Bear with me for a moment. I don't like repeat myself on threads but consider this:
There is a serious attempt to paint Sarah Palin as a Third Party candidate. Perhaps you have read articles concerning this. I will submit the following:
Romney has outrageously crowned himself THE choice. I use that term because on another article, a statement was issued that actually demanded from Sarah that she needs to make a statement that she would not run for the presidency.
The word demanded is not of my creation. It was used by detractors.
Stay with me for a moment as I address the Third Party issue. We do not have a two party system in America. It is a one party system at the present time. Why do I say this? Simply because the two are identical. The only difference is that they wave two different flags.
Sarah Palin is not a third party candidate under these conditions. She has become the only legitimate second party of an illusionary two party system.
It is an outrage that it was demanded that she needs to state that she will not run. Who do these RINOs think they are?
I know what they think they are. They display utter disdain and contempt for those who have voted for them in the past. 'Moderate' is a code word which means that they will pander to leftists.
So this time around, there is no 'political hostage taking' that demands that we have to vote for the lesser of two evils.
We have a two party system. It's a choice between Sarah Palin or an illusion that the Republicans and Democrats are different with respect to ideology.
Two parties. Palin or the the arrogant DemiPublic party.
I doubt that Clinton will run at all. And I very seriously doubt that Palin would ever run against the GOP
Bingo. That’s one tired broad.
To your point about Preibus and the RNCL I do not think Preibus is an old guard Republican. He was main engineer behind the tea party take over of Wisconsin, according to a friend of mine who is a Wisconsin AFP activist. This guy think Preibus is one of the good guys who now has a very tough job.
Yes, Bachmann and Cain are desirable possibilities.
About Palin's comments on running, she has also said that she has the fire in the belly, and Todd has said that the family is ready for a run if Sarah decides to run.
About Sarah's comment about doing good while not holding office, I believe that was a reference to what she has been doing over the last 20 months since she left office.
And with Hillary as Obama’s running mate, the MSM will make sure the debate centers on the “peace and prosperity” of the Clinton years, and how great “Clinton’s economy” was. We need to have answers ready.
>>> The GOP in their infinite wisdom has not even addressed the issue of open primaries.>>>
These decisions are left to the state parties, not the national organization. It’s a huge problem, but the anger should go to certain states. Too many Freepers think the RNC is some kind of all powerful cabal that performs Jedi mind tricks on folks. We have the government, and the party, we have corporately elected and chosen.
Not to mention a huge swath of the electorate who like to think they get government goodies on somebody else’s dime.
Did you hit your head in the last few days. Time was your post would have be destroyed because of poor spelling and bad grammer.
Also several points you make are not valid, the RNC doesn’t pick anyone.
Gee, you don't mix half dozens and six's do ya?
Now I'll admit they are FAR FAR different from the Communists who'd taken over Wisconsin's unions, but they're pretty much old line in their thinking and willingness to challenge the status quo.
Preibus engineered an Old Guard takeover in Wisconsin.

I think HRC has too much political savvy to pick a french vp.
There was a theory a few months ago that Obama would resign in November 2011 to take the Secretary General job at the UN. Biden would become POTUS, but not run in 2012. The Democratic primary would be an open field. At the end of his term (Jan 19, 2013) Biden would pardon everyone associated with the Obama BC issue.
Thus,
BHO gets to be President of the World.
Biden gets to be POTUS without running for the job.
Pelosi, et. al. get to be pardoned for the greatest fraud in US history.
HRC gets a clear path to the nomination.
The US gets a female POTUS regardless if HRC or SP wins.
Neat trick.
That is a theory where all the pieces fit!
Hillary as VP is a serious possibility. She would be foolish to run against a sitting Democrat President, who is also a designated black man. It would wreck her chances forever.
Running as VP might be seen as a way to help Obama get re-elected, and to give Hillary better qualifications to run for POTUS in 2016. So it would be advantageous for both of them.
Many people joked back in 2008 that if Obama chose Hillary as his VP, he’d better watch his back, or there might be an Arkancide in the works. I don’t think that’s likely. There has never been a more closely guarded President that Obama. Even supposing that hillary wanted to do him in, she would never get the chance, not even as VP.
I think Obama chose Biden because he had nothing to fear from him. And supposedly he had serious foreign policy experience(!) But the time for that is probably over. The main thing is for the Big Loser to get himself re-elected.
This administration is one foreign policy blunder after another. I doubt Hillary sleeps more than 12 hours a week. While the "C-inC" is out golfing, she's in the middle east cleaning up another one of Obama's messes.
If Obama is going to keep going dow, the DNC will either give the candidacy without question or she will walk.
The DNC will never anger the black vote. Period. Obama will be the nominee. And Hillary knows she would never have a chance without the black vote, which would stay with Obama. A third party presidential run for Hillary couldn't reach a plurality, much less a majority...and she knows it.
John McCain was furious after he lost to Bush during the 2000 primaries because he knew that was his last real chance at becoming president. If Hillary is pissed, it's because she knows she missed her opportunity to become the first female president. It's gone.
And I think she's too old for the Supreme Court. The Dems want someone who will be there for decades just in case they don't get another chance for a long time.
Stupid, yes. Stupidest, no. Palin/Hillary. Beat that.
Why not Palin/West?
The AL GOP refuses to address the open/closed primary issue. Makes no sense to me. In fact, it is plumb stupid.
