A nightstick the size of a telephone poll and the muscle to wield it effortlessly!
WATCH HER FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!



"Mr. _resident, GAME ON!" APRIL 16, 2011

Amid much speculation about whether or not Sarah Palin will choose to run in the 2012 presidential election, the former Alaskan Governor has announced she will participate in a nationally televised Tea Party Republican Debate.



Although Palin will take part in the debate in the Sept. 12 debate in Tampa, Fla., she still has yet to confirm that she is looking to become a presidential hopeful. However, the 2008 vice presidential candidate seems to be dropping hints via her Twitter page.

"America is waiting for the president to make good on this promise," Palin recently posted on Twitter. "I'll be talking about this and more."

Although Palin will join Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Sept. 12, some say she is only confusing her supporters.

Erick Erickson, said Palin is misleading her constituents.

"We are coming to the end of the line for Sarah Palin's ability to string the Republican primary voters along," Erickson wrote. "They are trying to settle on a candidate now, they've held out hope of her entry and

If she does run, I fully expect that she'll announce before the end of this month,

What makes you say this? She's having much too much fun to settle down and make a serious decision.

All this amateur-hour stuff is starting to turn me from a solid Palin supporter to one of those who wishes she’d just stay out of it.

Her speech tomorrow is being televised on CSPAN and now I’m hearing the cables want to carry it too, but they will cut away. I think we’ll have to have a nice LIVE thread!

I recall Michele Bachmann participated in a debate when she was not yet an announced candidate. She did announce from the stage but prior to that she was UNANNOUNCED.

Almost nobody wants her to run. I know, because I heard it on a Faux News poll ( repeatedly).

None of this is her fault. The press can’t get enough of her.

IMHO:

She will not (and should not) run.

She will support Perry.

Perry will be the nominee.

Like him or not (and on balance I do) we need to support Perry. He is not perfect, but he is more perfect than anyone else. And anyone who thought Reagan was perfect better read some objective history. And I loved Ronald Reagan.

Just remember that if we do not pull together, Obama will be the President for four more years, without having to pander to the center in order to get re-elected. An Obama second-term Presidency will be a full-out demographically divided internal assault on the Constitution and the USA.

The strongest evidence in my mind that Palin is running is that she was the VP candidate last time around, and it would be normal for her to run.

The strongest evidence that she is not running is that O’Reilly said the other night they couldn’t find a phone number where they can contact her organization. That just doesn’t sound like someone running for office.

All this amateur-hour stuff is starting to turn me from a solid Palin supporter to one of those who wishes she’d just stay out of it.

Problem is, all this "amateur-hour stuff" is coming from other people. For example, Politico's "reporting" on Saturday's speech had no actual attribution to Palin's team for anything, yet so many folks lapped up the narrative that Obama's personal PR firm was shoving.

Now we have another unsourced "report" from the Christian Post (an organization I have no familiarity with at all), and you blame Palin for what this author puts out?

Ignore the media. Nothing's official unless it comes from Palin herself or SarahPAC. Anything else is just headline-grabbing speculation and rumor-mongering.

I’ll never get tired of it because it is not Sarah writing all these stories. Patience and wait to here it from Sarah Palin, not these so called journalists, bloggers, freepers, etc... Sarah is the one who will announce. Until then this is all fodder and Barbara Streisand!

LOL. Right. 74% don’t want her to run. Never mind, that 40% of them were democrats, , but regardless of the breakdown, that still leaves 26% who want her to run, which puts her right up there in the lead with the two so-called front runners....LOL.

Bet. <-- Street slang which in this context means that I understand and it will be easy to meet because Mississipi is not far from Georgia.

Yo. <-- Street slang for I hope things go well for you until the next time we speak.

Your words are wasted on me. Please save your Perry support for someone who’s interested at this early juncture. Sarah Palin has already said she is not supporting Rick Perry right now.
