She’s running without announcing.
Hieroglyphics and technical support should not have to be necessary to know if Sarah Palin is going to run for the presidency. She is in charge of all these assumptions that she is not going to run, and has the wherewithall and the cash to change these perceptions if she chooses. Communicating only with more of a fan base than a broad constituency of supporters is her way of saying she is not interested in broadening or increasing a larger voter base vitally necessary for her to win. At least, yet, and the clock is ticking. Competent campaign people and plenty of money are both being locked up right now, and a lot of it is going to Bachman among others that could have been Palins. She is not running. Eventually she won’t even have the time to run because the clock is the one thing that is not hanging around to wait on her.

YAWN. Why would Palin give up a great career to become a political failure?
What Alternate Universe does the Sarah Palin Adoration Society live in?

Too often, those who cover Palin do not listen to her words or read her statements
I do. That is why I know that Sarah Palin is as totally clueless and incompetent in foreign affairs as Barack Obama is.
Take libya, for example.
About three weeks ago, Free Republic was discussing the idiocy of Barack Obama deciding to overthrow Gadhafi and support the "rebels" without ever bothering to discover that "the rebels" were, in large part, actually al Qaeda.
One FReeper posted that Obama would be pleased to help al Qaeda.
Here is my reply:
=================
Obama will be pleased.
Why do you think he acted so quickly
Because of stupidity. Because, in foreign affairs, Barack Obama is totally clueless. Because Barack Obama never bothered to do his homework and educate himself. Because Barack Obama was an Affirmative Action candidate that too many irrational people gushed over because of the way he looked and sounded instead of what he knew and you can't realistically expect anything but FUBAR's from such a President.
Barack Obama got into the "Let's overthrow Gadhafi" chess game without ever bothering to study what would happen beyond the first move of "Pawn to King 4".
Barack Obama had not thought out the chess game beyond the extremely naïve notion that you can:
1.) Topple Gadhafi so that
2.) America can then Cut & Run so that
3.) The Democracy Fairy can wave her Magic Wand and everybody lives happily ever after
The three major problems with that childishly naïve lunacy are that:
1.) There is no such thing as a Democarcy Fairy
2.) In all of military history, air power has never, ever, secured a single square mile of territory. To secure territorry, you need "boots on the ground". The 8th Air Force may have flattened East Berlin in World War II but East Berlin became Communist because, after the bombing, it was the Soviets with "boots on the ground" there.
3.) The one warring faction that is pouring fighters into Libya in order to have "boots on the ground" to secure the final Victory in Libya is al Qaeda. ("Thank you, U.S. air power, for giving us the future Billions of dollars of Libyan oil revenues that we will use to kill Americans!")
After his intial blunder, saner heads at the Pentagon pointed out to Obama:
"Mr. President, what about the fact that al Qaeda has been flooding Libya with radical Islamist fighters in order to be the only warring faction with the necessary "boots on the ground" to secure the final control over Libya? You specifically expect to "get out" and leave a power vacuum in Libya that al Qaeda is already mobilized to fill? It will turn over Libya and it's oil wealth over to the Islamic radicals just as surely as Jimmy Carter's blundering with another dictator turned Iran over to the Islamist fanatics."
Then, Obama realized what an idiot he has been.
"What should I do now? How can I fix this?"
"Stalemate, Mr. President. We will claim a stalemate. With Gadhafi still in power, we can use him as a proxy to keep the radical Islamists in check just like George H. W. Bush used Saddam to keep the Iranian-backed, radical Islamists in southern Iraq in check in 1991 after the Gulf War."
So, the Pentagon starts making statements about "Stalemate".
This is the Charlie Foxtrot that happens when voters support a ridiculously unprepared and unqualified Affirmative Action candidate just because they absolutely adore how that candidate looks and sounds without ever bothering to figure out if that candiate would lead America into FUBAR after FUBAR through sheer ignorance and incompetence.
You do not have to be a secret al Qaeda supporter to get America into such a FUBAR and hand Billions of dollars of future oil revenue over to al Qaeda.
You just have to be so utterly unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief that you actually have the extremely naïve notion that you can:
1.) Topple Gadhafi so that
2.) America can then Cut & Run so that
3.) The Democracy Fairy can wave her Magic Wand and everybody lives happily ever after
Case in point:
"So what our president said at first, that our mission is to see Qaddafi go, he's got to go, but then we're told by one of his top advisers, the president's top advisers, saying, Well, no, really, Qaddafi is probably going to prevail on this. He's probably going to prevail over the opposition. And then our president changes the tune again, saying, Well, it's not our mission to oust Qaddafi. A lot of confusion. I would like to see, of course, as long as we're in it -- we better be in it to win it. And if there's doubt, we get out. Win it means Qaddafi goes and America gets to get on out of there and let the people of Libya create their own government" .... Sarah Palin in interview with Greta van Sustern
"But, Governor Palin, what about the fact that al Qaeda has been flooding Libya with radical Islamist fighters in order to be the only warring faction with the necessary "boots on the ground" to secure the final control over Libya? You specifically expect to "get out" and leave a power vacuum in Libya that al Qaeda is already mobilized to fill? It will turn over Libya and it's oil wealth over to the Islamic radicals just as surely as Jimmy Carter's blundering with another dictator turned Iran over to the Islamist fanatics."
"Umm ... What do you mean by "boots on the ground"? What's an "Islamist"? What does al Qaeda have to do with any of this and the Democracy Fairy?"
sarah Palin, Sarah Palin....it just seems that the name should ring a bell. Didn’t she used to be somebody?
She already is, and has been for some time now.
She’s not running.
I have said this for almost two years.....when she stepped down from Governor she started her 2012 campaign
Once Palin rolls out her campaign, there will be little stopping her. Romney, Pawlenty, Barbour, etc., will all the struggling to get 500 people to show up at their rallies, Palin will have absolutely no problem drawing thousands, and even tens of thousands. She will, essentially, consume all the oxygen, leaving the campaigns of the others with empty sails, and drifting rather aimlessly. The dems and their media minions have been attempting to destroy Palin now for 32 months, and yet, she's still standing. None of the others have would have withstood the kind of assaults that her and her family has received.
For those who doubt how Palin will perform in a head to head match up with 0bama, watch the videos of her interview on Long Island, and compare it to anyone of 0bama's stumbling ahhh, errrr, and ummm filled interviews.
Sarah Palin has a better shot of becoming president than Barack Obama did before Obama announced his candidacy during the 2008 election cycleYawn. Me too. This nagging about Sarah Palin running is getting as bad as the Hillary nagging 4 years ago.
