Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation.
"I'm mystified," Rove said about reaction to his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future."
"Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in the public eye like she did on CNN, at the Iowa State fair a short number of days ago. she said 'I haven't made a decision.'"
"I'm just speculating that more likely than not she is going to be a candidate."
"Now I said 'I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it' because it is such a close thing and I am not privy to her thought-making process. But it is sign of enormous thin-skin that if we speculate about her, she gets upset. And I suspect if we didn't speculate about her, she would be upset and getting ways to get us to speculate about her."

Tokyo Rove—how many elected offices have you held?
Oh, that’s right-—none.
Shaddup and sit down.
Not everyone will get rid of his policies. We need someone that will clean out the EPA etc and cancel a lot of EO’s.
Palin has said nothing about Rove anywhere.
It is just a publicity stunt by Rove.
Okay.........
"Personally I think anyone that can beat Obama..and kick his policies to the curb..could pull us back."
It’s okay, DJ MacWow. I forgive you.
No. I think for myself. My wife used to be a solid Democrat and voted that way until BHO got elected. Now she is an independent. She is not interested much in politics and doesn’t follow it nearly as close as we do. I think she is typical of many independent voters. I think, looking at the polling data, that many independent voters think the same way of SP. SP is to the GOP what Nancy Pelousy is to the Democrats. She is wildly popular among the Party faithful, but not so among independents, and certainly a demonizing and polarizing figure among the other party.

misstatement? He speculated just like most people here.
Thanks. Not everyone is into politics.
Fine. I’ll repeat myself but phrase it differently. Not everyone has the smarts to do it.
I’m not a moron but I think the same thing. She couldn’t handle the pressure on a state level. Therefore, she can’t be trusted to handle it on a national and I might add most critical point in our history.
However you choose to characterize what Rove said, Sarah merely responded. I saw nothing to indicate that she was “upset”.
Give me your top 5....
That "have the smarts to do it".
Quit eating doughnuts Karl. . and go back to your RINO cave!
