Just about the same story.

The ones who say, Sarah is not running for President

are wishful thinkers.

They are usually for some obscure guy who would have to wear a name tag so we can remember who they are.

Yeah, there’s lost of wishful thinking going on among the Romneyites, Libertarians, and 1 percenters on this forum these days.

This story from the Local TV station also throws doubt on the posters take....

http://www.kctv5.com/news/23411288/detail.html

From the Report:

“Many in the partisan crowd were thrilled with the speech”.

“I thought it was very moving,” Destiny Young, of Independence, said. “I definitely got inspired by her speech. I think a lot of the things she said were true.”

Palin’s policy prevented cameras from rolling after the five-minute mark in her speech. Her talking points during the speech included health care, government takeover, and current economic conditions.

“I think first and foremost it was dead right on the point,” Kansas City resident Daniel Simmons said. “America is sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Kansas City grassroots organization Preserving American Liberty booked Palin in January. It sold more than 3,000 tickets for the “Taking Back America” event,

“I was there with my daughter. Hate to say it, but Sara was flat and a bit disappointing.”

If that is what you consider “flat and disappointing”, you need to have your hearing aid checked. Fortunately, the internet makes it impossible to spin crowd reactions, so anyone with eyes and ears knows that you either weren’t at the speech or you have someone else in mind.(J.C. Watts?? Give me a break!!)

She was splendid as anyone with eyes and ears can tell. Nobody hits a grand slam with every speech, but Sarah Palin has the best batting average (by far) of anyone, in my observation of American politics, over the last 40+ years, and that includes “The Great Communicator” himself.

This speech was a three run homer.

RC51 has seen her before, so if he thought her speech was flat, that’s fine, but he’s in the minority.

His expectations were not met. *sigh*

Isn’t it funny how all the Palin dissers claim to love her, but just don’t think she has the ‘stuff.’

We need to rename this place “Trollrepublic.”

Here’s some pics taken by a student... she met personally with students after her speech in Michigan.

Who else is doing policy wonk stuff? none not even mitt........because the public as much as they want to know who is going to challenge obama, their attention span is short for two years before they cast a vote......no, you bring out your policy papers and detail speeches during the primary season not 1000 days away before the next president is sworn in.....sheesh!!!

Cut the Cuda some slack.....she’s a busy lady.

I was there at the event. Everyone is different with different subject matters. JC was wonderful so was Kris....but people came to see the Cuda becasue she is the defacto face of the opposition.

This isn’t the time for major policy speeches. Sarah speech at the SRLC was mostly policy and nobody even mentioned that part of the speech. The time for policy will come no doubt during the election season and thereafter. Sarah is in a way talking policy BUT it’s O’s policices Sarah is critizing. In actuality is rather simple whatever O is doing Sarah would do the complete opposite.

As for Sarah’s heart not in it well she made that mistake once think run for Lt Gov. Sarah will not make the same mistake twice. Sarah has laid to much of a foundation to let it got to waste in the realm of presidential politics. I for one just want Sarah to try and if it’s not to be well then it’s not to be but, Sarah has some thing no one else has and that’s a handle on pulse of the Nation. Sarah gets it whereas the others don’t.

Look, when she resigned as governor of Alaska, people said she was done. She resurrected her career in politics in a unique and stunning way.

Personally, I have faith that Sarah Palin will be out there working for the good of this country, no matter what. She’s a patriot with common sense and, obviously, a great sense of timing.

And I think you’re wrong about her running. Look at the cover of her book: she’s wearing a running suit. Why did she pick that photo? It was a tongue-in-cheek message to her supporters, in my opinion.

I watched the Sarah video and she is her usual self, full of energy and passion and she didn't waste time, and in fact she spoke out against Obama's numerous polices of destruction, including Obama's healthcare reform, the proposed cap and trade bill, the bailouts, etc.  She pointed out why they are wrong for America and what should be the solutions to get the country on the right track.  Sarah didn't speak in repetitive sound bites nor cliches, but rather in practical and sensible approaches to our economic troubles.

JC is a good man and I love his passionate speeches, but he hasn't held a political office since January, 2003, and he seems content with giving speeches.  If he decides to run he will have the chance to compete with the rest of the GOP field – that's the beauty of primaries.

You mentioned that Sarah won't run because her heart isn't in it. I read your post and I see you are biased against her. First your impression of her speech is inaccurate, and second, you seem quite taken by the male politicians. All three of your picks are men.  To say that Sarah doesn't have her heart in it and then suggest Fred Thompson as your third choice when Fred was a lackluster candidate in the 2008 primaries, and despite his wife's and advisers' best efforts he couldn't garner the passion needed to rally the base. Somehow, you find Thompson a potentially strong candidate and yet you tell us that it is Sarah who doesn't have her heart in it.  You don't make a very compelling case.
