Sarah Palin PING! I made a vanity post, making a summary of the hints Palin has been giving for a 2012 run.
Any chance she runs as a Third Party candidate representing the Tea Party?
I noticed in her speech on Saturday, she took on the GOP establishment.
Game on!
And this time it’s her game.

I sure hope not...what a mess that would be - likely ending with the idi0t back in office.
That is not a Rational Thought, Rational Thought.

Imagine a FOUR-WAY race though...not entirely implausible:
-Hillary resigns as SoS and challenges Obama from the center
-Romney gets GOP nod (increasingly LESS likely but work with me here)
-Trump or Palin (or both as a team) challenges Romney from the right
The chances of that are small but boy would it be fun.
After Saturday there’s no doubt in my mind she’s going to run.
Go Sarah!

It seems to me that when Tea Party members demand representation from the Republican leadership versus being taken for granted, we had better be in a position of leaving the option open.
Trump has sped up all the potential GOP candidates in getting their campaigns together.
With Pawlenty and Romney already “in”....Palin has to act soon
There was a time I thought for certain Palin would run....but cannot say as much now. So until she claims she’s running, or any of them who have indicated but not proclaimed, it’s still an open field.
If Palin gets the nomination I will not have a problem voting for her. She’s smart enough to get a broad and top notch team around her to shore up any areas she’s weak in. We all know pretty much where she stands on issues and I’m fine with that as well.
However, I have not heard enough of other candidates....of course Romney is out of the question...Hucklebee is as well...and Pawletty needs to get some volume and spine to speak out...Gugliano has too much baggage and from the old boys club...and Trump? Well he’s Trump and a risk at best. So there simply isn’t anyone else who can topple Obama.
Disagree, as it’s more of a question than a thought, and I view very few questions as irrational.
Let me ask you this. If the Republican Party promotes and is successful in nominating Romney, what are our options?
I love Sarah Palin, but I don’t think she is electable (right now) for President. Here is my reason why...,
First, the incumbent almost always has the advantage in any election. I don’t know why, but it’s a matter of fact. Perhaps you can cherry pick some elections, but with most elections this is the case? Thus, if you are a polarizing candidate (meaning people either love you, hate you and there is no in between) then it’s a lot harder to get elected too. So if you have two polarizing candidates Incumbent (Obama) vs. Challenger (Palin), then the polarizing factor will zero out. The advantage will then lean towards the Incumbent’s favor.
Second, I don’t think Sarah is ready for the White House too. Seems like she cannot handle interviews with the Rats in the media and press. For instance, the interview with Katie Couric was disastrous. It’s not so important what the Rats say during the interview, but how Sarah responds. All they need is one bad answer (I know it’s B.S.) to just beat Sarah with it endlessly. For example, reading books or about Russia, etc...
Third, I believe Sarah can do something even more important than being President right now. Sarah would have no problem being elected the Republican Party Chairman. I want to see her clean house in the Republican Party like she did in Alaska. The Republican party is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan. I believe Sarah could be instrumental in turning the party back to it conservative roots. This would save the Republican party IMHO and the Tea Party would fade away. This is bigger than the President because the Chess pieces are already in place. The Republican party holds a lot of offices at the moment because of Obama. However, if they do what they did over the budget again, then it’s going to short lived and trigger the end of the party.
This is just my 2 cents about it, but I maybe wrong?
