Rick Perry to announce he's running on Saturday. No announcement news for Sarah Palin.

I’m declaring my candidate to be the winner right now.
We all know our preferred candidate is gonna win.
Getting ready to watch.
Patriots vs. Jaguars on at 8:00. Preseason...but it's FOOTBALL!!
I guess I'll just watch MS-DNC later to see what I missed. Do you think they will actually starve a child on stage???
It's Chargers vs Seattle here. The debate is probably more interesting.
Other preseason games tonight: Ravens vs Eagles, Broncos vs Cowboys, Cardinals vs Raiders.
Wake me up when regular season starts.
Thank you for getting thisup. I had just looked for it and refreshed the page and here you are. I hope it doesn’t turn out to be really boring. Santorum has nothing left to lose, so I expect he will be pretty fired up. Ditto Pawlenty. But the others, I sort of expect what we have already been hearing. And THAT will just tick me off.
If I hear titanium spine, five point plan, and all that stump crap, I will lose it. I can’t look at romney for very long and newt gags me. Huntsman? Why?
Huntsman is running for VEEP...(In my opinion) as is Pawlenty (Freakin RINO, and yes I am from MN and am familiar with his “work”)
Pawlenty was following McCain so closely last election,had McCain stopped short, pawlenty would have been so far up his arse, McCain would have had to open him mouth sopawlenty could see!
I REFUSE to support anyone that is that “close” to McLame!
Special report panel totally disrespected Sarah Palin AGAIN...This was Bret B live from the debate site.. Finally just before they closed the show,Bret said OK what about Sarah Palin, he said with a grin on his face, is this just a publicity stunt by her, and David Yepsin (sp) said that`s all it is a publicity stunt, another girl basically agreed. The last guy on the panel said it could be a one two punch by Palin, she is hear now as the first punch, and Sept 3rd to possibly announce.
Over all they disrespected her for the entire show by not mentioning her name. They wanted to talk Perry, so Perry is the one they are pushing now
BINGO...that must be why Pawlenty looks like Icabod Crane
She probably will be. Ain’t no one else on the stage that’s really a serious contender.
I wish we could see Bachmann, Palin, Perry, and maybe Bolton. THAT would be a debate worth watching. I like Santorum, but his time is over. It’s a shame too...but it’s like no one even knows he is there.
Any GOP contender would be a FOOL not to have Bolton as VP or at a MINIMUM Sec State!
*
Not even THAT close to the presidential office. I can’t even imagine it. He went to poppy bush to kiss the ring before he announced. That is all I need to know about huntsman.
I believe Perry’s strong on job creation and lower taxes, but so is Bachmann. Perry supported in-state tuition for fraud Anchor Babies, and would probably support a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. In the current field, I would rate him better than Gingrich, Romney, and Johnson, but worse than Bachmann, Paul, or Cain. I would rate him about even with Pawlenty, who believed in man-made climate change, but fessed up to it in the last debate. Of course, things can change.
Thats what it is all about.......(Not the HOkey Pokey) I mean the political ring kissing, arse kissing, underage intern kissing..you name it......it is a racket! And it is well past time, we kick arse and take names and not stand for the media or the DC “elites” selecting our candidate.
