Ken Vogel and I both have sources telling us that calls were made on behalf of a mystery candidate to various early states to determine presidential filing deadlines. Continue Reading
The calls were made by representatives of the law firm Baker Hostetler - a firm that employs lawyer Mark Braden, who represents Sarah PAC, her political action committee.
As Ken notes, while he nor representatives of Palin’s campaign would comment on the calls, Palin is the only GOP politician eying the presidential race who is represented by the firm.
It wouldn’t be the first time that her representatives have sought information on the deadlines marking the ever-shifting GOP calendar.
The current thinking in GOP election law circles is that the first hard cut-off for entering the race is Oct. 28, when presidential candidates who hope to appear on the ballot in the New Hampshire primary would be required to submit a filing fee from a federally registered presidential campaign committee.

“I was in Hawaii for five days.”
Are you trying to make us all jealous? It’s working (with me at least)!
George Romney (who, himself, ran for president without any question of his eligibility) was born in Mexico to U.S. citizen parents. George’s parents returned to the US when George was a child. George was born with and never relinquished his US citizenship. He married an American woman. When George’s children including, Willard, were born in the US, he and his wife were both US citizens. Willard, as an American-born child of two US citizen parents is, without question, a Natural Born Citizen, and eligible to serve, if elected, as President of the United States.
Willard’d situation is not on point with Obama’s, whose father never was, or even applied to be, a U.S. citizen, leaving open the [moot for now] question of his eligibility.
It doesn’t matter how much or how often it’s been discussed, the premise of Willard’s eligibility is wrong.
Jem, don’t you DARE take me off your Todd Palin ping list.
I heard this evening, Sarah will not answer “Present” to the presidential campaign list.
I won’t. I am sure that we will be hearing about Todd again.
I am very, profoundly sorry she isn’t running.
Maybe she thinks she can be more effective as a “spokesman” for the conservatives in our country.
Well. I wish she would run.
I’m on the CAIN TRAIN completely now. I was for him before, but would have changed is Sarah had run. I do like what Cain has been saying and I like his history.
I like what he’s presenting too. He was a good businessman, he worked for the Fed plus changing jobs 3 other times and rose to the top. Right after 9/11 I’ve read he wanted to nationalize the banks..that worries me.
I think Sarah thought long and hard about running. The media would have done worse to her than they did to W. People of strong faith are not liked by todays media, (worldwide) suffer bad press and worse. Satan has entered their ranks.
I have some acquaintensess who travelled in Europe and told me along the major highways and streets there were signs belittling W in more than 1 country.
