LOL! Thx
well, maybe she just hasn’t picked a party yet, ya’ think?
You did, but it was a mistaken report. They later clarified that she was speaking at today’s rally, not that she was confirmed for the debate.
She was invited to the debate, but as of yesterday, she had not announced an acceptance.
It would fit with this speech though if she accepted and showed up, but still didn’t announce — kind of like the unannounced candidate strategy. Which would also work if she isn’t running but wants to put the fear of God into the other candidates.
Wow fantastic platform!
Run Sarah!
“A Providental hand has always guided us—let us take that
Hand once again......”
Yes!
She wasn’t scheduled to formally announce. Remember her promise to Bob and Mark. She’ll keep it.
I am so proud of you and your untireing service to our country
You managed nurses and doctors in war zones for decades
Sarah said thank you Mags 9 different ways 12 different times
you are an angel flyin too close to the ground and you earned my praise
hunbly, thank you
Yaelle, she's not being "coy". The timing of her announcement is a strategic decision - not something she'll allow to be driven by the press, or even her supporters. If she's going to win this thing, she's got to manage every detail of her campaign, including the timing. She's going to make her move when it's most advantageous to her - not when it's most popular to do so.
As Rush says, I guarantee it. Don't doubt me.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind. It would be nice to have a Leader that understands what America stands for.
Indeed it does. Listening to her does give me hope for this nation for the first time in years, to be quite honest, instead of the despair I've felt, especially over the past 3 years.
“the easiest thing you will ever do is tell the truth”
Weird how this fact is so often overlooked.
I will join him in prayer.
Oooops! “Inconsiderable” not “inconsiderate” - “thick finger” syndrome.
Lady in crowd hugging Sarah and saying “Please RUN” to Sarah! Big smiles from all she is encountering! shouts of “Love you Sarah!
Yup!
I really do not think she is running for President...I DO think she is running ALL OF THE CAMPAIGNS of every POLITICIAN however!!! (Defining priorities with the masses behind her)
I challenge any lib: What could possibly be your rebuttal to the basic premises outlined in the text of her speech? Come on, tell me, what is your argument?! Damn it, I want specifics! Come on! What is it?! Okay Sunday shows, let's hear it!
The Palin Army is Ready!!
Watching her move through the crowd...she is taking her time talking to folks and signing everything people are handing her. What a decent individual.
ya’ll do know a play on words, right?
more but loose lips and all
