Ping!
Okay, now I get it.
(Sigh of relief.)
Good analysis. True? Only time will tell...
Sounds right on to me. She will do it HER way ;-)
One thing, I remember she’s said she would not enter the race unless there is no other conservative candidate that can carry the right message, or words to that effect. So when she announces, the PDSers will interpret it as a slap against Bachmann and Perry, and try to divide the true conservatives. I reckon it will take winning a few primaries to sort that out, just like it only took one straw poll for T-Paw to hit the mat.
And the number one reason for the delay..........
She’s Not Running!
I like her a lot but it’s obvious she is not going to run. All the Palin is running supporters see is the front office, there is no back office to a Palin campaign and it’s the behind the scenes stuff that drives the bus. This makes it clear she is either not running or thinks the laws of national level politics won’t apply to her. I can tell you she is smart enough to know this stuff which leaves us back to square one. She’s not running.
I do feel some distress that her entry will come mostly at the expense of Bachman, who I like almost as much as Palin. I really hate that they'll have to go at each other. I want them both.
Sounds like you are getting a bit nervous. Lots and lots of excuses and “explanations” going on and on. Too bad that this will never go beyond the “opinion/apologetic” stage.
she has my vote- please run sarah- america needs you BAD
She has alluded to Bachmann’s lack of executive experience. She has also mentioned that the Texas Governorship is a weak position. No doubt she has a good many policy differnces with Perry as well....Gardasil...instate tuition for children of illegals, open borders, cronyism etc.
Neither of them fills the bill.
I suspect Palin has been waiting to see who gets in the field. If she can settle with who’ll probably get the nod (Perry, Bolton), she won’t run.
‘First Dude’ wants nothing to do with living in DC.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Sarah is first a business woman. This ends with a book signing for adoring fans writing about her 2012 Presidential bus run and how she brought out the best in the GOP.
She is using Fox News to fund her campaign. Why should she declare when they repeat her talking points about herself, never challenge her. There are election laws for a reason. Why is Murdock going out of his way to pay for Palin’s campaign? Who is he married to? Start asking yourself some questions and stop taking everything at face-value.
She is not running because Bachman already got Ed Rollins to work for her...ha ha........ROFL..hey i made it up but it is funny...pfff!
I do agree that getting in early is a waste of time and money money and that Palin exclusive dynamics (virtually 100% name and face recognition) and ability to raise money really quickly when needed has advantages for her in that she can afford to wait while others had to get in.
Here’s the deal, no matter who a voter supports now other than hardcore libertarian Paulbots or Establishment Romneybots types, if Sarah Palin is walking down the street, most will probably stop and greet her and see her use her skilled retail politics on them; if there is a rally going on, the local networks or national TV will most likely carry it and a lot of people, even blase on Palin or politics in general will stop to hear her.... She got that IT’ factor
That is straight out propoganda. Palin is not a business woman, she is a life-long elected political hack. If you are going to say something, get your facts straight. At least do that.
You really are living in a fantasy world. No poll out there shows Palin doing well with evangelicals, let alone in Iowa. Nor has she shown a willingness to speak on social issues unless she is getting paid to do so.
Iowa evangelicals are solidly in the camp of Bachmann and there is no reason to believe that is going to change because Bachmann comes off a a greater champion of social issues than Palin or any other candidate. Perry has the largest percentage of evangelical support nationally and that may well translate into significant evangelical support in Iowa. The Response gives him credibility among Iowa evangelicals..
She had no path to victory in Iowa. Her campaign is DOA in NH. If she gets buried those to states, it will game on and game over.
