Sarah Palin says she is seriously considering a run for the White House, and she believes she could beat President Obama in 2012, the former Alaska governor told ABC News' Barbara Walters. "I'm looking at the lay of the land now, and ... trying to figure that out, if it's a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it's a good thing," Palin said in an interview scheduled to air in full Dec. 9 on ABC as part of Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People" of 2010.

Rick Perry is my Governor and I wouldn’t vote for a ticket with him and Mitt for anything.
Of the major GOP names that have been floated for POTUS, Mitt would be absolutely the very last one on my list. We cannot afford to have someone just slightly to the right of Obama. The stakes are far too high.
Most of us here are thinking victory and stopping the onslaught of socialism. The rest are playing politics, searching for the “compromise candidate.” The days of compromising are over if we are to survive as a nation. I think 60+ years, give or take a few, is more than enough compromising with the socialists. This next election will need to be the END of Big Government or it will be the end of America as we know it.
Take a look at what is happening in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. THAT is our future without a major change in direction. And you trot out Romney, champion of big government healthcare in MA as our savior!?
Mitt is not, and will never be, the answer for the Conservative cause.
Nothing is a done deal until the vote. MIssouri is so far out of reach for Obama it is laughable.
InOhio, the GOP won hte Congressional vote by 57-43. in 2008, the Dems won it by 52-47. Obam’s numbers among white voters inOhio are in the mid 30s. I do not think he can win Ohio . Ditto Florida, where a deeply flawed gubernatorial candidate won against a statewide elected popular dem. Obama is not going to be able to take Florida .
In NV, the GOP canidate for Governor crushed Reid junior.
The portents for Obama are very ominous, except in the bluest of states (which are losing Electoral votes) . And to say this is going to be another Goldwater rout if Palin is nominate (where she carries 5 states) is flatout delusional. It is hogwash.
“Nevada and ohio are not done deals. Same with missouri.”
And Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are not done deals for Obama either. If he loses either one, he is toast. And Wisconsin looks really problematic for him after what happened to Feingold against Palin endorsee Ron Johnson.
RomneyBot zot.
Romney is a slimy, flip-flopper who can't decide who or what he is without sticking his fingerin the wind to see what to do.
Thank you... I told her she had it coming!
I am with him. just go away. you have been exposed.
Romney/Giuliani 2012!
(I’M KIDDING!!)
I didn’t know that GOP_Lady was gone, she was a true Romney cult follower, she may even have left the Catholic church over him.
If you are pushing Romney here, you won’t be around for long. This is a conservative site. In case I don’t see you again, au revoir.
I can’t man up because I am a woman. By the way, that post was ridiculous.
I don’t think bad of Bristol because she was just a kid. You are quite another thing.
Jim, The Romney people are doing their fake Astroturf hand-wringing sessions again.
Lots of folks said Obama could never be elected either.
Lady GOP: Rest in Peace (3-16-99 - 11-17-10)
The media didn’t push Bristol as some kind of celebrity role model. Sarah did.
Wow, Jim got her before I could even say buh bye!
The terms are that your moderate, establishment guy has joined in the anti-social conservative push, and you are trying to stop Palin to advance him.
Romney had another big support in 2008. It was a woman FReeper but I’m blanking out on her name.
One in the same, perhaps? Oh, ZOT!
"When people were asked if Palin’s presence on the ticket was an important factor in their decision, 60 percent answered yes, 33 percent no. But of the 60 percent that said yes, 56 percent ended up voting McCain versus 43 percent Obama. By comparison, of the 33 percent that said no, only 33 percent voted McCain versus 64 percent Obama. Conclusion: on balance, people who thought Palin’s presence on the ticket was important were more likely to vote McCain by a significant margin. "
SP is ramping up the talk of her running. She may indeed announce sooner rather than later. Those of us that support her need to be ready. As she said after the mid-terms, it will need to be a grassroots effort like no other.
The next 2 years is going to be fun. :)
