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."

IF they beat her in office as governor, what the heck do you think they will do to her as POTUS?
They won’t quit. It will be a distraction when we don’t need one.
She enacted the law that ultimately forced her to leave office.
That isn’t a resume-enhancer for any candidate.
You do not understand what PUBLISHED polls are all about at this stage of the cycle.
They are intended to drag votes to the candidate that they set up in front.
The real polls never get published but they definitely guide the buyer with truthful information.
Anyway, they’ll be happy to read your comment; it means that their money was well spent.
So ... Rasmussen is publishing phony polls in order to diminish enthusiasm for Sarah Palin?
Riiiggggghhhtttt
Palin already has the south, including Texas.
She’ll easily have the midwest too.
Her work will be the west and northeast. Look for her VP to be from one of those states.
If Romney or Perry really had any support, you wouldn’t be seeing those polls.
You assume more than you should about me. I’m not stupid. I also don’t spend all my time on conservative only political forums. THe fact is a whole lot of people really don’t like Palin. They are suffering from Palin fatigue. They want someone who will beat 0bama and get the economy back on track.
She will get the same treatment as POTUS she got after the 2008 campaign. We as a nation can’t afford that distraction. This is a vital election.
>> “Rove is right on this. Sarah got pissy because he speculated about her.” <<
.
No, she merely called out the fact that he was mistaken. (he just about always is anymore)
I know it will offend you when I point this out, but you're deceiving yourself. You wholly ignore the facts of the situation -- that the "heat" that Palin sidestepped was FINANCIAL, not political. It could be argued that BECAUSE she was so asbestos-like with regard to true political heat, the left had to resort to below-the-belt tactics of an attack of frivolous lawsuits for the sole purpose of either driving her to personal bankruptcy and paralyzing her adminstration as well, or driving her out of office. That is the reality -- political "heat" was failing, so they had to resort to trying to destroy her financially with bogus lawsuits, all of which were dismissed. You can call that "politics" if you want, but you're only fooling yourself.
You are wearing blinders -- or, in your own words back at you -- "You're deluded, or maybe even irrational."
With Perry actually in the race, the south is not a sure bet for her. Texas is a whole lot bigger than Alaska, he’s been on the job during the economic downturn and his state has fared well under his governing.
Blah blah blah. That was a nonresponse if ever I saw one. MS Windows, right now, has an expoitable bug. Do you know where it is? Can you exploit it? I didn’t think so. Hindsight is always 20/20.
>> “THe fact is a whole lot of people really don’t like Palin. They are suffering from Palin fatigue. They want someone who will beat 0bama and get the economy back on track.” <<
Looks like my assumption about you was right on the mark.
Palin is the only candidate that even has a desire to do what it takes to get the country on track. The GOP elitists and good ol boys like the status quo; they proved that with the debt ceiling debate.
Yes, Palin will get the same treatment that Reagan and Bush got, but she is far more resiliant than either of them, and knows how to dodge the flow.
The country has PDS fatigue, and will jump at the chance to have a real problem solver in the OO. The 20% that really don’t like Palin aren’t going to vote for any Republican anyway.
Murdoch is paying Rasmussen to do whatever it takes to break Palin’s magic.
Others are paying their mouthpieces to do the same.
Mmmmmmmkay.
Where do the Koch brothers fit into this conspiracy?
Just keep this in mind:

I’ve already put a couple notorious thumpers on notice that if they’ve not already been zotted before hand, the day she announces and they’re continuing to trash her, they get the zot. Guaranfreepingteed!

Well, let us know when she is done teasing and flirting around and wants to get serious.
Courtesy of another Freeper, sorry I didn’t save the name:
Mrs. Palin is remaining quiet....she is waiting....she knows her battle plan....she knows her timing.....she is learning....studying the opposition....guarding the “cubs”....waiting quietly with an occasional “roar” (like the comments at the Iowa State Fair).....reconnoitering the challengers from within and the enemY from without.....studying weaknesses....building and conserving her strength....endlessly practicing....reading...honing her skills.....waiting.....waiting.....
This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing. Candidates in...candidates out....candidates winning....candidates losing.....candidates saying silly things.....candidates saying cogent, insightful things....
It is a very very long way to next November. There is no need to rush. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, “Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” and General Patton, “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”
When she arrives, you can count on total war. She has learned how to fight. She does not spin; she does not back away from principles; she means exactly what she says...and says exactly what she means. She builds a base of support because of who and what she is....not because of who or what she panders to.
Patience.....patience....
Wait for it!
And keep the faith....
Yeeesh.
And Palin didn't make Rep. Vic Kohring (R, Wasilla) resign his house seat, and have former Republican Representatives Pete Kott and Bruce Weyhrauch charged as well with bribery and extortion related to the oilfield services company Veco Corp.
Palin's stance to fight corruption in 2006-07 had nothing to do with it -- no political heat THERE! Nope. It was the FBI, not Palin, that did the dirty work and took the political heat!
Happy now?
“Personally I think anyone that can beat Obama..and kick his policies to the curb..could pull us back.”

I agree and as much as I might hate to do it, whoever can beat him may be who I have to vote for. I WANT HIM AND HIS TRASHY WIFE OUT!!!!
Great video of the new President in 2012.
