Palin Reveals Her Opportunistic Streak

Your arguments are predicated on her running. What if she doesn’t announce? Then what? I looked up who this broad is and by all accounts she is a female Conservative activist trying to spread our message to areas that generally disregard it. If Palin is starting to lose these people, what chance does she have with non Conservatives?

Feel free to jump on me with all this “Palin is outfoxing everyone” and “you just don’t get it” stuff. You may be right in the end. I just don’t see how this pans out in the end. Is she just outfoxing the conventional wisdom, or all of us?

She (nancyvideo) is that woman.

^5!

I note it's been changed to the proper origin.

Shameful to steal copyrighted material.

If she’s going to run, she had better make a decision to go soon.

So, she should follow the herd...and jump into the current dog & pony show...

A lotta people still don't get it.

Look at her record, for cripes sake. He whole career, she did HER way - AND WON - and WON and WON.

Why not give the herds more time and more debates to chew one another up - and to wear thin on the public?

She hardly need to jump in to get name recognition. And as long as she's not an official candidate, she isn't shackled by campaign rules. It isn't as though she can't get publicity otherwise.

Do you not remember that Reagan didn't declare until Oct?

As some have said - the election is over a year off.

The fact that she isn't panicking and following the crowd - shows she has an independent mind (some of us know this) - and I'll take that to a follow -the-crowd animal any day.

Write this on the blackboard 100 times: "Palin is a LEADER, not a follower."

Stealing is stealing, even when the content is crap.

what YOU said!

;o)

ahahahah -

pathetic

LOL. You’re forgiven!

Oh yeah, Romney is one of us Tea Party folks./s

WOO-HOO!

"May we always be happy and our enemies know it!"

So let me see if I have this right. Perry announced he was a candidate just a few days ago, but that's OK. Paul Ryan may or may not run--he hasn't said yet--but that's OK. Some people are saying that Chris Christie may change his mind and run, but again, that's OK. Palin, on the other hand, how DARE she keep us in suspense!
I love it! Awesome analysis.

I didn’t realize that the poster was also the author of the article.

I emailed her but now I can post and say the same thing,

The article was almost like you were picking on her it sounded catty.

[onyx]

what YOU said!

GOES DOUBLE FOR YOU! WOO-HOO!

"If the flak is heavy, you're over the target"

Either that, or we actually do have the Authers number and it's Palin Supporters that are right on target.

I'll take number 2, Alex!

Lazlo, opinions are in the moment and fickle.

When she announces, all of this will be a dim memory and no one will remember this.

This article is really a waste of time for the very reason I have stated.

Her positions on the issues haven't changed, her leadership skills haven't changed, and her fighting spirit have not changed, that is what is important.

Like I said, when she announces, if this woman's opinion, and the people she refers to don't change, then she was being disenguous, and so are the people she was referring to.

Sarah IS right over the target and it's scaring the crap out of the commedia at how easily she's showing them to be the irrelevant twits that they are.

I don't write as well as some here, but I thought that point was relatively clear .. or maybe I just need a nap ..

[lonestar]

Has it been determined that Sarah knows the POTUS term of office is 4, not 2, years?

Just askin'.

Or maybe it's my 3rd grade reading comprehension skills.

Sorry about that!
