Sarah Louise Palin

Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

Please! What a bunch of dolts and wishful thinking! As it was pointed out early, Palin would be hurting her so call brand if she was playing games by looking like she would run and and then all of a sudden jump out and say “no” I’m not”....people who supported her would just be angry, disappointed and just walk away. There has been nothing in her past that ever suggested that she was such a person

Sounds like this writer needs to take a class, Palin 101. He doesn’t have a clue to her motivations or goals. She is going to announce her candidacy when she wants to, not when they want her to.

She is not going to follow their script and she told them that. That includes hiring their over-priced firms to provide the wrong strategy for her. Her game plan is written and her path to victory is charted and don’t get in her way.

I don’t do what other people do just because they’re doing it anyway, and that includes placing bets on things I have zilch control over.

some Democrats dream fondly of Obama facing Palin across the presidential-debate stage.

I’m sure they do but it would be like having sex
with a praying Mantis, all fun til she bites
your head off.

Hahaha, they don’t even begin to understand what they
are in for.

Heh......browning out on her governorship doomed her political future right then. Not even skidmarks - straight over the cliff.

Exactly. Doing this bus tour, the movie, hiring experts etc, and then not running would turn Palinophiles off and she would be considered a fraud. She is running, no doubt about it now.

Do you think they will make a new rule to allow teleprompters?

BINGO!!

Plus, if she announced now, the MSM will throw everything at her 24/7. Who would want that hassle? Better to go battle early next year when she’s done teasing these libtard pricks.

But some FReepers absolutely insist she isn’t running. Let’s hear from them now!

Palin may decide that the stars have aligned for her

I think at this point that if she sees any viable path (and I think she does), then she'll run.

But we may know more after her bus tour. If the bus tour is a disaster, that portends one direction. If it's a smashing success, well...

“It is, of course, for precisely this reason that some Democrats dream fondly of Obama facing Palin across the presidential-debate stage. They look at Palin’s tendency to polarize, her high negative ratings and her tendency to make sometimes-confounding public remarks and they tend to share the sentiment that Obama strategist David Plouffe expressed last year: ‘Something tells me we won’t get that lucky’.”

Just a slight drift here. Has the demonic party establishment even hinted at attacking ANY other “so-called” GOP candidate? Even Rick Santorum, the most “hated Republican” in the senate?
No. They haven’t. Wonder why. Because they WANT Sarah to run???? I don’t think so.

though the Republican establishment would no doubt rally against her,

They know who the RINOs are. We know who the RINOs are. They waste precious O2.

From the article: “Asked to give his “gut feeling” about whether Palin will enter the 2012 race, Republican strategist Dan Judy responded: “My gut feeling is that it is impossible to have a gut feeling about Sarah Palin.

Now here is a Republican strategist willing to go out on a limb!

[She may indeed be on the brink of deciding that the presidential race is too enticing to pass up. But it seems just as likely that she has no intention of doing so, and is more interested in using the media attention she gets at moments like these to maintain her profile – and her celebrity. ]

Boy, they really hate her. The implication is that Palin is entirely 110% driven by celebrity and self interest. That’s another meme about to be broken.
