I may be a little way out there, but I've seen Rush predict crazier things and they came true. Here is my crazy scenario, and please, comment on it...let me hear what you think.
Romney continues cris-crossing the US. Palin continues the tour, and declares on July 4th or a day before or a day after so as to not send conflicting messages. Obama's ratings keep dropping with the USD, commodities rise more, golf rounds continue...and Boehner continues his stupidity like volunteering to play golf with the pretender in chief.
About the end of August, our RNC still hasn't come to its senses and it is clear RNC won't pick Palin, and, her statements to the press make it increasingly clear she'll be a third part.
Then, it becomes clear Hillary wants the reigns and quits, and, declares a third party candidacy as an alternative to One.
I predict we'll end up with 4 parties, 4 candidates. Crazy?
Think Trump and Ron Paul -— there will be 6 parties and 6 candidates.
Why not PALIN/CAIN?
Doubtful to me. She has never stopped running for president, but I suspect the Democrat party, as radically far left as it is, suits her pretty well.
As for a third party on the right, it’s just a matter of time, what with all the radio talk experts exhorting us to get behind Romney, the one who lost to the big loser in 2008. Rewarding mediocrity now makes just as much sense as it did for the GOP in 2008. It’s the quickest route to four more years of you know who.
O.K. I think your 2012 election scenario is just as crazy as you said it was. A third and fourth political party? No way! But since we're speculating, I think Palin will run for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination and win. If she lost she would throw her support to another candidate that came closest to her conservative views. No third party run, which she knows would split the Republican vote and help elect Obama, much as Ross Perot helped elect Bill Clinton in '92. Hillary Clinton is a solid Democrat leftist and seems to be comfortable in the Marxist administration. Whatever she may think of Obama, I can't see her jumping the Democrat ship to go 'independent'. VP...perhaps...but no 'third party' run for Hillary.
How do I know these things, you might ask. Well, I don't. I'm simply speculating based on what I do know about Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Hillary Clinton will turn 65 next year - and she looks it. I don't nee Hillary running another exhaustive campaign. Sarah Palin will only be 48 next year. That's young for a politician. If she didn't run for president (or the GOP nomination) she could run for senator or serve in a prospective Republican administration in a responsible, visible position (possibly a Cabinet post). By 2016 or 2020, she would only be 52 or 56, an age when many presidents have been elected. Not too young to be considered inexperienced but not too old to be seen as 'tired'. In short; Palin has options that Hillary doesn't. No 'independent' presidential run for either is likely. However, like you, I could be wrong.
Hillary would beat Obama in a primary contest. It’s a matter of risking the weaponry the executive would respond with. It would not be pretty. A good democracy is just that.
Yes. Baracchio will finally be exposed as native born but not
natural born (only one parent was US citizen).
wow..THAT would be a tough ticket to beat...yeesh.
Not even in the ball park. Better leave the thinking to Rush, the master. Half his brain tied behind his back and you still can’t even come close.
“No sale.gyWhat will happen (and what has probably been the deal all along) is that Biden gets dumped in favor of Hillary as VP candidate.”
Only if Palin or Bachmann win the nomination.
She’s not worn out, she is pissed to the gills.
It was her one big chance to become president and she was shunted aside for the most exploitative of reasons for a candidate of questionable qualifications.
If Obama is going to keep going dow, the DNC will either give the candidacy without question or she will walk.
And she is probably their best chance at this point.
You are right.
Or Palin/West
I agree. That to me is the most likely scenario. Don’t forget that Corsi, who started the whole birther thing, was working for Hillary. It’s logical to think that the eligibility issue will ramp up even with Dems to ditch Obo.
The RNC will not pick our candidate and Palin said that she would NOT run third party.
I know nothing about West, guess maybe I should. Quick summary?
Palin has also hinted that she might run at all, saying something along the lines that she realizes she can also do good without holding office.
That would leave a Cain candidacy, and possibly a Bachmann for VP.
A not undesirable choice.
End of story.
