She’s running. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have let the crowd go on and on with the “Run, Sarah, Run” chant.
Agreed!!
She is just a good and honest American.
Pray for America and Palin
As high as she set the bar today, the *Back Benchers*, as Levin would say, are in heap big trouble, as Rush would say.
Instead of doing a balancing act, how about they report and let us decide.
HA!!! Polls are for strippers and cross country skiers! LOLOL!!!!!
“I cant recall CSPAN staying on a ropeline this long. Usually its a few minutes and then on to the next boring taped presentation. Theyve totally blown their schedule today. : ) “
Good for C-SPAN!!!
I am so happy to see this. Was called away after her speech, paused TIVO, and am still watching her move in the crowds. She’s signing away, stilling herself for pictures, talking small talk, talking policy, greeting small children, thanking people for their prayers and for being here, making jokes, laughing....
It is just breaking up now as I type, and the last thing I heard was a chant: RUN SARAH, RUN!
Have we ever seen anything like it!
Repeats tonight at 8 pm est on C-SPAN.
I think you need to read this post written by Freeper Logic'nReason, and also take a look at this snippet of her speech and then you need to be worried if you are not a Sarah fan.
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 Napoleon, “Never interrupt 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....

I watched it live, but I had flipped the TV and didn’t get the crowd mingling recorded. I wish I would have.
I just told him! Now he’s watching football, but I see that he moved “Going Rogue” and then “America by Heart” to the top of his book pile...LOL.
Oh boy!
that was one of the best speeches of the year.
Pray for America
Hi Bikkuri!
Sarah did it! She is mesmerizing!

Gave me chills and energy like I haven’t had for years.. I may just swim back to the states to see her in person :D
ROTFL @ campaign Carl. I hope he can contain his snark.
Glad to hear of a Palin conversion in your hubby!
Shall we coin a new phase for what smart people have happen, when they hear Sarah, really hear her for the first time...
They get “Palin-ized”!
Woo Hoo!
My hubby came in the room as I was riveted to the screen watching Sarah. He has been “aware” (lol) of my admiration for Sarah since 2008.
By the end of her speech today, he was no longer making little digs about her.
He was agreeing with her PLAN!
WOOT!
Wanna bet they clip the ropeline part for the repeat? I’ve seen that done before with CSPAN.
