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.

Malarkey.
All she has to do is answer the question, and ask if they thought they’d be willing to step down if it were in the best interests of their state.
Sarah put her citizens’ needs before her own self-interest. Where did anyone else do that?
She can also turn the tables on them and ask how it was that they accomplished less in their multiple terms than she did in her two years.
That, my FRiend, is “Game over”.
Thanks for playing....
That has more or less been my attitude as well.
I think you are mistaken.
I think this entire race is about Governorship.
Obama has ****ed up bad, from start to finish.
FAUX has really fouled their nest with the next leader of the free world. Ooooops! ;-)
“I’ve never read a post more idiotic than yours here.
It’s astonishingly stupid commentary. “
Nice answer, very pursuasive!
Christie has to first commit suicide and then come back to run.
If he can do that, then I’ll vote him.

Faux can’t say anything nice about their colleages = not Sarah, not Newt, not Santorum and BOR said tonight that Cain can’t win or won’t win the nomination.
Faux sux.
Perfect example of what Gov. Palin was talking about regarding the press and their flavor of the week...

“All she has to do is answer the question, and ask if they thought they’d be willing to step down if it were in the best interests of their state.”
So you are saying her hypothetical answer to this question is....”The state of Alaska was better off without me in the governors office” !
Good luck with that one.
Oh, please. What the heck is this guy talking about?
I’m not trying to persuade you. I want you to know that your post is beyond moronic. Nothing else.
I will experience guilt-free satisfaction when their ratings tank.
Oh please. Historical data. Costs to the state as a result of the false complaints.
Please bring back the starters. You are out of your league.
Excellent reply to this poster, moonhawk!
I might add, that I think she's anxiously awaiting this idiot question and well prepared to lay into the questioner to fully illuminate precisely how dirty democrat politics actually works.
Yes. I met and like Herman Cain and on the slightest chance that Governor Palin doesn’t announce, then I’m with Herman CCain, because, like Sarah Palin, he has no ties to DC.
I also like the serious and experienced Newt Gingrich, but he’s let us down too many times.
Disingenuous, much?
Her answer would be: “I stepped down because all the phony lawsuits against me by the likes of precisionshootist (just kidding, insert your own bad guy here), were costing the Alaskan taxpayers millions of dollars in unnecessary legal defense costs, so I stepped down, which was entirely consistent with my political philosophy: the people are more important than the governor.”
LOL. Me too.
I look at a one of the candidates and see their blatent disregard for the appearance of impropriety in taking care of their cronies and it disgusts me. A clear violation of the public trust at a time when people already don't trust much about government.
Gov Palin and Mr Cain are just about the only candidates that I genuinely trust to govern with honesty and integrity.
Thanks. I agree, and I bet she’s got some real zingers waiting in the wings. Much better than mine.
But I will take this opportunity to edit my tagline...
