Exactly what she HAS been saying. AND if not, she wouldn’t be saying anything. As it is, she has stated her qualifications compared to the other candidates without ever once tearing them down. She has laid out policy statements. She has gone straight at obama, the RINOs, and dems without flinching. She is my candidate until and unless she tells me otherwise.

Palin is not running for president. Maybe for VP or a cabinet position

‘First Dude’ wants nothing to do with living in DC.

He can set up a garage somewhere on the grounds of 1600 Penn. and tinker on....

* Restoring antique sleds,
* Built a kitplane or restore an Cub older than his.
* Or any other guy contraptions that need work.

This will keep him from going nuts in a town filled with them....

Reagan also caught flak, pressure and criticism for delaying his entry and here is his response from June 21, 1979 (unearthed by Al.B) in which he gives cogent reasons for late entry, which obviously didn’t hurt him because, like Palin, he had 100% name recognition, needed the money and could afford to wait.

Excellent analysis, as usual.

Tickets to vote in the Straw Poll were $30, not #35... and Sarah Palin visited the State Fair Friday - that’s Des Moines, not Ames. To my knowledge, she’s not been to Ames ever. Certainly not this week. Check your facts


Plus, on September 3rd, she will be in Waukee, not Wauka.

If I had made my decision I wouldn’t pretend I hadn’t while still presenting myself as someone who is different from your typical politico.

Mea culpa for the little factual blips. But they are not material to the thesis of the article.

She spent $200K just buying the 6000 votes at Ames (of which she got 4800), not to mention the barbecue, transport and other things. She probably dropped a million on the meaningless straw poll. She will be broke before Halloween.

Brices...

The field is feeling a mile wide and an inch thick.

Pawlenty is gone, and I suspect soon other outliers like Hunstman will be gone. McCotter? IMHO think he is running for VP, as far as I know he is not running for his seat simultaneously, or he wants a full time gig on Fox. Herman Cain? maybe hang in until the South...

She is the only one that can challenge Perry and Willard, and no, I can't see her pulling a Reagan and bringing one of these laggards on the ticket, she will not make Reagan's mistakes...

Again I say IMHO her winning VP is Ford CEO Alan Mulally...

Palin won the free-to-fair-goers Corn Kernel Poll bit.ly/rckmOE Didn’t cost her a thing!

Accuracy mackuracy... you don’t need to be factually correct.... next thing we know, you’ll be an actual working journalist writing ‘factual blips’ for pay instead of spouting your blips for free in an internet forum...

Makes perfect sense to me.

I stand ready for her to make it official.

Larry the Cable Guy you ain’t! Or as they say in the business, “not ready for prime time.”

But hey; keep trying. Someday you might get discovered. ;oD

>> “..why should it be any different for Sarah Palin...” <<

.
Many, probably most, of those expressing concern or doubt are shills here, and will do whatever they can to destroy the candidacy of any strong outsider, because they don’t want the Big Government money machine dismantled.

There is little question that Palin will axe big gov.

So the end of November is the latest she can jump into the race?
