Everybody here is worrying who would be POTUS in Jan 2013, the global economy may not survive beyond summer of 2012. Problem is EU banking system is facing liquidity problems as losses mount from sovereign default. US banks will get dragged down with them because of their leveraged exposure. Fed will keep printing or accept a stock market meltdown. Guns, food, water, gold and even a getaway plan should be on hand for what is to come. If Black Swan event occurs and people dump paper currencies for hard assets, hyperinflation no matter what currency you own because the central banks of the world printed too much. Read what happen in Mexico and Argentina when the gov closed the banks and reset the currency. Financial storm clouds are what we are heading into, and it is already too late for the middle class no matter who is POTUS.
Me too!
subversive?
That depends on your frame of reference.
Whether she ultimately acts subversively, depends upon the actions of the Republican Establishment. If they force a Romney nomination. She will be a subversive. Along with a lot of us.
Both parties are forewarned, the Tea Party is the essence of the US. It is not a political party, but it might destroy 2 of them.
When I think of Sarah Palin.... I imagine an ill equipped hunter trapped in an alder thicket being rushed by a bull moose. Click, click, click, (weapons malfunction.) Yeah, I’m smiling THAT much.
Conviction: spelled; S-A-R-A-H P-A-L-I-N.
Miss ya’ Sarah.
Not to sound alarmist, but I don’t actually think we are going to have an election come Nov. 2012....

I don’t think she’s reconsidering for this election, but I think she wants to get back into the political mainstream and will probably run for office in her new state or possibly for legislative office. That might position her for a future run.
Draft Sarah, massive write in movement is afoot.
“Not to sound alarmist, but I don’t actually think we are going to have an election come Nov. 2012....”
If that’s the case, you should invest in Guillotine manufactures.
Oh well, someday...

Not far beyond the grave.
Actually just a couple of feet on the West side of it.
Here's a couple of feet before the grave...
“What’s surprising about this: Palin really is going it alone here. Among the major Republican presidential candidates and party establishment, and even tea party activists, this type of economic and good government populism barely exists....”
****************
In 2008, I formed a very small and inconsequential website for Gov. Palin- “wegotsarah.com.”“. I dropped it in 2009, when it appeared that she was trying to forge a coalition of establishment Pubs, Hillary Clinton females and social conservatives. Politically, she was running away from her strength- and her intended coalition was never going to materialize. .
Before the “Tea Party”, there was the “Palin Majority”– the “populism” defined in the subject article. But, the Palin Majority was a “movement”- and evidently, Gov. Palin decided that she did not want to lead that movement. That’s wholly understandable. Above, a poster referenced “Huey Long”- and that is quite apt. Gov. Palin had that type of appeal, but obviously, there are consequences for credibly leading the people against the entrenched vested interests.
Now that she doesn’t represent a threat to any one, Gov. Palin writes about the sentiments that are embodied in the Palin Majority. Obviously, she knows (and always knew) where the country stands and what it wants to hear. But, for whatever her reasons, she decided not to take the lead.

Have you read Going Rogue? I am into the third chapter, second time around. It’s deeply affecting at times, and I find it hard to believe that any detractor could read her story, in her words, and not come away deeply ashamed. She is a principled fighter, and she is still fighting. Why don’t you stop dragging your f-ing feet and stand with her?
I believe that what it is- is it, as you have wisely summarized. Too bad. I think that there was a window of opportunity that could be exploited for the betterment of our nation... and yes, it would abstract a price from Sarah Palin and her family. Peace. Out.
