into a fervent campaign rally had she but given the word. Instead, it had been another day on the non–campaign trail, this one capped by a sweet victory: she had just attended the premiere of a glowingly positive documentary about her titled The Undefeated.

“The people of America are desperate for positive change, and deserving of positive change, to get us off of this wrong track,” she told me during a conversation that lasted late into the night and, inevitably, kept returning to the subject that has titillated the media and spooked Republican presidential contenders for months: her political intentions. “I’m not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around,” she said. “But I do believe that I can win.”

If Palin doesn’t end up running, the reason will be simple, she said. “Family. If it came down to the family just saying, ‘Please, Mom, don’t do this,’ then that would be the deal-killer for me, because your family’s gotta be in it with you.”

[...]

The mainstream press is becoming less and less relevant,” she said, adding that she would have no hesitation in shunning media outlets she does not trust.

“I would say no to those who have lied about me. There is no need to reward bad behavior. I’ve learned. You know, once bitten, twice shy. I have learned.”

You should really try to stop telling people what to think.

Thanks SJB. I’m glad we see things pretty much the same way.

I think Sarah enjoys the crucible...Control the media when
ya can where ya can and leave ‘em in the dust otherwise.

I think so, too!...
Palin realizes the LMSM, Is 'in the Bag' for OBahbah.
She'll always be asked the "Gotcha" Questions...
Whereas OBahbah, Is asked "Softballs" ....

Then I guess we can put you down as a vote for Obama? Your virulent campaign smacks of paid commercialism.

Then I'm doing a lousy job as I avoid these threads until I can no longer stand the stupidity of your love-struck fools.
