That won't happen, when 97% of the voting public knows who she is, and among them, over 75% don't want to see her join the race or would vote for her.
But go ahead, keep believing in the fairy tale Princess Sarah, if it makes you feel good. Just don't project too far ahead, since there is about a 99% chance she can't win. She can enter, but it will do far more harm than good. (And I think she knows it.)
“Sarah is going to have a tough row to hoe.
2 years of experience vice Perrys 12+ years of service.”
________________________________________________________
And Perry’s going to have to explain why he’s “open borders.”
He has the much tougher row to hoe.
Then former Governor Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy for the 1980 nomination on November 13, 1979.
Early September........as far as the calendar is concerned. We are still in it.
The fact is, Palin is still a private citizen. And it's amazing to watch this private citizen get folks like Clarity absolutely insane.
Oh, and Clarity, we Palin supporters don't have a problem with Palin resigning her position as Governor, because we understand why it was necessary for her to do it. What it is, however, telling though, is that folks like you never seem to harbor this same disdain for the bogus lawsuits brought against her in a coordinated effort by the Left. Please point us to your previous posts where we can see your disdain for these bogus lawsuits brought against Palin...?
(Crickets Chirping...)
Yes... I remember that. Lived through the Jimmuh Carter hell. Pretty much trying to survive in Nov. 1979... just like now. Sarah is speaking to the issues and not loved by the status quo RINOS. Very much the kind of person I can support.
I think it depends on who can people to their speeches. We know that Sarah can fill football fields. Perry? I don’t know about that. Sarah will have a huge following that will help her to become President. Perry will have luke warm support from people who will vote for him but that is about it. Can he excite people that is a legit question that really has not been asked before. Your thoughts on this?
When is the deadline date for filing? We will know then, if not before.
It obviously means nothing to dem voters. Repubs don’t have the media in their pocket and we tend to look at records rather than media hype.
And imo, O won because he ran as a black man and all the libs, dems, and white guilters ate that up. He was an “articulate” “light skinned” black man. It was a “historic” election. The Bush Admin did nothing to counteract the media throughout 8 years so we were screwed on all fronts.
Here you go with personal attacks.
Why is it that Palin supporters jump on every Perry thread, bashing Perry and smearing him with lies, but if I or a few others finally get pretty fed up and point out a few facts about Palin — such as that she still didn’t announce, we get attacked.
Someone posted a vanity full of lies about Perry and pretended it was a “comparison” between Palin and Perry. Why is that acceptable?
BTW, Palin rushed right back to Alaska after delivering a couple of speeches. Is that the action of someone who is even seriuosly considering running.
You can’t accept that Palin has no consideration for her supporters and are trying to shoot the messenger.
And what Poll would this be...?
Sorry Psycho, but if this were the reality of the way things really were; there would not be this concerted effort to discredit Palin. If she really had NO chance, and really were a joke; SHE WOULD BE IGNORED!
Sorry, but I smell fear from the Left and the establishment RINOs.
“After her speech on Monday, Palin shook a few hands and was rushed away to the airport to return to Alaska, where she will presumably spend time finalizing plans about her political future.”

She’s not perfect. She doesn’t have the standard political apparatus that the standard politician has. She can’t cotrol the media narrative, yet they’re awfully interested in what she says.
Her quitting should’ve shown you the breadth of her political skill, but I guess not. Her enemyies had found her weak spot. The weak spot was that she didn’t have a corporate sponsor, since she’d just brought them into the light, via corruption,
Look it up. I expect better of you. You are a American!
Poll: Republican Voters Say Palin Should Stay Out of Race
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/09/02/poll-republican-voters-say-palin-should-stay-out-of-race/
“Should Sarah Palin jump into the GOP nomination race or stay out?
A Fox News poll, shows that most Republicans, even tea party supporters, think the former Alaska governor should stay out of the race.
Two-thirds of self-described tea party voters said Ms. Palin should not run for president, and 71% of all GOP voters said Ms. Palin should remain on the sidelines. Expand the survey to the entire electorate, and 74% don’t think she should run.
Ms. Palin still placed third in a survey of GOP primary voters, polling at 8% behind Mitt Romney with 18% and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 26%”
Hey, I guess I’m a cricket who’s chirping. RME.
You said it...Palin supporters don’t have a problem with her quitting.
She’s not Gov Palin, she’s Ex-Gov Palin. She quit/resigned.
I have disdain for those who brought the lawsuits against her and disdain for the media.
I don’t think Palin has appeal as President outside of her supporters. She has huge appeal, just not for POTUS.
Nobody doubts that Palin has a dedicated and loyal following, but in the 2012 political world, it will take far more voters than a thin line of Populist Tea Party types. It will take a broad range of Democrat cross-overs, as well as establishment GOP, moderate and independent voters to win against a deeply entrenched election machine of this nature.
From what I see, Palin has mainly alienated, insulted and threatened many aspects of the voting public. If anything, her popularity is rapidly falling backward. It's apparent in most all the polls and it is apparent in the campaign funding statistics. Perry is about to take the lead in this area over Romney for the first time. And in a very short time period.
Sorry to dissapoint you, but since you chose to keep yourself ignorant, you will find the poll at a recent FOX NEWS poll. (Here, since you seem unable, I’ll even post it for you.)
“You can’t accept that Palin has no consideration for her supporters and are trying to shoot the messenger.”
Excuse me? No consideration for her supporters? Have you seen the size of the crowds that greet her at the various rallies she speaks at? Have you seen the adoration she receives from these same crowds? Sorry, but what we feel is the exact opposite of what you'd like to believe is true. We see Palin as somebody who has the guts to speak her (and our) convictions. We see her as a regular person who's been savaged by the Left in this country, and who has endured many arrows for the conservative cause. How could you listen to one of her speeches, and conclude that she has “no consideration” for her supporters?
Again, it really is telling that you have a problem with Palin resigning as governor, but have never criticized the Left who made this decision necessary with bogus lawsuits against her and the State of Alaska.
So, it really doesn't matter how much this lady has been smeared, savaged, and lied about by the Left. No, Palin is the greater sinner in your eyes because she hasn't announced her candidacy yet, and she resigned the governorship (due to Leftists). And to help make your point, you use the Liberal Boston Globe. Just wow.
So what. Where is it written in stone that she has to announce NOW?
Sarah Palin has her own timeline; just as the other candidates. Clinton didn’t announce his candidacy until October 3, 1991. Ronald Reagan didn’t officially announce until November 11, 1979. Was Reagan a “tease?” or “unable to make a decision before that?” Was Clinton a tease? (Never mind!!!)
People complaining about Sarah Palin’s timeline have probably been against Sarah Palin since the start. It is obvious they have their own agenda.
Sarah Palin doesn’t follow any particular script or playbook. She can’t be bought. She can’t be lectured to. She just sticks to her principles and does it her way. Sounds and looks pretty good to me! 2012 can’t come soon enough!
Of course she’s not perfect. No one is perfect. I don’t expect perfection from anyone, especially a politician. I don’t worship any person.
I like Palin. More than I like anyone in the public spotlight.
Her quitting showed me she quit the office she was elected to serve.
Enemies will always find the weak spot. It’s nothing new.
She’s doing a fantastic job attacking the media and Obama and I think that’s awesome.
If she enters the R primary, and I don’t think she will, we’ll see.
Of course I’m an American. I can support other Candidates and still be an American.
I don’t have white guilt or female guilt or any other guilt.
