Election year is just 6 months away and Sarah Palin is working the crowd…sort of. Her latest bus tour has a lot of people wondering what she’s up to. In an effort to not have the media follow her around; Palin has opted to not disclose where she’s going next until she’s there. It’s an interesting, albeit confusing, tactic and has a lot of people wondering what she’s planning.
Some are speculating that Palin is setting the stage for a Presidential or Vice Presidential bid in the 2012 elections. Others are just plain confused at why her bus tour is veiled in such mystery. Whatever’s going on – it has Sarah Palin on the minds of the public and in media again which may be exactly where she wants to be.
What do you think? Should Sarah Palin make a run for the White House again or is it time for her to bow out and allow her fellow Republicans to focus their efforts and funding on other candidates? Should Sarah Palin run for office in 2012?

Consider this:
1. I believe only a woman can beat Obama and out of Sarah and Michelle, Sarah has the most energized base.
2. Let the Dems go after her...it would only serve to sink them because the most Independents are conservative leaning anyway and the Dems attacking Sarah only gives the Independents another reason to go GOP.
3. The midterm election was a precursor to where the sentiment of independents stand. With Obama's bomb on the economy, still at 9.1 unemployment; downgrade by the IMF; no compromise at all from Obama's administration with the present GOP controlled house; and the fact he plays golf every weekend...I mean, does any average American even think this guy is serious?
No Sir, In my opinion, Sarah may the only person to take on Obama.
I do prefer non union stores that sell guns, so yeah, WalMart works for me.
What gaffe?
Well, I have neither the time nor inclination to state them all, but the one I was referring to was her misstatement about the purpose of Paul Revere’s ride.
LOL, you mean the part where Revere was stopped by British officers an at gunpoint, warned the Brits that the Colonists were well armed and in number?
That was the main media thrust and Palin was exactly correct in saying that.
What I heard in her statement was someone that knew the history and made a quick summarizing quip, the media chose to attempt to make it a gaffe, the way that you are.
She can do as she wants, she doesn’t need my, or your, permission. At times she makes my eyes tear up and my heart skip a beat. At times I shake my head in disappointment, as when she used PAC dollars to pay for her and the family’s recent bus trip. She courageously stated that all energy ‘subsidies’ should be vanquished. She needs to be as unambiguous on DADT and illegal immigration. Though I believe in regard to the latter she is adamantly opposed to illegal immigration as she finds herself torn between helping fellow human beings and the laws of her nation. If she runs she needs to shed ties with those pocketing ulterior motives who support her, ie, Tammy Bruce and her homo coterie who believe they’ve a friend in Sarah Palin who might help forward their goals. This wee feud between Palin and Bachmann supporters is asinine. The ladies are political clones. Are you people wishing to elect a president, or an idol? Also, my apologies for no line/paragraph breaks. I’m on the Blackberry and can’t be arsed to include those.
Baloney.
Here's the deal... No one is going to bring out the center-right/conservative Republican vote like Sarah Palin will. No one.
Conversely, her facing Obama in the general will probably bring out more of the center-left/liberal vote, as well.
The nation will be faced with two diametrically opposed choices, and the choice we make will determine the immediate, and long-term future for us all.
Running a less "polarizing" candidate on the Republican side will do nothing to give the country a real choice - which is what we MUST make, and soon.
If we choose someone who is likeable enough to get elected, yet who does little to move the country in a radically sane direction, America will fall, just as surely as if we'd all voted for Obama.
So, why don’t YOU want to see her as President? If it’s only b/c the MSM and talking heads have convinced you that she can’t win, you are juvenile to find it funny that she still has fierce supporters. The country is dying. If a Sarah Palin can’t win in America, tyranny is a short drive to the park away for all of us. Bob
Pssssst.....this isn't opposite day. Just a quick heads up.
If you want to talk like that, you should quit flying Herman Cain's name in your tagline. You're not doing him any favors.
No offense, JLA, but had I contributed to sarahpac, I’d have wanted her to use this money for her bus tour. It WAS political. BTW, I’m waiting to hear that she’s running before I make MY first donation. It won’t be much, but if it could represent my love for Gov. Palin, it’d be worth a million dollars. Bob
How on earth can anyone who spends any time at all on this forum be so uninformed?
From Paul Revere's personal account of his famous ride:
Online: Collections
Letter from Paul Revere to Jeremy Belknap, circa 1798
"I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back, and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from, & what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he as- ked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.
He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out."
Thanks for proving the mission of his ride, i.e., to warn the colonists/patriots/minutemen that the British were coming. That he later told the British soldiers who caught him and held him at gunpoint what he had done, does not in anyway imply that his mission was to warn the British that they weren’t going to take away our guns or our freedom. That’s like saying that Pearl Harbor was a wake up call to the Japanese, or 9/11 a warning to al Quaeda.
Incorrect. Revere warned the British of the fight that lay ahead. He then provided the information our militia needed that they didn’t care.
Baloney. Cite a single source that says Paul Revere’s mission that night was anything other than to warn Adams and Hancock and other patriots/minutemen that the British were on the move. One single source.
That night was to warn the minutemen, the point is what he had tried to circumvent the days before.
Just what do you think those PAC dollars are for?
That was a campaign trip, without question; the family were just props :o)
Easy now, you’re getting his fly all wet again.
