A Palin Announcement on September 3rd Looks More Likely
Big Government ^ | Sunday August 21, 2011 | Natalie Nichols

Posted on 08/21/2011 11:51:59 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

If the Republican Presidential race were a poker game, you could say that Palin, the underdog has remained in late position long enough to see the full ring, to expose the live ones. She’s learned their tells, and she’s seen some bust, but now it’s time for her to go all in with what looks to be a royal flush.

If you’re not a poker player, you may need a poker dictionary to decipher my analogy. And “they” think she doesn’t know how the game of politics is played. The good old boys just never realized that she wasn’t playing by their rules.

If, or rather when, Sarah Palin announces her candidacy for President; Republican polls will likely shift in her favor.

[...]

It’s looking more and more these days as if Sarah Palin will announce her run for the White House in short order. If you keep up with Palin’s history, you may come to the conclusion that there is no accident in her decision to go to Iowa September 3rd for what many believe will be her big announcement. September 3, 2011 is three years, to the day, that Sarah Palin accepted the nomination for Vice President and gave her famously rousing speech during the Republican National Convention.

[..]

72% of likely Republican voters say when casting their primary vote, they favor a candidate who shares their views over one who has a better chance of winning.

That turns the notion of people agreeing with Sarah Palin, but “don’t think she can win” from a negative, into a potential strength. They are going to vote for her regardless, thus, breaking the mold of the typical voter.

Sarah should have announced earlier. She would have had a sense of "can I win" as soon as Perry announced.

The way it is, she doesn't know how many are in solid for Perry. Sorry, I think it was a dumb way to play it.....IF SHE IS IN.....WHICH I THINK NOT.....

Remember, she has an out...if no one "formidable" comes along, then I will run.

Hate to break it to all you loyal Sarah fans....But once a quiter, always a quiter.

I have nothing against her. Nice lady with nice ideals...."LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER WOMEN". Presidential??

Pay attention to what the media is doing here!

NO ONE officially associated with the event has said Palin will announce. The media is setting it up for when she doesn’t announce on Sept. 3rd, that she’s a tease, not committed, not serious, etc. etc. etc.

The truth is people involved in the event are stating that if you’re planning on going Sept 3 just for the big announcement, you’ll probably leave disappointed.

It will be a great day. But not for the reason the media is disingenuously creating

We saw how fast Perry knocked Mitt down to #2, and Bachmann down to #3. That will happen again,if Palin were to throw her hat in. Those with concerns about Perry would welcome that news. And Mitt bumped down to a number 3 or 4 position, how sweet will that be?

For someone who has nothing against Sarah Palin, you sure spend a lot of time trashing her.

I think it's a smart move letting people get a look at Perry. The closer people look at Perry the more he appears like George W. Bush, Jr. on every thing from immigration to growing government. Bush fooled us by campaigning as a conservative and governing as a liberal. Look for the same with Perry.

Karl Rove has nothing against Rick Perry's policies. Rove is just upset because he isn;t on the team.

New guy here but long time Palin fan. I really want her to run. 15 months is a long time and people can and will change their minds about her as to her electability. 1 thing I’m sure of, nothing BO’s attack machine throws at her will go unchallenged.

I just don’t see her doing it.

She has much to lose, and not a lot to gain.

As much as she is beloved around here, the MSM has made her such a caricature of herself that she will never, ever be able to get past the first few primaries.

And, in the open primaries the Dems will flock to the polls—just to get her the nomination. And Obama will limp through the election.

The Republicans will lose the White House, we will lose the best opportunity to take the Senate, and I bet we lose the House.

The Independents will NOT vote for Sarah. Period.

Sarah is smart...sharp and savvy. I question the ‘good’ of announcing on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend...an off day in the news cycle. I truly believe Palin will run (and win!) but my guess is her announcement will be the day AFTER Barry drops his load of a ‘jobs bill thingy.’

Palin needs to ATTACK Duh Won head on issue by issue...and the (true) Queen will checkmate Dear Leader once his ‘plan’ (focusing like TWO lasers!!!) is made known.

UBetcha2012!

Another poster made a comment the other nite and it makes sense to me regarding ‘any announcement’ in Sept.

Gov Palin is scheduled to appear with Glen Beck in October. It doesn’t seem likely that if she plans on ‘announcing’, that she would make such an appearance particularly with Beck.

Myth...knockd down to 4 or 5 by Palin. Hey, he could always switch registration and primary against Barry (he is ObamaLite).

Oh, you can count on stinging rebukes by Team Palin. She has been "out there" for a handful of years now and the left has continually come up empty after some vicious attacks. This election will be straight up slander and lies unlike anything we have seen.

I hope it comes down to high poll numbers for Palin and a stern message from her to the media: "The more you lie about me, the less access you and your affiliated networks will have to the White House when I am sworn in."

Well, if she doesn't announce soon, she is going to lose her edge. We have Bachmann, Cain, and Santorum in the conservative corner ... Romney, Huntsman, and Johnson in the RINO corner ... Ron Paul standing in his own corner because no one is quite like Ron Paul ... and Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich hanging out in the "words verses actions, can I trust them, I don't know" corner. Part of me would love to see Palin jump in and upset the apple cart herself. Part of me would love to see Palin become an advocate for the conservative corner and direct her many, many supporters toward advancing the conservative cause through a candidate already on the field. Either way I hope she makes a decision soon because she is holding back folks in the wings from diving in one way or the other.

There are all sorts of rumors about this lady. The latest being she will retire to Arizona and open a check cashing payday loan service.

You entire post is garbage, but this is beyond laughable. I am saving your post so that on Nov 7, 2012 I can come back and show you how wrong you were.

PDS is alive and strong with so many fake conservatives on FR.
