Coulter on Palin: Let’s face it, she’s probably not electable
Hotair ^ | 09/06/2011 | Allahpundit

Interesting segment, not because Coulter’s advancing any new criticisms of Palin but because she’s willing to acknowledge openly the political risk on the right in criticizing her in the first place. According to Coulter, conservatives refuse to challenge Palin publicly because they don’t want to deal with the hate mail from her supporters. That’s part of it, I’m sure — by now, all columnists and bloggers know what awaits after criticizing Palin or, say, Ron Paul — but I suspect the better part is that there’s simply no faster ticket to RINOville among some grassroots conservatives than uttering a discouraging word about Sarah. It’s the ultimate “one of us” litmus test; not even a right-winger as stalwart and confrontational as Coulter is immune, apparently, from the inevitable establishment/RINO/sellout/”Beltway cocktail party” nonsense afterward. That said, I’m curious why she’s speaking up now. Has she reached the point where she just doesn’t care anymore? Or is she so worried about the election that she’s willing to lose some fans in the interest of maximizing the GOP’s advantage?

Exit quotation: “She’s become sort of the Obama of the tea party, she’s just ‘The One’ to a certain segment of right-wingers.” Click the image to watch.

Also, of course she didn’t announce Labor Day, everyone was expecting it. Seriously, read Art of War and you will have no doubt what Palin is doing and certainly will have no doubt that she IS running.

Yup, and she will upstage Perry by a long shot, and now that she is more polished with her message and no longer intimidated by a tough interview by some leftist sycophant like David Gregory, Nothing I have ever heard from Sarah Palin leads me to believe she is to the left of any candidate announced or presumed, only Marco Rubio comes close

Nope the fat one, Cristy is the one tingling Ann’s legs.

A blast from the past.

In your heart you know she’s right.

[Elections typically consist of choices among people who have DECLARED THEY ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE]

Then you should have no problem after Palin declares later this month waiting four months to have her kick Perry’s butt.

It amazes me how many women just cannot stand Sarah.

My wife is an animal lover and says she will never vote for Sarah Palin because of her shooting that Caribou on the hunting trip with her dad while shooting "Sarah Palin's Alaska"

But I believe she will not be able to vote for Obama, cause she thinks he is in way over his head just as much as I do. :-)

My wife sports a bumper sticker on her car that reads "I've tried to see things through Barack Obama's perspective, but I just can't stick my head that far up my a_s" :-)

Agree with Ann 100%. She is not electable, and if she joins the race, she will serve as a ready distraction for the media.

Many FReepers hold Palin like a cargo goddess, they will place all their conservative goals in this mystical female. Fact is that she quit the governorship to make speeches for Republicans against Obama, when hey, she about the same credentials as he does. Long before I joined FR, I noticed the support for Duncan Hunter. Lets be realistic.

Rick Perry might not be the perfect candidate, but he is the closest thing that will defeat our current loser president.

“Those people are potential voters. She’s turned a lot of them off. That’s the point that is being made.”

I don’t think those people really matter. Not as far as the outcome is concerned.

It’ll be interesting.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Palin is electable. Too many woman feel threatened by her. Too many woman want to be taken care of. That’s why they voted for Obama. Sarah stands for real strength and independence and they can’t handle it.

If it is not her time now, then there will never again be a time, we will have done to ourselves what no foreign power ever could.

Maybe Kruschev Was correct, we will sell them the rope they will hang us with. Have to picture in your own mind when he was pounding his shoe on the desk at the UN.

She has repeatedly said, if we don’t nominate Cristy, then Eomney would be the one.

Could that be part of Sarah’s plan, to flush out and expose the pretenders?

You mean those "pretending" to actually want to win the presidential election? You Palinistas are hilarious.

“Everything Ann said was exactly right.
There is no way Sarah Palin will ever be elected President.”

If the election is a foregone conclusion, then you’ve earned a well deserved rest! But if you know Palin’s a major threat to your boy, we’ll be seeing quite a bit of you for some time to come, won’t we? ;^)

I hope she announces her intentions soon. Her supporters, except for the few dozen around here who are especially nasty, are good people and good conservatives.

The blueballs they're experiencing from Palin being cryptic are starting to drive them up the wall. I know they're pretending that that is really all part of her grand mavericky plan, but every day it seems more like they're being played.

Haven't decided who I'm supporting yet, but I've already put my money where my mouth is on Palin's chances at the nom.

Well, I guess you let everyone know that YOU’RE not getting any...
