Rove: Palin will run
The Washington Examiner ^ | 08/20/2011 | Byron York

Posted on 08/20/2011 5:22:39 AM PDT by Rational Thought

Former Bush advisor Karl Rove says he believes former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will enter the Republican presidential race sometime around Labor Day. Appearing on Fox News Saturday morning, Rove said Palin "has a schedule next week that looks like that of a candidate, not a celebrity." Rove also cited a new campaign-style video Palin has released on her recent visit to the Iowa State Fair as evidence Palin is gearing up for a run.

Has got to be killing him he is not king maker anymore and the tea party has a life of his own and he can't control them. She is the ultimate manifestation of them and doesn't play the beltway games, and will throw RNC/GOP hacks like him overboard. They fear the culture change because they are on the wrong side of history, and in their gut I think they know it. I don't know, but I am beginning to think he has issues....

” Karl Rove says he believes former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will enter the Republican presidential race “

Hey Karl, good guess. Was your first clue the campaign video she released yesterday?

Rove a Palin basher, in an article by Byron York who asked Bachmann if she ‘would submit to her husband’...

I think I’ll skip the article and the thinly veiled insults.

Whining, backstabbing RomneyBOT Rove:
"She (Gov. Palin) thinks the normal rules don't apply"

"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"


"Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively
some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,"
grumbled one veteran Republican strategist."


"Rove has made no secret
of his support for Romney as McCain's VP. "

Sarah Louise Palin

Parents were

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

I never thought she wouldn’t run. She has been gearing up since McRino lost. Anyone thinking otherwise hasn’t been paying attention to Sarah, Ms. Fire in her Belly.

Karl's beginning to wish he could board the Palin bus, but it just kept going, leaving him in its wake. Beep beep!

IMO, Rove wants Palin in to split vote and give Romney an advantage.

The elites want Romney as GOP candidate ...even if he can't beat Obama...that opens door for Jeb in 2016.

It's obvious that Palin will make her announcement on September 3, 2011 in Iowa.

Watch PayPal get bodyslammed as her campaign gets a gigantic amount of online donations to her campaign--one that could reach US$40 million or more from Americans totally sick and tired of Obama's economic policies.

I think it would be good that she runs. Not bash the others just Obama. It will take some of the heat off of Perry, I see Paul Ryan getting in also. The more the merrier. It will show the kind of people we have here on our side compared to the pathetic stuff the liberals have.

No doubt in my mind she’s running....

# 15 Link to what the Bushies, Rove, elites think of Sarah Palin, as voiced by Barbara Bush with Larry King.

Barbara Bush is disgusting, IMO.

If there was ever a doubt, here's the pudding containing the proof.

I am so relieved. She can think outside of the box. And her husband, Todd, is the kind of steady hand I’d want to see as her chief consultant. What a family. The devil will be clearing out the staffers in D.C. who have grown very powerful over several adminstrations. Republican operatives were out there with knives during her time on the McCain ticket so she probably has a pretty good idea of who they are. Rush talked abut them some time ago.

She’s going to need some of the best advisors in the business in foreign policy as well....and I hope she seeks out and is able to garner their support, particularly from the women. I would be thrilled if she sought out Condoleeza Rice, Liz Cheney for some deep discussions. I also wouldn’t be upset if she met with Hillary for the same reason. Say what you will, Hillary has truly carried the water for 0dumbo on that front. And Sarah has NEVER spoken bad about her.

My main concern is that she and Michelle Bachmann will cancel each other out and diminish the impact of the Tea Party on the primary process. The ladies should have had a heart-to-heart and decided which one was going to take up the banner for this cycle. My view all along is that Palin should keep her powder dry until the 2014 Senate elections. She’s a lock to win back that traditionally Republican seat and become a leader in the Senate.
