(CNN) - A pro-Sarah Palin group will start airing TV ads Wednesday in Iowa, urging the former Alaska governor to reconsider her decision against running for president.

Palin announced she wouldn't launch a White House bid in early October, ending years of speculation that the 2008 GOP vice presidential running mate might seek the Republican nomination in 2012.

Conservatives4Palin, a large online group, made the ad buy for $6,500.

The group said the ad will air for a week in Sioux City, with spots during ABC's "Good Morning America" and "Dr. Oz," as well as during local news programs in the evening.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt

Roosevelt actually ran for the office, twice.

And I think she still can. And I’m finding it harder and harder to believe that the current field can. Or even deserves to.

Read. My. Lips.

The field sucks. The field sucks. The field sucks. That’s not my fault. That’s not Sarah Palin’s fault. That’s not the rest of her supporters’ fault. That is directly and completely their fault and their fault alone. And theirs alone to remedy. And somebody needs to say it.

What an amazing non-response from so many totally dis-interested, screeching vampires, over someone who isn't running, couldn't possibly run, ain't running, ...

... just the mere mention of the woman's name strikes sheer terror into their hollow noggins.

Fear? Terror? You must mistake me for a Palin worshipper. Is it not her fear of the RINOS, the Media, the Republican establishment, the buggerman that keeps her on the sidelines?

Sarah said it recently with Glenn Beck Here: "What we need to seek . . is a candidate . . almost reluctant to serve . . A person The People find and ask: Will you sacrifice? Will you do this for our country to get us back on the right track?"

Pray. . .

LOL.

You mean by the unaccomplished disdainful?

Yes, those losers who can’t stay away from Sarah Palin threads. They’re pathetic.

If Palin wants to be anointed she is living in the wrong country.

How long would it take the rats to trot out a group of men to claim that they had been sexually harassed by Sarah Palin? Why are they holding their fire on Newt? Hasn't he had some well documented trysts of his own? The liberals and MSM (I repeat myself) will shoot down every conservative candidate or even semi conservative until the only candidate left will be Romney.

General election campaign time they will unload all their ammo on Romney. They could publish 10 weird, sacrilegious, even blasphemous things about his Mormonism every day throughout the campaign and still have only scratched the surface.

“I’m guessing the odds of a third party to be about 70-80%”

Then it would be a guaranteed win for BHO and loss of our Republic.

This election, anyone who really loves this country and wants to see her survive, will NOT run third party.

” What are these people? Cultist? It’s disturbing.”

They sure sound like it, just read through the rest of this thread. It’s clear most of these people won’t even vote for the Republican nominee on election day, which pretty much proves the point.

RE :”A lot of the sicko Palin-haters around here condemning her for not running are just disappointed because they were salivating at the prospect of seeing the continuing media gang-rape of her through the primary season.”

Greene66, Rape is bad enough, but gang rape of a woman is a particularly vile thing. Short of mutilating or murdering them, this is about the worst thing you could do to a woman.

If you want to talk about character assassination or of destroying her politically, I'm all for it, but let's not reduce the full impact of a gang rape to that of simply lying about someone.

While we're at it, don't you think it's a little over the top to state that forum participants are disappointed because they won't see the media gang-rape Palin.

I don't know of anyone here who wishes any physical harm to come to her, let alone something like this.

The Left has already started a multi-state drive to have a “Middle of the Road” party. They are close to enough signatures in Tennessee for this new version of the Perot party.

I didnt even understand the comment.
Something about we ‘want her to run so she gets raped by the media’. But back just a few months ago when I was posting that she WON'T RUN’ I was accused of wanting her to NOT run because I hate her or fear her or whatever. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

I hear ya. I didn’t want someone that couldn’t understand why not to send dear old John McCain /s back to D.C. for six more years.

And then registering illegals so they could stay here and work. Geez, is she running for La Raza or MALDEF president and I just misunderstood?

And I never said she shouldnt run and yet I am on the ‘Not friends of Sarah’ list too. I suspect I am near the top.

I just kept saying she wont run, because she wont run.

And I keep saying she shouldn’t run, because I don’t think she belongs on a Conservative ticket. Oh well. ;^)

By the way, did I tell you that you won our bet?
