Sarah Palin has long refused to reveal whether or not she will run for president in next year's election. But today the former Alaska governor has revealed if she doesn't, it certainly won't be from a lack of confidence.
In an interview, the Tea Party favourite said she believes she can win a presidential election - but still refused to be drawn on whether she will launch White House campaign.
Appearing on the front cover of Newsweek for the fifth time in three years, she said: 'I believe that I can win a national election.
'I'm not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around. But I do believe I can win.'
It's the latest hint she may still run. The comments follow a campaign-style bus tour and, most recently, the premiere of a documentary about her life, The Undefeated, in the key election state of Iowa. Despite not having declared her candidacy, she has 16 per cent of Republican support according to the latest Gallup poll, and is second only to Mitt Romney, on 24 per cent.....

Oh, the July 26th thing — li’l child do you think she could not announce that she will declare before that?
You must be new to politics, li’l child.
Pay close attention, child — there are many of us who will guide you.
If you think that someone who can’t “declare” can’t announce then you really are a neophyte in need of great protections and care, li’l child.
As you said to “E” in post #60 -

“Your attempt to evade my direct questions is pathetic.”
It’s amazing how liberals always seem to do exactly what they accuse others of doing.
So, who is your RINO of choice?
>>I never denied anything. You’re just an idiot.<<
Oh, good to see you represent Gov. Palin and her supporters.
Which part of your whip-sharp invective would you prefer I address first? The admission that all who you do not support are RINOs or that all you have is ad hominem?
Both help Gov. Palin so much. And do you well as an advocate of Conservative values.
You are here and now saying Herman Cain is a RINO because he is not Gov. Palin (the diminutive name ‘Sarah’ as those of you who have never actually met her use)?
Do you think Gov. Palin wants your help in this manner to unite the Conservative base? Because, as we all know “idiot” is a polite term we Conservatives use with each other. Like the “N” word in the black community.
You represent yourself, and your ilk, well indeed.
>>It’s amazing how liberals always seem to do exactly what they accuse others of doing.<<
So, you have run out of arguments and are just goind to straight ad hominem.
My point in that post was clear and his/her/it;s evasion as clear as yours in this post.
Strawmen, ad hominem, non sequiteurs — is this the best Mrs. Palin’s supporters have?
Maybe it isn’t her strategery we should be concerned with. Perhaps we should examine her “base.”
You simply vomit words.
Remember how you pulled the same tired old games on the religious thread, the one where I gave you the cold remedy?
You even called on the Religion Moderator and asked for me to be suspended.
I responded with links to your posts demonstrating how you committed the very same acts you whined about. You really back peddled after that!
Do you really want to go there, again?
You really aren’t clever enough to pull this off.
And yet, you have not ever answered any of my challenges.
You don’t vomit words, since that is too substantial.
You just spit up random words like baby pablum.
Answer my challenges or begone as the sycophant you are.
Admit you can’t think for yourself, be at peace, and go and lick the gravel on the roads that your personal goddess may have trod.
Admit it and all will be at peace.
Else, I shall once again draw upon “logic” and “facts” and force you into using your only tool — ad hominem — available.
Please don’t make me do it — it is painful for me every time I must use that blade.
You don’t address my issues: you just call me names. What kind of person does that? Hmmm... no ability to parse logic, completely invested in a particular person-based ideology, attempts to paint detractors as being bad while providing zero counter arguments... what kind of person does that?
Hmmm....
>>You really aren’t clever enough to pull this off.<<
And yet you offer nothing.
If you want to quotemine me from other threads, in clear violation of all rules, have at it. I know your type, and so does everyone else.
You didn’t answer my challenge. You CAN’T answer my challenge.
I ask a simple question, I get ad hominem as an answer.
res ipsa loquater.
Ooohhhh...concern troll is concerned!
And if you are so hell bent on the rules, you really ought to stop the name calling before someone pulls a “freedumb2003” and reports you to the moderator.
Yes, I implied that any GOP candidate who is not Sarah Palin is a RINO.
I express my opinion, and you go out of your freaking so-called mind.
How many wives have divorced you now?
>>Ooohhhh...concern troll is concerned!<<
Good to see you continue to represent Gov. Palin well with logic and analyses. Your posts states her positions well and represents her values admirably. How silly I was to challenge your...um what was your position again? Anyway, I am sure that as an adherent of Gov. Palin’s positions in this matter, your point is well made — please provide the link for aid points so I may reproduce it for people on these latter posts on the thread.
I am sure she is quite proud of you and how you use your considerable charm and grace to to encourage people to help her in whatever her next phase of life may be.
I sure would be.
>> you really ought to stop the name calling before someone pulls a “freedumb2003” and reports you to the moderator.<<
OK, in which post did I call you a name? I can certainly post the links to names I have been called. And of course I MUST insist you prove that I “reported you” to the AM.
You don’t get to just post stuff and hope it sticks.
And you don’t really get to create rules just for you, ya know.
Just a word to the wise for the best representative for Gov. Palin we have.
I’m not here to represent Palin. I’m my own person. Actually, I’m arguing with an idiot. You’re beating me with experience.
Perhaps I should go through this thread and copy/paste examples and links to posts made by you where you have insulted other posters and called them names.
We could invite the admin moderator, just for kicks.
Don’t you liberals hate it when we use your own playbook, “Rules for Radicals,” against you? How much does it suck when you’re held to your own standards?
>>I’m not here to represent Palin. I’m my own person. <<
I’ll LOL and leave the thread with that statement.
If you can sell that one, I have a bridge you can buy — cheap.
>>We could invite the admin moderator, just for kicks.<<
Have at it.
AM: I hate to get you involved. There has been some pushing and pulling, but other than some dripping sarcasm, I have been trying to argue issues, not people.
It is probably unnecessary to go back, but I stand by all my posts. This was about how Gov. Palin is making a big mistake. That has been my point — subsequent thread drift had to do with people (such as our friend Gz Bear) attacking me personally and then taking it personally I had the audacity to respond. The audacity of hope that their posts won’t be read, I suppose.
AM, I can almost hear your exasperated *sigh* as in “why do we have such children on FR?”
I agree and that is why I am abandoning it.
I haven’t been insulting, I haven’t been mean. But I give as good as I get and that is an old and revered FR tradition.
Bullies should never be coddled.
Good night and good morrow to all.

Let’s just let the Moderator review your posts and decide.
“I haven’t been insulting”
We have only looked at a few of your posts on this thread, and they show that your statement above is not true.
Please refrain from posting profanity disguised with cutesy little phrases.
Your post #94 had to be removed.
Can you PM with what I said?
Seriously, if I was even cutely profane I want to know what I said...
If I have been directly attacking, I will apologize.
I won’t be attacked without giving back but I want to keep out of the mud....
94 wasn’t me, was it?
That’s why I can’t figure it out...
If so, why is it seems only on Palin threads I encounter your rhetoric as to what Palin is doing wrong and should be doing right according to you? Or, do you willy nilly dispense your sage advice about all declared or potential presidential candidates?
IMO, you stopped making sense long ago.
