What will it take to get Chris Christie to say yes and run for the GOP nomination?
Come on down -- Sarah Palin.
If the queen of the Tea Party makes a grand entrance into the Republican primary sweepstakes the New Jersey governor will finally say yes to all the calls for him to jump into the race.
At this moment Palin has reason to think she should run. A mid-September McClatchy/Marist poll of registered voters put her only 5 percentage points behind President Obama in a head-to-head match-up. No previous poll ever put her in the elite category of Republicans within striking distance of defeating the president.
This week Palin, appearing on Fox News, said she has to make up her mind soon because “You have to get your ducks lined up in order to get your name on ballots.” She emphasized that she doesn’t need the title of president to make a difference in American politics. Still, the former Alaska governor, apparently responding the recent good poll numbers, said she is confident she can win the White House in 2012 because “Americans are ready for someone outside the box.”
All the talk about Palin has the Republican political establishment seeing red. They fear losing control of the nominating process and the whole party spiraling down, sinking into a sea of far-right polarization and the cult of personality around Palin if “Sarah Barracuda” – her nickname as star high school basketball player -- swims into their waters and begins eating up Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and the other current Republican candidates.

And further, the liberal media doesn't want anyone else to understand the GOP too!
Juan had served a purpose in the role of “token liberal/useful idiot” when Brit Hume was a regular ...... and regularly bitch-slapped Juan down with a Dan Akroy’d-like “Juan, you ignorant slut!”.
But ... and sadly ...now that Brit has been “emeritized” and Juan has been fired from NPR, the magic is gone .... like Alphonse without Gaston or Senor Wences with an arthritic fist. Juan is just as intellectually clumsy, long winded, and lost when the verbal banter wanders past his talking points. But he doesn’t seem to fit in, particularly in today’s role of predicting the future of the Republican presidential primaries.

“Watching Palin on DVR. She is really turning Fox News bashing into a full-time hobby.”
Id say turnabout is fair play. ;-)
And they understand conservatives even less.
We were needing some laughs around here!. Nice to see your unmatched wit show up! Seriously, funny......again.
She’s the one. She is also the one who begged Sarah to help her [perky] friend’s tanking ratings by agreeing to an interview.
He is a goober.
I appreciate that Juan shows his cards, but he is a goober.
Thank you for saving me from reading his article.
The GOP Establishment doesn't understand the GOP, either.
I'm thinking he's best right where he is, but if you want to get hypothetical about a place in a Palin administration, I'd say WH Chief of Staff or Homeland Security.
Maybe DOE, but just so he can oversee shutting it down.
Christie is not running. Palin is not running. Both are completely compromised potential candidates and they know it. Christie has spent the better part of a year saying emphatically he is not running because he is not prepared to be president. If he were to do a 180 and get in there is only one thing a voter could conclude and that is you can't believe a word the man says.....game over.
Palin can't get in because the first time she steps on a stage with at least 4 other current and former governors who did NOT resign when the going got tough....the question will come, why did you resign?.......game over.
:)
Hijacked Thread!
Bastagae!
Well she can ... how can I put this kindly? ... she can go get bent.
Quite a few cowardly conservatives have had a good time stabbing Palin in the back. While Palin was under constant attack, not many in the Republican party defended her either. So I have a bone to pick with more than just liberals. The entire establishment elite is in my crosshairs.

I’d love it if Christie got in, Romney would finally have help splitting the RINO vote.
I don’t think there’s room for Christie and anyone else on the stage.
Bada-bing!
RUN, SARAH...R U N!!
It's astonishingly stupid commentary.
