Looks like the primaries may move up to start in Jan instead of Feb. Tick-tock, baby.

Sarah said that being a "CANDIDATE" might shackle her, not being the President.

The headline is blatantly misleading and incompetent.

$$$ - She’ll earn far more if she doesn’t run, and being the sole breadwinner of the household one can understand her dilemma.

[Lou Budvis]

Was being governor also like being shackled?

If she’s not all-in, she shouldn’t get in.

It looks like I’m going to have to find out more about Cain.

Palin isn’t panning out.

Re: "Is a title worth it-- does a title shackle a person?" the former Alaska governor asked during a discussion of her 2012 plans with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "Someone like me, who's maverick--you know I do 'go rogue' and I call it like I see it and I don't mind stirring it up ... [for] somebody like me, is a title and is a campaign too shackling?"

"Does a title take away my freedom to call it like I see it and to effect positive change that we need in this country? That's the biggest contemplation piece in my [decision] process," Palin said.

I love Sarah and would give my cash, my wholehearted support and my vote to her... but this kinda throws me for a loop.

And this leads me to think she is not going to run which I grant would be a real uphill battle as the Liberal Media have pretty much poisoned the waters for any successful campaign of her's for the Presidency in the foreseeable future.

So, I shall continue to wear my Rock Perry button even when that same Liberal media is tell me he's toast and hope he gets the nod to unseat Obama.

And after Rick's two successful terms and an economy back on track due to a Tea Party led GOP controlled Congress and Supreme Court, a 56-years old Sarah Palin would be the prefect candidate to take 49 states while Taxachusetts stays blue.

Her time is running out. She has done the most damage to herself at this time. It is way past time for her to declare she’s not running.

[Tainan]

ping - one of yours?

LOL!

[Vinnie]

Sarah, give us a yea or nay so we can move on.

[sillsfan]

For all the people constantly whining for Governor Palin to announce she is running for President now, how exactly is her choosing to wait negatively affecting your life? Why must you know now?

Is Governor Palin not providing an answer at this time preventing you from actually doing something?

If the answer is no, then relax.

[PjhCPA]

Get over her already.

[vicar7]

Well because Sarah Palin is not Chris Christie she needs to make the decision yesterday.

The question I would have for Bill Kristol is: Is Chris Christie a conservative?

Why should we let the MSM and political elites choose our candidate?

I disagree with Sarah Palin: Citizen Palin could not have made the changes in Alaska Governor Palin sure could and did.

Citizen Palin would be infinitely less effective than President Palin in making the necessary changes.

[Puddleglum]

lead, follow, or get out of the way

[AmericanInTokyo]

God Bless her. But, well, I'm starting to get a little tired of this.

It is, it should be ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND AMERICA.

The last candidate that won the Presidency, as we recall, it was all about him, him, him, his conveniences, his family, his privacy, his vision, his vacations, his golf, his smothering security that limited his movements. Him him him. I would hope we could see an end to that--our country is in some serious deep shit and we need a few selfless Sam Adams' and Thomas Paine's right about now.

[Just mythoughts]

I do not care if people like or dislike Sarah. However, the misrepresentation of what Sarah ‘asked’ was in response to a specific question by Greta. Sarah was NOT addressing the office of president at this point in the interview.

She was describing what happens when a person announces their candidacy and the ‘title’ and expectations of that candidate take on a life of their own. She specifically pointed to the ‘title’ of veep she wore in the 2008 campaign and how media and campaign handlers controlled how she was to appear to US. AND as an announced candidate the expectations would be of her to join the crowd of other candidates at some liberal media produced sound bite recording.

Any of the Perry supporters out there wish Perry had stayed home last debate? I mean, really now, he has sent his woman to Iowa to smooth over his rough edges. H E L L O??????

[dforest]

I don’t think she wants to run because she is aware of the fact there is a job at the end of all the hoopla. A job that is shackling.

Palin seems to be the type that likes the campaign more than what follows it.

She has been campaining for a couple years without having to actually run.

Best of both worlds. She gets attention and financial security without having to take on the problems.

If anyone believes that being elected President in 2012 as a Republican is going to be all glory without horrifying obstructions and constant hateful opposition, they aren’t paying attention.

[frposty]

“too shakl-ey”

This is really crap from Palin, except she didn’t say she would be shackled, but she posed a question.

She’s never in her career preferred to remain an independent non-shackled individual. She’s been clawed at since she paired with McCain not because she was a threatening independent voice, but because she had the obvious potential for being president.

She has no interest in shouting from the sidelines.

[stockpirate]

I tire of her games, pretending to be on the verge of running only to delay announcing. She is hurting other people in the race. She is starting to look like all she wants is the media attention she gets when she appears and pretends to be getting ready to announce. She told us she would announce by the end of September, well. If she doesn’t get in the race I for one am done with her. And flame away I’m a big guy and can handle it.
