Anyone who thinks Chris Christie has a better shot at the Republican nomination than Sarah Palin is smoking better dope than the richest trustafarian at Zuccotti Park!
I’ve said from the beginning that she was my candidate until the time that she decided not to run. Why would my opinion change if she runs?
She could not. It would have required her being in the race to begin with.
Stupid writer.
We have a very viable front runner in Herman Cain. I just sent him another $100 today. Don’t the enemy with false charges take that away from the Country. Help Herman Cain by sending him your patriotic best check at:
Herman Cain, Inc.
Friends of Herman Cain, Inc.
P.O. Box 2158
Stockbridge, Georgia 30281
And God bless America!
Sarah can ber in charge of the Energy Dept.!
If she makes it to the ballot, I’ll vote for her.
If RINOmney makes it to the ballot, guess I’ll just have to leave the president portion unmarked.
Whether she does or doesn’t, I won’t be voting for her or anyone else other than Herman Cain.
If America destroys this decent man, then America destroys itself as far as I am concerned.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
Answer: Yes.
I was a Palin supporter but when she declined to run I switched my allegiance to Herman Cain and there it remains. Although I still admire her, by sitting on the sidelines Sarah Palin has diminished in importance for most conservatives. I'm not sure why Sarah Palin decided not to run. It could have been the fact that she was accused of having sex with some athlete while in college, which, while hardly making her ineligible to run for the Republican nomination, would be an embarrassing revelation for a Christian mother of five and enough to persuade her not to run. Or, it could be that she simply didn't want to deal with the kind of Chicago gutter politics the Obama people would have used on her - and her family.
One look at the garbage being dumped on Herman Cain (accusations of misbehavior with no witnesses. Accusations he can only deny but can probably never disprove) is proof that the GOP presidential nominee will be covered head to toe in manure from the Obama campaign. Even the Democrat's favorite Republican, Mitt Romney, will get 'the Chicago treatment'. What else can Obama do? He has no record of achievement in office and bragging about killing Osama bin Laden won't cut it for most people. Although, in politics, anything can happen, I don't believe that Sarah Palin will be running for president in 2012.

Answer: Yes.
Palin/Cain in 2012
It’s amazing to me that she has remained quiet throughout all of this.
This is a filthy Presidential election, not a soap opera.
If Sarah Palin couldn't handle the bogus attacks as governor of Alaska, what makes any rational person think she can deal with the high altitude $hit-slinging of a Presidential campaign? She's doing great on the stump. Give it a rest and let her be.
give it up people
She’s never going to run.
EVER!
Her name will either be on the ballot or written on the ballot. She raised the bar that no other candidate has reached.
Why didn't you just bump this nearly identical redundant thread?

I am beginning too think the Palin bots like to argue and can't stand missing a day not calling someone deranged because they are.
Awwww jeez not this shit again
IF Cain falls, either by the drip-drip of MSM stories OR by his own (so-far) not-ready-for-primetime handling, each of the remaining candidates will be subject to the same procedure BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH THE MEDIA WRINGER that Gov. Palin has.
I also doubt that she'll join the race; but fervently pray that I'm wrong.
No. What tripe.
She was in the race?? Only in some imaginative heads. But I do miss the daily drama LOL
We need these threads every so often so we can get together and share fond memories of Palin WH fantasy train.
Remember the Bus tour, and the Iowa passion video, and ‘the Undefeated ‘ (renamed ‘the Unwilling’ LOL), and those expiring ethics charges and hiring the advisers (wink, wink), and the ‘I can win’ Newsweek cover in the running suit??
Man it was a fun ride.
Consider this:
1. Romney is stuck at 25%...and unlikely to go higher.
2. Cain was touching 30% and, while his supporters seem determined to stick by him, the sexual harrassment BS probably caps him at that level.
3. Gingrich is creeping up toward 15%.
4. Ron Paul is going to get 10% of the vote -- whether he deserves it or not.
5. Don't know/don't care/Bachman, Santorum, Johnson, Huntsman, etc. amount to the remainder.
Unlike 2008, when the early primary states employed a "winner take all" system, this time around most are employing a proportional distribution of delegates. Remember that McCain locked up his candidacy before he ever won a majority of primary voters. That won't happen again.
So, what happens if we go thru January (i.e., Florida)...and still don't have a nominee? The probability is that we'll arrive at the convention...and still not have a nominee.
Then what?
We haven't confronted this situation in decades. 1960 was probably the last time that a convention actually named the nominee (JFK).
But, given a deadlocked Republican convention, with three legitimate contenders, what happens? Be aware that most primaries bind the delegates through the first ballot only, some thru the second. None thru the third.
In 1924, the Democrats nominated John W. Davis...on the 104th ballot.
Given a stage ruled by the establishment...and a floor controlled by the Tea Party...anything could happen.
Maybe Karl Rove gets mugged on the floor between the 5th and 6th ballot. And could somebody nominate Sarah Palin on the 7th ballot...???
Damn straight.
