I want to see evidence that she can win. So far I haven't. (I'm not one who dismisses a poll simply because I don't like the results.)

The other day I read that her favorable/unfavorable rating in ALASKA is upside-down, with only 36% favorable toward her. Now poll numbers from Iowa just appeared in my inbox.

I see nothing wrong with being realistic.

you don’t think there’s going to be a boatload more debates??

It says “unprompted” but starts the quote with “He.”
You might be right, but it looks ambiguous. Like she was asked “like who?”
So sue me. I don’t read or watch cnn.
But it hardly sounds like she was *goading* him into anything.

The only EVIDENCE that anyone can win is the results of the vote on the 2nd Tuesday of Novermer.

In my opinion, Palin will announce her run within the next 30-45 days.

And it will be a run that will defy a lot of conventions and will so energize the Republican voter base that we may be seeing the largest loss by a Democrat since 1980, especially if Obama does decide to keep his re-election campaign going.

Think you are right. I also think that the full impact of the movie The Undefeated hasn’t hit this country yet. The DVD is on pre sale at Wal Mart right now. The movie did not change my vote, Palin had my vote before I saw it. But what it did was make me want to FIFGT LIKE HELL to get a President like this elected. I’ve never done that before. The other impact the movie had on me was it caused me to stop second guessing her strategy on when she should declare. It made me realie this woman probably knows what the hell she is doing.

Why not take Gov Palin at her word? She has publicly announced (Hannity TV 7/13) that she would announce her decision in the Aug/Sept time frame. So, cool your jets.

I saw the interview. I’m sure there’s video of it somewhere. She pulled Perry’s name out of thin air.

Here’s what I consider to be a very well thought out analysis of her actions:

Another sign she is running, this is a biggy, is she did not do a second season with TLC on Alaska. An offer was made, she flatly turned it down.

I loved that show (see my tag line!)--but I'd love a President Palin even more. :)

Thanks for the ping, onyx. :)

A fascinating article from a really good analyst. He's one of those homosexuals who doesn't need the homosexual agenda as a crutch. [Had he, he would have been screeching about Mrs. Palin.] A real pro.

That was a good article. Thank you.
I think it is just fascinating watching everyone search the recesses of their brains trying to figure Sarah Palin out. Mostly they have been wrong. She never does what anyone expects her to do. What if she is just her doing things her own way and in her own time and doesn’t really care how other people do things? One way or the other.

Agreed. He Tammy Bruce and others. DuJan loves this country with a passion, as well as our military. I have been reading his work since 2008. He worked on HRC’s campaign and was disgusted and horrified how BHO and Dem Establishment treated her. It really opened his eyes to the Dem Machine. He knows a lot of movers and shakers in Chi Town and is pretty well connected. He has vowed to fight to the death for Sarah and this country. He devotes his life to it. I don’t understand it, but he still sees HRC as a patriot and differently than we do. Has said, though, that if it came down to the two of them he would vote for Sarah.

So why don't you use an unbiased poll then to make your point?

So you're promoting a poll with the following posted demographics?

PARTY I.D. Republican 29% Democrat 35% Independent 36%

GENDER/ Female 59% Male 41%

Do you really believe that there are 14% more Females that will vote over Males?

Do you really believe that there are 6% more Democraps than Republicans in Iowa?

Furthermore, with Obama's Approval at 39% nationally do you really believe a poll that has these type of numbers?

OBAMA APPROVAL
Approval 47%
Disapproval 49%
Neutral/Uncertain 4%


Sounds like, feels like, propaganda to me!

Screw the frickin’ debates. Those things are mindless circle jerks. I’m more interested in what the elected candidate will do in office than in how “clever” they are in a debate.

Now, if they truly had a real debate, that would be a different story.

[upsdriver]

You’re not much of a visionary if you don’t see Sarah Palin TROUNCING Obama in an election.

2. Rick Perry is running for president from the safety of his present office. He has not resigned to make this run, he gives up nothing to make this run. He remains governor through 2014 if he does not win. (not that this relatively recent political development seems to bother the press, or voters anymore)

Holding a job as governor while running for president is unethical. Perry should resign from his job as governor.

[MestaMachine]

Sarah Palin was just on Megyn Kelly’s show for two full segments. She was terrific. She ALSO said she still has not seen a candidate she can put her heart and soul behind.
Hmmmm.

[pburgh01]

Can you quantify that she will beat Obama, besides anecdotal evidence and the comments here in the echo chamber that is FR.
