Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement) Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Oh, you people are still all over this crap?

Outstanding sig !

Fox news is trumpeting some poll which says that 66% of Tea Party-ers do not want Sarah to run.

I don't believe this poll, if it exists, is an accurate reflection of Tea Party sentiment.

People are believing the media - that if she runs she hurts the party. So that poll is a reaction the media spin.

*Phbbt* - That was me sticking my tongue out at you. I've got to work all weekend, and the only thing I get is free cold cuts and chips.

But I guess I can't complain too much, I've still got a job. The company (Lowe's) shut down seven stores last week and cut 1/3 of the senior management staff company-wide.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why don't they conduct the same type of poll for Paul or Gingrich or Huckabee or Romney or the RINO cowboy?

Because they'd get the same results, that's why.

But single out Sarah, and it looks like it means something.

@RealClearScott Palin supporters will say they are not prima donna race horses. They are mudders who can grind in the muck.

LOL!

Yeah there’s going to be a small window....real small....but darn I still wish i was there!

[melissa_in_ga]

Just a thought....if Sarah is speaking at around 1:15 Central time, what time is that in Alaska? Didn’t she say she’d announce on a radio show that does morning drive time?

TY for ping.

C-SPAN crawler says they will carry live at 12:30pm est

[kristinn]

C-SPAN pushing back live coverage to 12:30 p.m. EDT, 11:30 a.m. CDT.

[GlockLady]

ROFLMAO!

[lonevoice]

In case you’re interested, it’s on C-SPAN, channel 27, starting at 9:30AM, which C-SPAN’s crawler is saying is an approximate time. Since the event is live, and they’re having some major rain, that could be causing a delay. It’s a 3-hour event, Governor Palin is the last speaker on the program, and her speech is said to be 30 minutes long.

[MagUSNRET]

Wouldnt want to risk CSpan having to cover a prayer, or a Pledge of Allegiance or anything “radical” like that! /s

[caww]

It was already stated beforehand Palin would NOT announce at this event.
