Iowa Ruckus Exclusive:Palin Will Not Run for President(?)(Perry supporter Ken Crow)

[Conservative Firster]

As I jumped in my car yesterday and headed home from work, I immediately recognized the raspy, Texas-seasoned voice coming across Newsradio 1040 WHO. It was Ken Crow, founder of Tea Party of America, the organization sponsoring this weekend’s “Restoring America Event,” which will feature former Alaska Governor and 2008 Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

I recognized Crow’s voice because, while attending the Polk County GOP Summer Picnic on Saturday afternoon, I had been approached by Crow who was hoping to arrange a meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry, a presidential candidate and one of the speakers at the event. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I was at the event as a Perry volunteer, signing people up to receive additional information about the candidate. Crow, apparently not realizing that I was a nobody who has never even met Perry, let alone someone who has any sway whatsoever with his campaign (in fact, I’ve not endorsed any candidate and I was simply there as a favor to a friend), told me he wanted to meet with the Texas Governor and perhaps endorse him in the near future.

“I love Sarah Palin,” Crow told me, “but I know for a fact she ain’t gonna run.”

Ken Crow invited Christine O'Donnell to sabotage Palin.

[sinanju]

I’ve got it!

The evil witch, Sarah Palin, is planning to make a killing by having her minions make huge bets on Intrade as to when she’s announcing. It’s all too fiendishly simple.

[stockpirate]

They are out to reduce the crowd Sarah will draw to this event in hopes of getting her not to run. A known Perry supporter, saying this no less.

Perry must be very worried indeed.

[US Navy Vet]

AHHH the “plot” thickens!!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“I love Sarah Palin,” Crow told me, “but I know for a fact she ain’t gonna run.”

That's credible.

</sarcasm>

[PALIN SMITH]

"Ken Crow invited Christine O'Donnell to sabotage Palin"

You are wrong!!

Don't spread lies.

[rintense]

Why not tell Crow to stop spreading lies?

[napscoordinator]

If Sarah does not run and Michele doesn’t get the nomination than we are so doomed (I would actually say the f word if allowed). Perry is so much a snake oil salesman that I can’t believe how intelligent FREEPERS are falling for him. I don’t necessarily blame them because it has happened over and over again.

[P-Marlowe]

Ken Crow invited Christine O'Donnell to sabotage Palin.

And I thought Christine O'Donnell and Palin were pals.

If Palin is backing out because she doesn't want to share the stage with another conservative woman, then she is going to destroy her own credibility. Palin would certainly appear to be petty if that is the reason.

Let us hope that is not the reason.

Ken Crow invited Christine O'Donnell to sabotage Palin.

How does having Christine O'Donnell sabotage Sarah? Didn't she endorse O'Donnell in 2010?

[American in Israel]

“I love Sarah Palin,” Crow told me, “but..”

Nuf Said. Think I will be simplistic and stupid and wait to see what Sarah says. I bet she knows better than anyone.

[Diogenesis]

So the PerryBOTs have taken a backstabbing page from Romney.

RINOs.

Jealous, misogynist RINO Governors Attempt to Silence Gov. Palin

"GOP Governors Pull the Plug On Palin's Press Conference
The Republican Governors Conference Press Guidelines promised
that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would “take approximately
20 minutes of questions” at today’s morning press conference.
Instead, this press conference, attended by 150 local and national media
and taped by 26 video cameras, disintegrated into a fiasco
when Texas Governor Rick Perry shut it down after
only five minutes and four questions."

"Eight other governors assembled on the stage, all men, seemed
visibly uncomfortable with the “Palin at center stage” format.
When Perry stepped in front of Palin at the podium to announce
it was over just as it was getting started, Palin looked irritated,
and the media shouted, “You’ve got to be kidding,”
“This is ridiculous,” "Come on,” and
“We were promised more questions.”

[rintense]

Ah, remember Palin inferred that she believed Perry wasn’t going to run and was surprised when he announced?

I think Palin is using their own trap against them. And Crow will be eating, well, himself.

[rintense]

Everything before the BUT is Bull. It’s a typical liberal qualifier.

[P-Marlowe]

If Sarah does not run and Michele doesn’t get the nomination than we are so doomed

Well, it is beginning to look like neither of those events is going to occur. I guess we're all doomed.

[jersey117]

I think Palin is on Perry’s team. I think she’s going to be tapped for Energy Secretary.

[TexasCajun]

I'm a T.E.A. Party guy and I have no idea who Ken Crow is and don't care!

I'm sick of all these so-called T.E.A. Party leaders and their organizations.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

(((((PING)))))

[RitaOK]

I believe Sarah would elect not to appear if so-called Perry supporter, Ken Crow, had the nerve to announce that he “knows for a fact she ain’t running”. Certainly, she would come down on him as hard as she did the Rove arrogance in second guessing her.

In fact, Rove may behind this whole fiasco. He can’t stand Palin or Perry.

[P-Marlowe]

I think Palin is on Perry’s team. I think she’s going to be tapped for Energy Secretary.

Considering that both Palin and Perry would like to see the entire Energy Department scrapped, I don't see that happening.
