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."

I don’t listen when Rush isn’t behind his EIB golden mike. Rove was a sub once.
No need to shout.
She would have banrupted her family all while the state would have stayed bogged down,unable to attend to the peoples needs.
Not to mention the millions it was costing the state.
Poor decisions by Generals have gotten thousands of soldiers killed.
What I have found is not dislike but rampant ignorance.
Chris Matthews was a sub once.
Meanwhile the guy from Texas is running for president on their dime after lying to the voters about his intentions.
Tokyo seeking attention from Palin again. I hope she ignores him....again. LOL.
Thanks!
Here is another thing you need to factor in here. Next year in 2012, there were be very little participation in the Democrat primaries as BHO is assured his party’s nomination.
There will be VERY HEAVY participation in the GOP primaries especially with all of the candidates running. Many, if not most states allow independents to vote in the primary of their choosing. So, you will see a HUGE independent bloc of voters voting in the GOP primaries. I don’t think this will help SP, and it will probably benefit Romney the most.

Palin is the frontrunner, in fact the only runner.
All the rest are Mediot or GOP elite window dressing.
Your weak left leaning politics do not fit in here, but you picked a fitting Handle for your style.
Enjoy your Rickmit Romperry.
You probably have it right. :-)
Rove is right on this. Sarah got pissy because he speculated about her. So frigging what? She shouldn’t have said anything. Either she stops teasing about if she will run or she simply needs to stop acting like she wants to.
Post a link to what she said about Rove.
It hasn’t been my experience at all. People are well aware of what she’s done and they just don’t like her or think she is qualified to be POTUS primarily because she quit her job and chose the celebrity route.
These are people who vote every election, they just don’t spend much time online on conservative centered forums.
And in your opinion Rove should not offer his opinion ?
Next time try the off button
Sorry for looking at the polls. Most of them show Perry and Romney leading the pack, the rest left pretty much in the dust. Even Bachmann is starting to fade. If you have a large number of conservative candidates siphoning off votes from Perry, that will surely play into Romney’s hands.
Keep in mind even deep blue states such as Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, California, Vermont, and Oregon—plus many others have decidedly moderate GOP electorates. Romney will win most of these blue states plus a lot of Western states with large LDS populations. Romney will also do well in New England and probably Michigan.
Perry needs to win the solid South plus just about everything else in order to defeat Romney. The real battleground this year in both the primaries and in the general will be the Midwest I predict.
Only the lefties that I know think that.
When I tell people that she resigned because the frivolous lawsuits cost Alaska $2 Mil they see things quite differently.
