Coming off her week-long One Nation bus tour that was widely seen as a test-run for a presidential campaign, Sarah Palin says she’s starting to see that running for president might not be the best fit for her.
“Not only do I love my freedom of not having a title and being a declared candidate — that is liberating — I know you can make a difference as an individual,” she said. “Hopefully, I can inspire others to know that you don’t need a title. You don’t need to be in office to effect positive change.”

Sarah, the only candidate who looks good in a helmet.
As for her comment about not being a candidate being liberating, I think she’s playing rope-a-dope.
If Palin was to run those same posters who have posted 100X that 'she is running' would forget about me pretty soon, but this seems like an easy one.
Nice pic :)
I think she’ll announce by the end of July. What I saw in the Hannity interview tonight is someone who knows what she has to do, struggling to find a way out of it but pretty close to accepting what’s in front of her.
I find your honest views interesting, thanks.
You gotta love MB, she takes on the MSM face to face and beats them:
MSM :”How long have you beat your child?”
MB: “ I am glad you mentioned domestic abuse. Our children will be slaves to the national debt that Democrats are saddling us with. And the worst child abuse is abortion which Obama promotes, and don't get me started on Obama-care. ”
versus
Hannity:”Governor Palin, dont you agree Obama’s economic plan has failed?”
Palin:”Yes, I agree with you 100%. It is a failure.”
Bachmann is serious.
Maybe so, but her resume is stronger than that of the first Republican president (not to mention that of the incumbent, who exemplifies proof not all Illinois lawyers are created equal).
That's what I took from it also.
I think she would rather not for the good of her family, but for the good of the country she will step forward and go 100% for the win.
I'm over 35 with an IQ in the 130’s. No way in He11 am I qualified to be Pres.
Sarah will run on the republican ticket and I will go door to door to bring my in my precinct for her. What will you do? Posting on FR doesn’t count.
“Sarah Palin does not want to run for President, and she is resisting the realization that she has no choice.”
Sarah is laying the groundwork in the public’s mind that she has no other choice but to throw her hat into the ring because....
There are no suitable (or electable) Republicans in the race.......(Cain and Bachmann are suitable, but neither is really electable)
and.....
The void so created above could/will be filled by a vote spliting 3rd party challenger that will hand Obama his 2nd term.
Sarah wants you to come to the conclusion that she is the only viable Conservative Republican Candidate.......
When it is apparent that the general public recognizes this as the truth she will declare......
Meanwhile she has a lot of “vacationing” to do all across the USA.
As she said in Madison, Wi “Game ON!”
That’s what love of country does. It’s why her son joined the Army. It runs in their blood and there’s nothing they can do except their duty.
I am certain that the moment she announces her bid for the GOP nomination Sarah Palin IS the GOP nominee. Not one GOP challenger can even come close to her and she should not even bother with them.
Palin 2012 should start off from the get-go taking on Obama and not stop. All good Americans know that it is time for Obama to go, that he is a failed politician in way over his head.
For the sake of the country’s future, a new President must be elected in 2012. That new President, whether she likes it or not, is Sarah Palin.
Sarah’s stock will drop dramatically if she chooses not to run. This “kingmaker” talk is nonsense. I personally don’t want to hear about Sarah Palin’s choice for President, unless it is herself. I already know who I think are the worthy among thoses several great people who CANNOT win, and who are worthless. Bob
Maybe, but Palin is outsmarting them. That is why Palin is getting all the attention and Bachmann is largely ignored.
Bachman is feeding the MSM by giving them legitimacy. Palin is starving them.
Are you an illegal alien?
I can’t answer you right at this moment. I will be with her campaign helping however I possibly can, be it door-to-door, city-to-city, working phones anything at all!
Cain
Nope. Born in Texas both parents born in Georgia.
My points is your post #32 only gets her into the race it does not make her the most qualified by itself.
