Should Palin Run? Powerful (Ruling-Class) Republicans In Iowa, Elsewhere, Say No, No, No
AnkenyPatch.com ^ | August 31, 2011

Posted on 09/01/2011 6:29:29 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

As Palin remains unannounced about whether she will run, powerful GOP members outside the beltway say they don't want her in the race.

The theatrics and confusion over Sarah Palin's upcoming schedule probably won't help her standing with Republican activists in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, who already overwhelmingly prefer that she not run for president in 2012, according to a survey conducted this past week by The Huffington Post and Patch in the early primary and caucus states.

Palin had previously announced plans to appear at a Tea Party rally in Indianola, Iowa, on Saturday, but that has been put "on hold," according to organizers. Separately, Palin announced new plans to speak to another Tea Party rally in New Hampshire on Labor Day.

Iowa's Tea Party of America announced later today that Palin had reconfirmed and will be in Indianola on Saturday.

Last week, our HuffPost-Patch Power Outsiders poll of influential Republicans in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina found two thirds satisfied with the current crop of candidates and only 8 percent offering Palin when asked who else they would like to see run in a follow-up question.

Power Outsiders is a Patch-Huffington Post project that surveys influential Republicans in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshir

HuffPo claims to have enough ju-ju to get insiders in the Republican Establishment to talk about their real feelings.

Sure ~ right ~ uh, uh.

The obvious question that should be queried is if the same poll were given to the same group of people concerning Perry, what do you think the results would be?

I think everyone knows the answer to that question.

They wouldn’t have a problem with Perry.

That should speak volumns for anyone concerned about getting an actual conservative elected for POTUS that ACTUALLY believes in limited government/Individual Liberaties/social conservatism/protected borders etc.

Well they already have their candidate. I think his name is Lyndon Baines Perry or Rick Connolly.

The neocon Sarah doesn't have the intellectual capacity nor the experience to run the country. Just like Barry, both are idiots.

I would like to see her run. I have no idea if she will, or not. The question I would ask is, could she NOT announce one way or the other this weekend...or delay the decision of another month or so...?

We need Sarah to stay relevant so she can help take back the Senate - if we could get a veto-proof majority it almost wouldn’t matter if that dick got himself re-elected - not that I can stand the thought of that.

You're one of those idiots who think a Tina Fey quote is the same thing as a Sarah Palin quote.

What do you know about her, besides what your idol Katie Couric told you?

She put corrupt politicians in prison in Alaska.

How many corrupt politicians has the RINO cowboy put away?

She can and will do what she wants.

Maybe I should run? Nah, never mind.

It's my understanding that the confusion wasn't caused by Sarah, but by the people behind the event.

Those GOP high muckety-mucks don't need any other excuse to detest Sarah. Her existence is sufficient.

You see Perry is From Texas, and that is good enough for me, because........I mean its Texas!!! And Texas is Better than all other States, Just might as well be the United States of Texas!

I mean only The Most Conservative, Rightist, Most Constitutional Politicians have ever come out off Texas!

Can't think of a Single Liberal EVER!
