Palin feeds the press (Interviewed for over an hour, press ran out of questions)
Polutico ^ | Friday August 12, 2011 | Ben Smith

Sarah Palin outlasted most of the few dozen reporters, photographers, and camerapeople who mobbed her on a visit to the Iowa State Fair that seemed aimed first of all at meeting the national press.

By the time she trudged up a dirt parking lot to the fair's VIP area, only ten or so reporters were left, and we'd run out of questions. She looked up, seeming a bit startled by the silence, and drew a few more.

Oh please!!!!’ give us a break! Sarah is not Fred Thompson the lazy. She ran for governor all over Alaska going into almost every little hut and bar for votes. She can raise money like crazy! Even Haley Barbour said that she has amazing fundraising abilities and one of the people with her today was a deep Iowa fundraiser who is now her friend Becky “something”

“Denial is for the weak-minded.”

History books will point to July 3, 2009 as the day the Alaskan governor declared her run for the 2012 presidency.

The first female President of the United States will be inaugurated Sunday, January 20, 2013.

“Madame President” -> Get used to it. It’s the new reality. No use trying to hide.

So there goes the claim she won’t give the media any opportunities.

I love how she continues to destroy their narratives!

Thank you for posting that. I think that easy and sexy (yes, sexy, I said it) relationship between her and Todd drives the media hags stark, raving mad. It was funny to see her shaking her husband’s hand and saying, “Thank you for that, Todd. I respect you for that, Todd.” May it stick in their craws like chewing gum in their hair!

IN So, she DECLARED in 2009.

You might want to alert the media.

Sarah too, because today she was saying, “IF I were to run”

You make a good point. There has been no "breakout" candidate. Looking at the stage last night that was never more clear.

One of the Fox pundits said there was no one voters would crawl through broken glass for as Republicans would've for Reagan or Democrats would've for Bill Clinton.

I don't know if Palin will run but I'm glad Perry is entering the race because we need someone else. I didn't feel a man or woman on the stage last night would beat Obama.

She might wait to see if Perry has the fire and launches well or if he leaves people wanting. Palin might see herself as a last resort if the GOP can't find someone else, someone good. Some people step up when other options are exhausted and she might be that way.

My personal belief is that she decided to enter the race some time ago, and is delaying her announcement for tactical reasons. However, she has said in the past that she would get in if she didn't feel there was a candidate in the race she could support so you could be right. Time will tell.

If I’m obvious, then you must agree she’s not running.

You don’t have the chops for this..

LOL.

One of the Fox pundits said there was no one voters would crawl through broken glass for as Republicans would've for Reagan or Democrats would've for Bill Clinton.

That should tell you all you need to know about that pundit.

Bill Clinton never earned a majority. He won two pluralities.

America will crawl over broken glass to rid themselves of this oversold mediocrity.

Then you think her play, is to wait until 2 or three emerge strong from Iowa, and Perry gets in, so all the big $$$ donors have found a horse, then.....Jump in late....Like Fred Thompson

Fred didn't fail because he was late; he failed because he was lazy.

I just love this woman for the way she manipulates the Press. While I don't support her for President, I got to say this was very Reaganesque.
