Sarah Palin may be once again dreaming of the White House and a run for the presidency in 2016.
After a long absence from the political arena, Palin appears to be strategically increasing her appearances and speeches while also taking solid aim at President Obama. This has led many political experts to conclude that she is aiming to enter the 2016 presidential race, or at least is trying to test the waters for a potential run.
The rumors kicked up a bit this week when a spokesman for the Rev. Billy Graham announced that Sarah Palin will be a guest for the reverends 95th birthday. Graham still carries great political sway, so much in fact that Mitt Romney carved out time to meet with Graham in the final days of the 2012 presidential race in the hopes of earning a public endorsement and assuring conservative voters.
Grahams birthday celebration is also drawing other big names in the conservative world, including real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Sarah Palin has also taken her political tour to Iowa, one of the most important states for Republican hopefuls. On November 9 Palin is slated to speak at the annual banquet for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, an important conservative and evangelical group.
After spending a long stretch away from the spotlight, Palin is also ramping up her political attacks on President Obama in what could be the groundwork for her 2016 platform.
In a Facebook post entitled Obamas Debt Default is on His Shoulders While We Shoulder His Impeachable Offenses, she placed the blame for the debt limit fight solely on Obamas shoulders.
Defaulting on our national debt is an impeachable offense, and any attempt by President Obama to unilaterally raise the debt limit without Congress is also an impeachable offense, Palin wrote.
If Sarah Palin is planning a 2016 presidential run, she will have even more ammunition to boost her resume in the coming weeks. On November 12, three days after her planned speech in Iowa, Palin will be released a book taking on the conservative-friendly topic of the War on Christmas.
Pain promises that in the book titled Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas she will tell you how to fight back against those politically correct Scrooges who seem to hate not just a beautiful holiday, but an entire faith.
Sarah Palin is still a long way from an official 2016 presidential run, however, and likely wouldnt declare any intention to run for several months.
Please tell me, when did she “pull out”? I don’t recall her ever being in.
You’re not big into the sarcasm thing, are you?
The only thing that can save obamacare, is the upcoming GOP presidential race. This is going to end up being a couple of RHINO’s vs. a stage full of (Conservatives vs. Conservatives). The media will have a field day and the GOP will spend most of it’s money on the RHINO’s primaries instead of the having it for the national election.
I think possibly you did not see that particular interview.
You think I am a sleeper troll since 2000?
I simply do not think Palin is at all up to the job, and if she screws up this election, whatever kind feeling I have toward her will be gone.
Oh, yeah, that's it. We all like her because of her looks. Give us a break, chump. We have far more brains than you give us credit for.
And by the way, you are the one displaying ignorance if you think I accepted the SNL version. They said front porch. Sarah said Alaska, and that is what I quoted.
I like Sarah....but....I would not vote for her in the primary. She has not bounced back very well other than her few die-hard fans. Right now her image is more pundit than President.
I’m looking for the one who can unite America again and sadly I do not think Sarah can do that.
Uniting America is a huge hurdle for any candidate, winning back America’s trust and restoring America is a huge task. Sarah has played the pundit and I don’t she can recover from that image.
She has supported many candidates loudly and clearly. She has helped many good people get elected.
We usually mark it as sarcasm, without it and not knowing you I had to check.....
my tag line says it all
LOL! That is NOT a candidacy announcement. It is a “fire in the belly announcement.” It helps you don’t apply liberal media framing. Here’s the context.
In the interview she also said she could not predict what will happen in the future, but I know that I have got the fire in my belly to try to help, to try to make a difference and if that involves running for public office at some point in the future, I’m game for that.”

another classic:
I don’t have a problem with people not liking Palin, but if they are going to reject right-wing candidates that are taken out of context and mocked by the right — then we will NEVER have a conservative president. THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH EVERY CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE.
Read the whole context of the interview and tell me one thing that is wrong with it.
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
GIBSON: Lets start, because we are near Russia, lets start with Russia and Georgia.
The administration has said weve got to maintain the territorial integrity of Georgia. Do you believe the United States should try to restore Georgian sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
PALIN: First off, were going to continue good relations with Saakashvili there. I was able to speak with him the other day and giving him my commitment, as John McCains running mate, that we will be committed to Georgia. And weve got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable and we have to keep
GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.
