Palin supporters announce Iowa ad buy (May commission a nat'l primary poll that includes Gov Palin)

Some Sarah Palin supporters are still hopeful the former Alaska governor will jump into the GOP's 2012 presidential race and will run an ad in Iowa urging her to run.

Conservatives4Palin will air a television ad in the Sioux City, Iowa market asking the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate to enter the 2012 race, reports The Des Moines Register.

In October, Palin announced that she would not run for the party's nomination. "You don't need an office or a title to make a difference," she said in a YouTube video. Palin had weighed a presidential bid for months and was the subject of much media speculation.

The Register reports that Conservatives4Palin announced the ad buy Friday in a blogpost on their website.

"Your contributions have made it possible for us to run the Palin reconsider television ad next week in the Sioux City, Iowa market," said the post. "If this ad is able to build some momentum for the Governor, the best way to keep that momentum going may be to commission a national GOP primary poll that includes the Governor as one of the options."

However, with the Hawkeye State's caucuses on Jan 3, the group has little time to convince Palin to reconsider her decision and enter the race.

“.....I predict she will “go rogue”.....”

Uhhhhh.....no.

I agree with the rest of your post though, except the RP part. RP flies so far under my radar as to be a danger to ants.....

Sarah would have been our best choice of the candidates now running. Sigh........ ( As a former Dodger fan, all I can say is.....”wait until next year!”)

“I like Palin but I believe she needs to answer the charges against her, fully and completely. If she is guilty of the charges she should resign, again. We all remember how she reacted when they attacked Mr Cain, how she stood behind him, with a knife.”

As they say in the Michigan State Police public service ads, “Have you been drinking, sir? ” What should Palin resign from? When did Palin ever stab Cain in the back?

I think at some point, people just need to move on.

I don’t think losing bothers them. I think they are more comfortable in the minority.Of course they are. They are making big money as crony capitalists, by insider trading, land deals all kinds of honestb graft. They are getting rich. What do they care which party is in power. But that would all end if politicians who believed in small government and were not for sale got into power.

“Isn’t it strange that all three of you got here after Mr. Obama was elected in 2008? Hmmmmmm...”

Not in the slightest. What’s your point?

Anyway, Palin isn’t running. Don’t get mad at me, she said it. Maybe even SHE thinks she’s unelectable and she’s trying to do the right thing? Who knows.

I do know that all her big fans think she’d get the job no prob. In that case, why would anyone want to draft a candidate who would rather stay home than win and save America? Maybe I’ll never figure that out.

Get real. People donated to sarah pac because they thought she was running. If not, why was everyone so damned surprised when she pulled out. If not why are people still trying to get her to run. They didn’t donate for her to post on facebook.

First and foremost, she has said she doesn’t want to run.

So did Eisenhower. Several times. But his supporters kept at it, and convinced him to change his mind.

Granted, the nominating process was much different back then, but the point is, Palin wouldn't be the first reluctant nominee to run for office.

Give it up - she said she was out. I swear, people who claim Elvis is still alive are more in-touch than the “Sarah can still run!” lunatics...

Isn’t it strange that Mrs. Palin collect 10’s of millions of dollars in donations for a presidential run, then decided not to run?

You need to stop blatantly lying about one of this country's most stalwart patriots, noob.

SarahPAC received those donations, not Sarah herself, and they weren't donations for a presidential run. That money was (and will be) spent to support conservatives running for offices across the country.

She needs to go away. If she didn’t have the balls to put it out there when the heat was on we don’t need her.

She needs to shut up, jump in, and take the head office of the RNC and pull this party to conservatism.

It is about enough of the cute little girl crap she is playing.

Personal attacks on me will not change the history of her actions.

A staltwart patriot does not run from law suits.

A staltwart patriot does not shirk her duty and turn tail to earn millions in speaking fees.

A staltwart patriot does not run a stupid bus tour through the first primary state then abandon ship a day before the filing date. And please spare me the family excuse. Her family situation was the same in september as it was in april. Nothing changed except she had to choose between running for office and making money.

Appolgize for her all you want. I am not buying it.

First of all, *liar*, Sarah Palin, never collected any money for a presidential run. That would be illegal. SARAH PAC has nothing to do with a presidential rur, so you know nothing about it.

Secondly, Sarah Palin didn’t run from any lawsuits. Se beat all of them. They were frivolous.

She didn’t earn her money from mere speaking fees. She is also a best selling author. DUH. She gives many speeches on behalf of Tea Party patriots running for elected offices free of charges andis at least partially responbilbe for many of their elections to the US House, Senate and state houses across this nation. She raises money for charities and the GOP where ever she goes.

You’re a sorry piece of work, PDSer. You know nothing about Sarah Palin’s prayerful decision with her family. I suggest you either learn or learn some manners.
