Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation.
"I mystified," Rove said about his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future."
"Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in the public eye like she did on CNN, at the Iowa State fair a short number of days ago. she said 'I haven't made a decision.'"
"I'm just speculating that more likely than not she is going to be a candidate."
"Now I said 'I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it' because it is such a close thing and I am not privy to her thought-making process. But it is sign of enormous thin-skin that if we speculate about her, she gets upset. And I suspect if we didn't speculate about her, she would be upset and getting ways to get us to speculate about her."

You know, it really is amazing to watch how this lady is always held to a higher standard than everybody else. This lady has busted her balls trying to get good people elected, standing up to the Leftists and the establishment RINOs, and generally being savaged. Yet all you can come up with to bash her is her speaking well of McCain. Are you joking?
OK, then tell us who you support in the current field, and we’ll be sure to give them the same scrutiny you want to give Sarah.
PDS is alive and well.
You got it!
Rove wants Sarah in the race. The more the vote is split the better Mitt's chances.
You've seen the CNN video of Barbara Bush with Larry King saying BB wishes SP would "go back to Alaska and stay there."
They hate Perry more.
All he said was it looked like she might be running. Not a big deal.
No, he also opined that she would probably declare on September 3 in Iowa: attempting to inflate expectations so that her supporters would become disillusioned if she didn't.
Now that he got called out on it, he and his sycophant whore flying monkey RINOs are trying to walk it back like the slime they are.
Nice try at giving them supporting artillery fire.
Cheers!
Barack Abyss Obaama is the worst Democrat candidate since Jimmuh Dhimmi Carter.
A ham sandwich could win against him.
Now is the time to nominate a TRUE constitutional conservative, since we don't have to worry about "electability".
It is now the RINOs' turn to get in the barrel and swallow.
Cheers!
ROve has made clear which side of the Republican “Divide” he is on. He falls in with the RINO/NeoCon coalition (I’m not sure they are different really).
Sarah is a Constitutional Conservative. She knows how to communicate with “common folks,” to “speak their language,” and she’s done an honest to goodness, hard days work. Karl wouldn’t want to mess up his manicure. That’s why she appeals to the “Tea Party” types that the RINO types fear so greatly. She is a threat — WE are a threat.
Don’t get too comfortable Karl. We’re comin’ for ya ;-) One day, you’ll be on the OUTSIDE lookin’ in, Brother.

And all she then did was post a note on her side remarking that many supposed DC insiders didn't have a clue what was going on.
And he was the one to call for the Wahmbulance.
No one ever really talks about it, but FR is THE Hard Right site on the net. There’s nothing close out there. All the MSM info gatherer types lurk here for info. Trust me on that.
All you have to do to prove it is ask yourself what better place than FR to gather the sense of the conservative right/TEA Party types than here? FR is the biggest and best of it’s kind.
Where did O’really go for his hit pieces? There you go. If it’s discussed here, they read it.
You're going by the polls. Dead people do not answer the phones when pollsters call.
When we were running against Carter we expected the worst and that's how we campaigned.
More like a never was.
Right, and you have mucho $ bet on In-Trade to prove you are right, right?
“Rove’s just afraid she will announce so late that he wont have enough time to bash her so Romney can win. “
There, in a nutshell is her reason for delaying her announcement and jumping early into the fray. Less time for the RINO/MSM/Libs to plot, scheme and attack.
Hey Karl apparently your “new tone” is only for your like minded Democrats.
It’s like this, Karl. SHe took enough crap the last time around...and she’s going to call anyone and everyone on it this time. She’ll make up her mind when SHE’s ready, she’s not on yours or anyone else timetable.
Sarah, if you’re reading this, know that we’re behind you no matter what you decide. And yes, I would like to see you run and upset every pre-conceived notion that bores me to tears every election season. I may not agree with everything..but anytime she speaks, there is something that most definitely resonates with me. I have not seen another candidate that I feel I have so much in common with.
