A Palin Announcement on September 3rd Looks More Likely
Big Government ^ | Sunday August 21, 2011 | Natalie Nichols

Posted on 08/21/2011 11:51:59 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

If the Republican Presidential race were a poker game, you could say that Palin, the underdog has remained in late position long enough to see the full ring, to expose the live ones. She’s learned their tells, and she’s seen some bust, but now it’s time for her to go all in with what looks to be a royal flush.

If you’re not a poker player, you may need a poker dictionary to decipher my analogy. And “they” think she doesn’t know how the game of politics is played. The good old boys just never realized that she wasn’t playing by their rules.

If, or rather when, Sarah Palin announces her candidacy for President; Republican polls will likely shift in her favor.

[...]

It’s looking more and more these days as if Sarah Palin will announce her run for the White House in short order. If you keep up with Palin’s history, you may come to the conclusion that there is no accident in her decision to go to Iowa September 3rd for what many believe will be her big announcement. September 3, 2011 is three years, to the day, that Sarah Palin accepted the nomination for Vice President and gave her famously rousing speech during the Republican National Convention.

[..]

72% of likely Republican voters say when casting their primary vote, they favor a candidate who shares their views over one who has a better chance of winning.

That turns the notion of people agreeing with Sarah Palin, but “don’t think she can win” from a negative, into a potential strength. They are going to vote for her regardless, thus, breaking the mold of the typical voter.

but she sure as heck insulted me in her film.

Only if you are a Rino. Real Conservatives cheered. The Republicans have dissed conservatives for years. And lied to us. I am NOT a Republican. I AM a conservative.

If you pay attention to my posts, they concentrate on Palin’s electability. That is because my overriding desire is to defeat Obama. We need to be careful what we do. I think this will come down to a two way race between Romney and Perry. Who do you want?

Second verse, same as the first!

Save your worries about Palin's electability.

Start worrying about Perry's electability when the electorate and GOP primary voters realize he's a mirror image of GWB and maybe worse, when it comes to illegal immigration!

Rick Perry: Illegal Immigrants Who Serve In The Military Deserve Citizenship

There's another thread today, wherein he tried to explain it, and only made it worse.

What Americans do not want to see in these terrible times is political strategies on when to announce.

You sound like a liberal. They are always saying, The American people want .... or The American people think ....

This American person doesn't care about their political strategies or when they announce. The idea that when a person announces is connected to the terrible condition of this country is also preposterous. No matter when they announce or who wins they can't take office until January 20, 2013, and until they are in office they cannot do anything concrete to save this country.

Almost everyone misunderstands and underestimates Sarah. I thought she was brilliant from the beginning and now I think even that may be an underestimation. She is spending no money on campaigning and she still gets most of the media attention. The media were chasing her bus all over the country until is was repeatedly pointed out what fools she was making of them. She was the pied piper and they were the rats.

What did her bus do? Painted red, white, and blue and emblazoned with patriotic symbols she took her family on a tour of the historic places in this country. That reminded some people and taught others about how and why this country was founded. She even educated some about Paul Revere's ride. Rush Limbaugh is now trying to ride that wave to success in the tea business. He should pay Sarah for the idea.

I would say that she is more than brilliant. Oh, another thing. She was the first conservative to state openly that career politicians are our enemy, also, as well as the Democrats. That set the Republican Party's hair on fire and now they are against her, too.

Which came first, Sarah Palin or the Tea Party Movement? It was Palin on the campaign trail with John McCain that inspired the Tea Party Movement. She was so refreshing compared to the normal career politician. She was the first to "tell it like it is" and she inspired that in others like Christie in NJ and it is what give Donald Trump 15 seconds of spotlight, which he is drawn to like a moth to flame.

Sarah is a leader!

I find it amazing to expect people who had no respect for our rule of law when entering this country are going to swear an oath to protect and defend same upon entry into the military (and mean it).

Beam me up...

ROFL!!

Well, so is tree hugger Harry Braun from AZ. However, he was so repugnantly despicable as to link dear little Trig to his enviro-wacko public comments. Talk about a filthy, old, worm-eaten old disgusting scumbag ..

Case in point, The Iowa ad played on MTP this morning. Touched more people that a week of campaigning by the announced candidates last week.

>> “OR, so many conservatives will divide the vote sufficiently to give it to Mittens.” <<

.
Something you ate?

Once Palin jumps in officially, the rest of the field will have to look at their internal polling data, and recognize her strength, and back out.

Perry may stay for a short while, but he will take votes from Romney, not Palin. His real nature will be impossible for him to hide for long.
