And lose. Do you really think she can win as a 3rd party candidate? She won't peel off Dem votes and will split Republicans. That's not a recipe for victory. Does no one remember Perot? He handed Clinton victory in '93 even though Clinton only got 43% of the vote.
I did not say 3rd party. She will do just like she did in Alaska, run against the GOP establishment and Democrat. She stayed in the party, but ran against the corrupt leadership.
(A) Nobody knows what she's going to do, so talks of a presidency is premature
(B) She never indicated a 3rd party run, assuming if she's seeking political office to begin with.
She won't peel off Dem votes and will split Republicans.
As an Independent Conservative within the GOP, she will rebuild the old Reagan coalition and attract conservative Democrats and libertarians.
Sorry, but I am not putting my support behind the useless whimps of the GOP just to keep their opponents out of office (which doesn’t work at all, look at their numbers, they are DONE). I am putting my vote behind someone I believe in and behind someone who believes in me. If that causes this country to fail, then SO BE IT. NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT! THE TIME FOR BEING SHEEPLE IS OVER!
Does anyone remember that Perot was actually leading both Bush and Clinton before he dropped out of the race, only to get back in after it became clear that neither was serious about Perot's agenda or Perot's supporters?
I'm not saying Palin should run third party, I'm saying that the threat should be there so the GOP doesn't nominate another New York Times choice like McCain.
There are other candidates whom I could enthusiastically support just as much as Sarah Palin. But, so far, I haven't heard any of them mentioned or declared as interested.
