I think she almost has to run. If she keeps stringing the decision out much longer and doesn’t run, she’s going to leave her supporters feeling like they’ve been conned. I don’t think Sarah Palin is a con artist.
A loophole on a bill she fought for and passed.
I don’t trust any politician 100%.
Her media appearances, most of what drives her, seems to be centered on keeping herself rooted in attention, most definitely aimed at attention she can control.
If she gets into the race, she will lose that control. She seems to avoid that at all costs. Her entire aloof and obscure non campaign to date simply does not look good and will prove to be her greatest difficulty.
I do not hate Sarah Palin. I hope she finds a great life for herself. She is just not the right kind of individual to run such a massive Government or economy as this one. That task belongs to a top notch Executive like Rick Perry, who is capable of managing this extremely complex nation, composed of over 300 Million people with drastic differences and beliefs.
Perry ducked the Demint debate. Perry was too busy worrying about the debate and running for POTUS that he wasn’t concerned enough about Texas and the fires. He ran back to Texas and ducked the Demint debate.
Circular crap.
Which is it? He screwed Texas and Texans by ignoring the fires in the State he’s Govenernor of to campaign for POTUS or he ducked out of the debates to do his duty as Governor?
It gets confusing sometimes.
It’s pay per view, but I think it was well worth it because I learned so many things that I had not known before. I have always admired Palin as well, but my admiration of her grew even stronger after watching the movie which I didn’t think was possible. :)....I watched it with my mom and my sister and we were all cheering. (When I left after the movie ended my Mom said she was going to go inside and watch it again!!!!) So, I think other Palin supporters will really enjoy the movie. I think WalMart is going to sell the CD in October and Netflix should have it soon too.
Well of course if you say so then it must be true.
GMAFB.
I voted for Reagan too.
Heh, a vote is too valuable to throw away on someone who can’t come close to winning. See how that works?
It’s not 1980 0r 1984. Reagan couldn’t win today with Republicans or Conservativres.
Sure. I voted for Reagan and he was democrat long before he became a republican.
Perry wasn never liberal. Neither was Reagan. Times have changed.
I agree. That is what primaries are for.
If she comes out strong with a bold actual plan with details and a solid core group of aids that will both communicate it and then implement it she has a serious chance. She knows a lot about energy, she should start there.
If not, well...
I don’t think she’s a con artist either. Her fanatic supporters are putting her on a pedestal.
She may run. I just don’t think she will.
I suggest you flash back to 1980. They said exactly the same thing about Reagan. When the results started pouring in the media was in shock. What couldn’t happen happened.
Don’t give up the fight before the fight, that’s the only sure way to lose.
I don’t think she needs to be in control at all times (even though there’s nothing wrong with that). She doesn’t control her family.
I do think she’s controlling to the best of her ability what’s being presented or rather what she responds to. I admire that. She’s driving the MSM crazy and that’s alwzays a good thing.
If she gets into the race, she will lose some of her freedom. Much of her appeal right now is that she bucks tradition.
IMO
If she does, will you fight for her?
I’ll check it out. Thanks for your post.
I voted for Reagan back then.
It was a different time, imo. The same doesn’t apply. It’s not 31 yrs ago. It’s not 50 yrs ago or 100 or 200 yrs ago.
Yes.
Nice effort, Clairity. But like Wile E. Coyote you just missed the Palin Road Runner. The quote you cite is mistaken. In the July 13, 2011 interview with Hannity, Palin did not say "early September." What she said in response to a question about the timeframe for a final decision was:
"August and September you do have to start laying out a plan if your are to be one to throw your hat in the ring."
The video of the interview is here: Governor Palin on Hannity – July 13 2011
And darned if that Palin Road Runner didn't up and "start laying out a plan" in her Indianola speech Sept 3.
Sorry you couldn't win this one, but we do have a lovely Palin presidency as a consolation prize.
Victor needs to rethink if he wants a candidate that starts wasting money early like the status quo . Tea party aint about wasting cash. Just because the rinos have started wasting the cash doesn’t mean Sarah has to as well.
If she doesn’t run ...fine. She’s a conservative cheerleader that has a record that meets more than 80% of what I want in a presidential candidate. I hope she does run.
I’m in no hurry shy of getting the Dali’Bama out of the damn white house.
I wonder why folks want her to declare now ? I think the cutoff is end of this year for filing. Primaries next spring etc...
Spend like your going to lead. Conservatively. Set an example. No need to spend half ones political term in office running for election or reelection etc...
Your 4 or 6 year office shouldn’t give you the right to use halfe of the term to campaign for the next term. Albeit not Sarahs situation I believe she will spend PAC cash better than any other polidiot by waiting to jump in the race as long as possible.
My opinion from the cheap seats....
Deadline to be on the ballot in Florida is October 31. South Carolina is November 1. Not sure after that, but some of the others aren’t much later.
