Should Palin Run? Powerful (Ruling-Class) Republicans In Iowa, Elsewhere, Say No, No, No

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

the last thing the RinoCracy wants are the peons and peasants out in Flyover Country running their own candidate.

might wind up turning DC inside out. Might even shutter a few Federal Agencies...could put a whole platoon if Ivy League Do-Gooder Graduates out of a career...a complete disaster she’d be..../s

Hasn’t “powerful ruling-class Republican” become an oxymoron? We’re not taking orders any more.

Do you have any facts to back that up? Of course you don’t.

Just for grins, why don’t you recite your bona fides for us; and while you’re at it, tell us what your definition of a “neocon” is. We value your opinion.

Oh yes!
We’re all SO VERY IMPRESSED with the “Powerful (Ruling-Class) Republicans” ... those drones who depend on the status quo for their power ... NOT!

Finally, there is something/someone for them to fear. Someone who might actually do something to return this country to “of the people, by the people, for the people”.

Be Afraid, Powerful (Ruling-Class) Republicans ... Be VERY Afraid!

The key phrase is “Powerful GOP members” - Sarah just doesn’t play by their rules and won’t dance on the string. She threatens the power of the powerful.

I also say Yes! Run Sarah, Run!

Fundraising is costing the RNC sixty cents for every dollar they raise, and they are far behind the Democrats for the season.

They might want to stop shooting themselves in the feet, any day now, with regard to their talking down Sarah Palin and by extension, We The People.

Political Parties See Uptick in Money This Year
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 31, 2011 at 2:28 PM ET

Democratic committees, including the party's national, congressional and Senate panels, raised more than $128 million during the first seven months of this year. That compares with Republicans' $105 million in contributions as GOP leaders try to counter the cash flow supporting President Barack Obama's bid for a second term.

All told, both state and national party committees received $242 million since Jan. 1, an increase of $17 million during the same period in 2009 when adjusting for inflation, Federal Election Commission figures show.

Once Sarah announces, she is going to be taking in lots more than the RNC.

I don't give a penny to the RNC any more. I give to individual candidates.

Sarah can replace the RNC.

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

Troll.

She put corrupt politicians in prison in Alaska.

That is precisely why they do not want her in the White House.

McGruff, your personal attack and typical tactic will not work. You are one of those who seek to marginalize and label all those who disagree with you. This is the first sign of weakness. You have nothing. You can't even tell me why she is so great. No original thought. Just a sheep that hasn't gone past it's mailbox.

Perhaps you should post on a thread about your own preferred candidate.

By the way, who would that be please?

Thanks in advance.

Corrupt Alaska politicians are in prison because of her.

How many corrupt politicians has the RINO cowboy put away?

Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.

ineluctable
