I got a big grin on my face for you when I read that post.
Thanks for that reminder. What a pleasure reading this thread. Real hope, unlike Obambi’s hopey, changey, rises with the thought of Sarah in the Oval office.
It’s a bold choice to wait out the other candidates and let the Dems attack them rather than her until she is ready.
Or if not ready this time around, agrees to help the primary winner as Secretary of Energy, or even VP again to take over next time. Do not like such alternatives instead of her running but SHE is the one to know best and IMHO has the good of America equally in mind as her own.
She is the only potential candidate who can stand toe to toe and beat Obambi at his own game of pulling in emotional based followers with charisma.
Like any CEO she hires all the expertise she needs and as long as her heart is (and it is) in the right place she will need only to lead us with her principles (and not inconsiderate experience in administration) not RULE us as an expert in everything.
God, I hope she runs and takes on the tsunami wave of attack at her in her stride. She CAN win, on a wave of charisma. Just as Oba-Hussein did against Bush.
Amen! Sarah will bring boom times!!
Agree: Where’s the announcement?
Mr. hocndoc says it was the five points for recovery. I expected more.
Whoever is running the sound is brilliant.
I think I know who it is, actually...
lol...
Had to put the phone down as I was about to commit phone murder.
No TV...and didn’t get to cspan in time to download app.
Surely the speech will be uploaded to youtube or her site.
.. and I LOVE that the not knowing when is driving the enemedia and the PDSers absolutely stark ravin' batshite !
Just wow and now she in out in the crowd, taking her time with the people who love and support her!
That would be the part where she declines to mention that she's running for President.
Am I the only one who didn't hear this? As of this moment, Sarah Palin continues to not be a candidate no matter how "campaign-y" her speech sounded.
it was her announcement...the actual day is 2 weeks from now give or take a day
I’ll bet ya
plus I know
Can you IMAGINE?!?!?! Wow. Hell, I’m all for a 3 month moratorium on personal income taxes.
Here’s her speech before the GOP convention on 9/3/08—three years ago today:

Pay close attention to minutes 27 thru 30.
She had Zero’s number back then!
So would I...I missed the first few minutes...
And I’d sure like to show it to my boyfriend, who is not a fan...there’s words in there that he has been waiting to hear from a candidate...and SHE SPOKE THEM!!!!!!!
She’s running, that speech was a clear shot across the bow. All the talk about “my plan”. And SOMEWHERE,, an entire team of FEC lawyers and accountants ready to launch their first audits and lawsuits threw thier pencils down,,,,, pissed off.
Great speech. She’s exactly what we need. The end was a letdown. It would have been a great speech to announce. If she does eventually announce she’s brilliant. If she doesn’t I do think there is an argument to be made that she’s stringing us along.
Yeah, CSPAN is still covering the rope line-—it’s a huge, electrified crowd.
(y’all do know that the spelling is different, right?)
It's like Beatlemania in Iowa right now. Haven't seen this much enthusiasm for a politician since Ronald Reagan days.
Palins been "working" longer than any candidate out there my friend....I doubt very much if every stone hasn't been overturned, looked under, and moved on from when needed.
Worth it????? ....she won't be going after the negative press which will always debase and twist her every word...when she announces she'll be going after Obama and the other candidates as she deems necessary.....the rest is paperwork.
Have you not yet learned "Palin Patience" yet?
You don’t like it, too damn bad. Stick to your Perry/Rubio ticket then.
