She clearly would have a chance as the non NewtRomney.
I hope she enters soon

Minor quibble: Palin says she doesn't agree with Paul's foreign policy decisions. Strange choice of word there, in my opinion. What "decisions"? Policy stances he's got, but "decisions"?

Sarah Palin said it’s not too late for someone to enter the Republican presidential race.

If she's referring to herself, what seems to be the hold-up?

The homeless guy on the corner can "say" things... let's see her DO something.

She’s talking about Jeb Bush. He’s out with a campaign-like economic policy statement today.

The title FOX is using is totally misleading. Nowhere in that interview did she talk about anyone jumping in to the race. She discusses that the race can still be shaken up, i.e.; people in the back of the pack could jump forward after IA and sets some parameters that could do that with a candidates focus on some key issues.

Sarah says it better than the rest. Ron Paul has many good qualities, he supports the USConstitution... now there’s a concept for someone who might need it.
But, Sarah says it better!

“Things can change in terms of candidates coming and going.” Palin said over the weekend that she was not enthusiastic about anyone in the current GOP field.

I can support most of them against Obama, except for Romney, but this is a very fair assessment.

Not one delegate has been chosen, nor one vote cast that would reflect actual preferences among the rank and file of conservative Republican party members. The “Establishment” party wants the nominee to be a tame and controlled RINO, and is totally petrified that the nomination process will get away from them.

Since nobody has really emerged as an alternative, yet Mitt Romney cannot yet get sufficient traction to sway the majority of potential GOP voters, we face a sort of Mike Huckabee moment, in which a comparative unknown, or at least somebody who is not a top tier candidate, may score surprisingly well early in the game. Do not discount the possibility of a brokered convention, in which nobody in the first round wins sufficient support to secure the nomination, and the delegates, bound by their state party to a particular candidate only on the first ballot, then take the reins and throw the nomination wide open from the floor.

In that event, several draft movements may be offered, which puts the Momma Grizzly right back in the game, and may even stage a return for Herman Cain.

We need SOMEBODY, anybody, who will take the game to Obama and the Democrat party. Mitt Romney, sorry to say, just will not do that. Ask a simple question - has the experiment of setting up a frankly socialist agenda worked for America?

The American voters tried something on this scope in 1930, 1932, and 1934. The Republicans were stomped in the mud over and over. By the time 1936 rolled around, only a little-known governor of Kansas, Alf Landon, dared offer himself as a candidate fro President. But because he was a rather progressive Republican himself, he could not sufficiently contrast himself with FDR, and offered no vision of the way it could be, but ran as a “me-too”, only timidly saying, if you put me in charge, I will make the new machinery run better. This at a time when the “new machinery” would have been much better dismantled and trucked back to the old Europe where it came from.

For those of you who have forgotten (or never learned), FDR was a HUGE fan of Benito Mussolini and his “Phalange” movement, touted as an anti-Communist effort, as it put the control of industry into the hands of the union workers, with decisions made by the union heads rather than the representatives of the shareholders. The New Corporate State was the replacement for the old laisse-faire (and uncontrolled) robber baron capitalism, and was supposed to end for all time the boom and bust of free market uncertainties. Didn’t seem to work out any too well for Italy, or most anywhere else in the world it was applied, as it led to one of the most destructive wars, using the most fearsome array of weapons and tactics, the world has ever seen, and a good deal of that fury turned against the citizens of one’s own country.

The Corporate State idea should have died after that horrific worldwide slaughter, but there was one error. The cancer was not fully excised, and it was allowed to grow throughout the Soviet hegemony, with only limited efforts by the newly reinstated representative governments to contain this cult of death and destruction. But finally, that cancer that was World Communism largely either consumed itself, in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, or it transmuted into a much more benign form of actually encouraging individuals to keep at least some of the fruits of their labors, and the consolidation of capital outside the hands of rigorous government control, as in China.

Still the seeds remain, and the two years between January 2009 and the election of 2010, the Democrats had a free hand to draw what they wanted, regardless of the wishes or even loud demands from the general population of voters. Never consulting the Republicans even once, they passed a whole new code, almost all of it recycled from old failed policies of the New Deal, most of which was declared unConstitutional at the time by the Supreme Curt. Only this time, they thought they had the courts too, and that was almost the case.

John McCain literally gave away the Oval Office in 2008, and had Sarah Palin not been on the ticket, the final vote would have been even more lopsided than it was. But the vice-presidential candidate is not in a very good position to carry the fight to the opposition, though Sarah did a bang-up job of exposing at least some of Barack Hussein Obama’s shortcomings, and had she had the least amount of support from the top of the ticket, it would not have been anathema to even MENTION the Democrat candidate’s middle name. McCain had already pre-emptively surrendered, to the astonishment of much of the electorate who were looking for real leadership.

Mitt Romney just offers the same thing all over again. Oh, how discouraging is this rising sick feeling once more.

Republicans, give us some red meat. Don’t tuck your tail between your legs once more and whimper from the corner, in submission to what is really not a very effective alternative.

“I don’t feel the candidates grasping that and articulation solutions as to how we can meet the economic challenges in this country,” she said. “That scares me.”

Scares me too. Run Sarah.
