Do Not Count Sarah Palin Out for 2012 (Begrudging admiration from a Democratic insider)

I'll be knocking on doors, raising bags of cash, putting up signs and anything else I can do.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I’ll help raise money, contribute my time, energy, whatever necessary to help put her in the White House. I’ll be her campaign manager if she will have me.

[napscoordinator]

I am not counting her out. I saw her on barbra Walters and she pretty much said the same thing Hillary Clinton said prior to announcing she was running. She will run. I can’t wait to see the Republican Primary Debates!!!!!

[wac3rd]

If Sarah runs, I will volunteer and pull many Obama signs from front yards, plus watch ACORN maggots as they have “Mr. X” vote 12x.

Sarah is my choice.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

She has my vote.

[DogBarkTree]

I’ll be looking to confront Black Panther types outside of polling booths. I give credit to the young man in Philly but he was just a little to timid and nice about it. This middle aged nasty cowboy wont be so diplomatic.

My Gawd, grudging admiration from an admitted liberal lackey who is a Katherine Sebelius fan and who wallows in his own self-esteem.

What next?

Grudging admiration from Frank Rich in the NYT...???

Palin is a woman unafraid of the media whores. She is shaking up the conservative movement but as for me I would love to see Sen Tom Coburn run for president.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I would never vote for Sarah Palin, but I wouldn’t bet against her either, though it galls me to admit it.

The big lib power brokers are starting to fully realize the enormity of their error in driving her from the governor's office in Alaska.

Sarah Plain is very smart, so I am sure she has her own plans on what she her strategy is going be going forward.
Mu own suggestions would include some strategic visits to some foriegn countries.
Some ideas that come to mind would be if she could snag an address to the British Conservative Party conference next year, possibly before they win the British elections.
An address to the anti-gloBULL warming Australian Liberal Party sound like another good idea.
Plus visits to Germany to hob nob with Angela Merkhel, German Chancellor and the most powerful woman in Europe, followed by visits to Iraq, Afghanistan, and perhaps India spread through 2010 and 2011.
these would help burnish her foreign policy credentials especially with the independents she is going to need in order to win in 2012.

What??? Palin, like Obama ‘is a people person?’ What people is Obama the person of??? Ivy League elitists and Commie sympathizers? Race baiters?

Sorry. Obama won because the twisted caucuses and outright stealing of ballots by ACORN (and the New Black Panther party). Hillary was robbed in many, many locales (PUMAs anyone???)

Palin cause worry because she IS everything they know The Won isn’t.

What drivel...

[9YearLurker]

She has my vote, my cash and my labor.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Amen...all of the high fives; and behind the scenes manipulations (ie, supporting evil minded, couched planted bloggers) has (channelling my inner Jeremiah Wright) caused the ‘chicknnnnnnnns to come hommmmmmme to roost.’

Palin is free to roam about the country.

Two years early.

Karma. Just Karma.

[johncocktoasten]

“While I believe that President Obama will win re-election in 2012 he can only count on 241 of the 270 electoral votes he needs to win.”

Obama will not win Virginia, North Carolina, or Indiana again.

Palin will make Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Pennsylvania very close.

The bloom is off the rose, and independents won’t be flocking to support Obama again. His re-election will only be secured by three way race, or a combination of vote fraud, massive base turnout, and a very weak republican candidate. In a nut shell, the same thing that happened in 08

[4rcane]

or better yet, put sarah signs on known obama’s voter front yard, and watch blue on blue action :) Because we all know Liberals will start targeting Palin’s houses with eggs or tomatoes

[benewton]

For a conservative person, and thinking I’d never vote for a woman for more years than I’d care to count, is there another choice?

So, Palin has my vote.

[RED SOUTH]

At this point I do not believe Obama starts 2012 with 242 electoral votes in the bag. I am not even positive that he will be the nominee.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I wonder if he will even seek the nomination.

The National Enquirer (among other tabloids) has been ‘floating’ the Obama Sick; Obama Lung Cancer; etc., stories to go along with his ‘weight loss.’

Who knows...they do ‘plant’ foundations for these stories to grow from (remember the Edwards has a mistress tales?)

[ME-262]

I’d vote for Sarah again. And I won’t have to hold my nose as I do it if McSame is not on the ticket this time.
