Troll.

(sorry LS I could resist)

LOL.

i think WI and MI will also be in play.

I don’t care if Palin polls 30 points below Obama, run Sarah run. Run and call the sumbitch out every step of the way, we know you are the only one we can trust to do that. Run on principle. And if you lose come back in 2016 for the win.

Palin 2012.

Palin will NOT run for POTUS.

I say this with neither glee nor sadness, but merely as a reality. The reasons are clear.

1. Sarah Palin has always put her family first. She recognizes that running for President has become a grueling, brutal, 24/7 process of speeches, travels, fund-raising, debates, and meetings. It is no fun. She will not put her family through this.

2. I think Palin would love to win the election, as a ratification of her values and principles, but she doesn’t really want to BE president.

3. Governor Palin is content with her present role. She can endorse and support good candidates, speak out on issues she cares about, and exercise substantial influence. This is an appealing position where she can maintain her family responsibilities without the horrors of running and being forced to make deals and compromises.

I predict she will make her announcement about not running this September. In the meantime, she gets to have her views widely known and may help to determine the nominee.

I think you make a terrific point that Sarah is unannounced and enthusiasm will return if she announces. Thanks for the reply.

1) Wrong.

2) Wrong.

3) Wrong.

4) Wrong.

Movie re-introduces Mrs. Palin to Iowa caucus attenders in a very favorable light and it's the perfect launch vehicle for a presidential campaign.

It doesn’t “piss me off.”

I also fail to see how supporting Cain makes one a “troll.”

This is an interesting analysis. I’d like to see more polls to back it up though.

[trisham]

Well said.

Sarah Is Indomitable

[RockinRight]

Sounds quite plausible.

I’ll add this: As a Cain supporter, one of the greatest ways for Cain to end up on top is a Palin endorsement. A lot of Palin supporters, upon finding that she’s not running, would have nowhere to go, but if she recommended Cain they’d pay attention. He’d rocket to the top.
