'I can win a national election': Palin insists she could be prez, won't reveal if she's going to run
The London Daily Mail ^ | July 10, 2011 | Fiona Roberts

Sarah Palin has long refused to reveal whether or not she will run for president in next year's election. But today the former Alaska governor has revealed if she doesn't, it certainly won't be from a lack of confidence.

In an interview, the Tea Party favourite said she believes she can win a presidential election - but still refused to be drawn on whether she will launch White House campaign.

Appearing on the front cover of Newsweek for the fifth time in three years, she said: 'I believe that I can win a national election.

'I'm not so egotistical as to believe that it has to be me, or it can only be me, to turn things around. But I do believe I can win.'

It's the latest hint she may still run. The comments follow a campaign-style bus tour and, most recently, the premiere of a documentary about her life, The Undefeated, in the key election state of Iowa. Despite not having declared her candidacy, she has 16 per cent of Republican support according to the latest Gallup poll, and is second only to Mitt Romney, on 24 per cent.....

>>I really don’t give a damn.<<

I’ll take that as a “No.”

Oh, goody! I haven’t gotten to play the victim in a long time.. or did I just repeat playing the victim? ;-)

That’s quite a list of offenders you have there. Haven’t found myself on it yet, but I’ll keep looking.

Soon this thread will be useless. The Gov. Palin supporters will arrive en legion, and will say that anyone who suggests realpolitik may be in play or that Gov. Palin may not run (or other mortal sins) are liberals, RINO-supporters (you, clearly, were the first of these), liberal operatives, “victims” (for pointing out reality), socialists, communists, rustlers, cutthroats, murders, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con-men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglars, horse thieves, bull-dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, sh**-kickers, and (worst of all) Methodists.

That is one heck of a list! I’m going to have to remember some of those:) Thanks for the chuckle!

So who is your RINO of choice that Sarah Palin is disrespecting?

I was quoting you — it was your term “your RINO of choice” that started the discussion.

Maybe you didn’t type it? That happens sometimes...

I have to admit — most of it is from “Blazing Saddles.” One of the top 5 funniest movies ever.

And that movie could never be made today. Even though it is the most biting indictment of racism ever, today’s liberals could never understand the subtlety in its being over the top.

You have got things sort of reversed — you are the one accusing (as you have already done).

Are doing your own posting tonight?

I have been following as many other forums as I can defending Sarah. In the last few days the PDSers have ramped up from rabid to slobbering rabid. Say some thing positive and they come out a dozen at a time. Did I miss something?

I’ll ask the question again: Who is your RINO of choice that you believe is being unfairly treated by Sarah Palin because she chooses not to declare on a schedule that your RINO likes?

Your question is a non-sequiuer (and also a strawman and probably about 4-6 other logical fallacies).

It was YOU who said anyone who does not support Gov. Palin has “your RINO candidate.” The only conclusion is that YOU think anyone who does not support Gov. Palin is supporting a RINO candidate (no matter who said target of your inanity is).

Your repeated attempts to purposely mis-state my position doesn’t do you much good. No one said anything about what Gov. Palin may or may not be saying or thinking about any other candidate, unfairly or not.

Do you REALLY want me to go back and post back YOUR posts that established your untenable position? It is all here, in black and white and your attempt to change the results of those conclusions won’t change what you posted.

YOU stated anyone who doesn’t agree with YOUR selection of a candidate (in this case Gov. Palin) is supporting a RINO Candidate. Not her, not me. YOU.

Is that easy enough to understand?

Logically disabled little sycophant, ain’t ya?

You can’t answer my post, so you go straight to ad hominem.

The last refuge of the small-brained.

I don't care about anything you have to say.

Sarah is going to be the next President.

Deal with it.

Tell the truth.

Your RINO of choice is Rick "CFR-Boy" Perry, right?

IOW, you are busted.

You know you called anyone who says anything against YOUR candidate (at this point it doesn’t matter who — the issue is it is YOUR candidate) is a RINO.

If Gov. Palin wins the nod and runs the table, I will be the happiest guy in the world. I defy you (oh! that logic and proof thing again! That is a cross to your vampira!) to point to a single post where I have said otherwise.

I have made some political observations about what may happen — I have made no statements on Gov. Palin herself.

But you won’t respond with any posts, examples, substance nor anything other than ad hominem. Because that is all your kind has.

Your attempt to evade my direct questions is pathetic.
