Sarah Palin's man in Iowa says she will run for the White House in 2012
The London Telegraph ^ | June 29, 2011 | Toby Harnden

Sarah Palin will run for the White House in 2012 and conduct an “unorthodox, grassroots campaign the likes of which you’ve never seen”, according to the man in Iowa who has spent the past eight months organising for her in Iowa.

Speaking to me after the premiere of the film “The Undefeated” in Pella, Iowa, Peter Singleton, a California lawyer who has been assiduously courting Republicans across the state where the first contest of the 2012 election will be heard, said it was “unthinkable” she would remain on the sidelines.

She’s the right person at this time,” he said. “If you look back at Churchill’s time, in 1938 Churchill was unelectable, in 1940 he was indispensable.

“I can’t see her sitting this one out,” he said. “The stakes are too high. It goes back to 1940. Can you see Churchill sitting it out? It’s unthinkable. Can you see George Washington in 1776 sitting it out? Unthinkable. He wanted to be back on his farm but they said we need you to be president of the republic.”

Mr Singleton, 56, tall and urbane, is a man of considerable mystery. He represents the national Organize4Palin group and has been ubiquitous in Republicans circles building up a network for the former Alaska governor, whose presidential intentions have kept Americans guessing for months.

Although he was standing about 20 yards away from Mrs Palin as he talked to me, Mr Singleton insisted he had never met or spoken to her.....

A big one. Will engulf the entire nation. Some day, I am going to be able to tell the baby that she is still free because we went to war in 2012 and WON!

I could certainly get excited enough over a Palin/West Ticket to wet my pants, BUT, I still say that the Hispanic vote will be the deciding factor in this Election. The GOP needs Marco Rubio on the Ticket.

PALIN / RUBIO 2012.

______________________________________________________________
Why would he not be? Because his parents were born in Cuba? I’m thinking that Rush said he was NOT eligible. But, the jury is still out on that.

He is eligible but does not want a spot on the ticket.
He has made this very clear.

Can you see George Washington in 1776 sitting it out? Unthinkable. He wanted to be back on his farm but they said we need you to be president of the republic.”

LOL. Maybe he should be working for Bachmann.

Luv to see America see the real Palin that Alaska knows, but I also know she wouldn’t do a divisive 3rd party run; not in her makeup.

Well then, how's this for something deliciously new and wonderful?


PALIN/PALIN 2012

I mean, is there any reason why a husband and wife couldn't run?

Marco Rubio

born May 28, 1971 in Miami, FL (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Mario Rubio born in Cuba
Oria Garcia born in Cuba

Unless proof of their naturalization prior to May 28, 1971 is produced Marco Rubio must be considered as NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

Morco's status may be the same as that of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Hussein Obama who is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.

No, but there is a reason why two individuals who are resident of the same state may not wish to:

Amendment 12 - Choosing the President, Vice-President. Ratified 6/15/1804. Note History The Electoral College

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; .....

garyb provides the relevant information. In practical terms, it would mean that you would need to pad the margin of victory by enough that the VP candidate an still gain sufficient EVs without any from his home state, or else you risk sending the election of the VP to Congress.

Add this guy to the list of those that are 'sure' she is running. Maybe he should of mentioned it to her (Palin) while she was there, seems to be a re-occuring theme, telling everyone but her.