PALIN: I do believe unprovoked and we have got to keep our eyes on Russia, under the leadership there. I think it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more democratic nation with democratic ideals. Thats why we have to keep an eye on Russia.
And, Charlie, youre in Alaska. We have that very narrow maritime border between the United States, and the 49th state, Alaska, and Russia. They are our next door neighbors.We need to have a good relationship with them. Theyre very, very important to us and they are our next door neighbor.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: Theyre our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what theyre doing in Georgia?
PALIN: Well, Im giving you that perspective of how small our world is and how important it is that we work with our allies to keep good relation with all of these countries, especially Russia. We will not repeat a Cold War. We must have good relationship with our allies, pressuring, also, helping us to remind Russia that its in their benefit, also, a mutually beneficial relationship for us all to be getting along.

I don’t think conditions in today’s New America would give her a whit of a chance, but she’d have my vote and enthusiastic support anyway. She can fire up the conservative base like no other.
I know you can read because you are posting here. But did you not read the sub-caption?
“...and how she’ll decide whether to run in 2012.”
Strike two. Care to try for a third?
We SHOULD have a senator from Alaska named Palin right now. She flubbed up on that one. Now we are stuck with Miss Write-in who is a big RINO.
Case in point... when democrat operatives attempted to burn the Wasilla Bible Church mere days after the 2008 election. Those thugs were heading out of town after weeks of digging (and inventing) dirt on Palin and her family during that campaign.
The church burning was conducted while dozens of church members and families were inside. As accelerant was found at the entrances, the message from the dems was, "we intend to kill you."
No one will ever convince me that wasn't a terror attack planned and executed by 0bama sympathizers.
Notice the whole issue was quietly swept under the rug?
That is so funny, if in 2011 someone said Palin ‘wasn't’ running that was a liberal talking point, but now if someone says she was running that's a liberal talking point.
Here's a classic posted on Conservatives4Palin June 30 2011, with some great questions :
How many times, and ways, can I keep saying this until it finally sinks in?
SARAH PALIN IS RUNNING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and has been doing so for, at least, the past 2 years.
This decision, by Mrs. Palin and her family, was made immediately before she resigned as Governor of Alaska. In fact, it was one of the principle reasons for her resignation.She knew, as anyone who analyzes that decision, that she could not run for the Presidency while fighting off the frivolous lawsuits of her enemies for 2 years.
She knew she needed to be free to travel the U.S. and connect with the American people. Which she has done exceptionally well.
That decision, was the start of her “campaign.”
One need only ask some basic questions to determine Mrs. Palins intentions.
1 For what reason would Mrs. Palin insert herself into the 2010 election cycle? Why go out of her way to “endorse” local candidates all over the United States? And mostly TEA Party and grassroots conservative candidates?
2 For what reason would Mrs. Palin take her entire family on a “bus tour” of historic sites around the United States? The key here is the BUS. If she wanted to tour these sites, she could easily do it in her family vehicle. Why stir up all the attendant media coverage?
3 For what possible reason would Mrs. Palin need a movie about her political career? Remember, she had her staff approach Mr. Bannon about making some “short” segments. It was Mr. Bannon who made the decision to make a 2-hour movie, using his own money. Why didnt she just say no?
4 Why is she supporting this movie with appearances all over the United States? What is the point of traveling all over the U.S., generating press coverage everywhere, and shaking hands and speaking with people, voters, in every locale?
5 Why are there O4P organizations in over 30 states, especially in all of the early primary states? Why didnt Mrs. Palin just tell these people to stop? Is she that callous, that she would allow these people to waste their time and energy in this manner?
6 Why does Mrs. Palin, a native and proud Alaskan, with a television series to prove it, need a home in Scottsdale, Arizona? Wouldnt this be a complete jolt to her entire family? Where is Todd Palin going to find work on an oil rig, or pipeline, in Arizona?
Why dont you all just accept that Mrs. Palin is running for the Republican nomination for President, and act accordingly?
