I’m accustomed to being the odd man out when it comes to political opinions, and I’ve become accustomed to taking some flak on that basis. I’ve read a number of very good articles offering the reasons why Sarah Palin should run for President, and given her departure from Fox News, there are many who are already speculating about a 2016 Palin run for high office. Various writers have mentioned her blue-collar appeal, her record of fighting corruption, and her ability to stand apart from her party when doing that which is right had demanded it. As a campaigner, she’s an undeniable phenomenon and her record of endorsements turns out to have been much better than those who claimed her endorsement wasn’t “worth snot”(as Steve Flesher reminds us,) but with all of that in mind, there’s something that has bothered me about the idea that she would run. You see, even as I watched her deliver a barn-burner of a speech in Indianola, Iowa in the September of 2011, and again as I watched CPAC 2012 via C-Span, while each crowd broke out into chants of “Run Sarah, Run,” I looked at the humble but forthright soul standing alone before the multitudes, thinking to myself that despite her fitness regimen, she isn’t really the running type. In my mind on both occasions, the words echoed: “She won’t run. When the time comes, she will do as she’s always done: Sarah Palin will stand.”

Well, I’m glad to see this is just an opinion piece, with someone making a guess.

All very well to say that Sarah won’t run. And I agree that the GOPe would fight it, tooth and nail. But they fought Reagan, and he overcame the resistance.

The thing is, there is NO ONE ELSE out there with her moral strength, intelligence, determination, record, and ability. Yes, I know, there are some pretty good conservative congresscritters out there. But none of them with her capacity to change the whole game, as she did in Alaska, and as she has been doing all her life.

We need someone who can stand strong in a crisis. Golda Meier and Margaret Thatcher come to mind as the kind of leaders who are needed when everything is going down the tubes. Sarah Palin is that kind of leader, the only one on the scene who can be trusted to do the job.

I’ll stand where Sarah Palin stands.

Thanks for the ping onyx, and thanks for the post Kolath.

Mark America has some good points, and of course I think we all know Sarah “stands” for what she believes, and what she believes many of us “stand” with her.

It’s again wait and see time. I believe that if nothing else as the beacon of conservative sense that she is we all will benefit from whatever choice of direction she chooses.

He’s a very thoughtful writer.
I haven’t had time to read his piece, but I’ll have the time later tonight. Thanks very much for your opinion and I appreciate the posting.

Couple more pics from Indianola I've posted before: Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air! She'll fight for God and Country until the end. Dis her all you want, but you can't dismiss her and neither can the enemy.
