WATCH HER FIGHT LIKE A GIRL!

"Mr. _resident, GAME ON!" APRIL 16, 2011

Amid much speculation about whether or not Sarah Palin will choose to run in the 2012 presidential election, the former Alaskan Governor has announced she will participate in a nationally televised Tea Party Republican Debate.

Although Palin will take part in the debate in the Sept. 12 debate in Tampa, Fla., she still has yet to confirm that she is looking to become a presidential hopeful. However, the 2008 vice presidential candidate seems to be dropping hints via her Twitter page.

"America is waiting for the president to make good on this promise," Palin recently posted on Twitter. "I'll be talking about this and more."

Although Palin will join Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Sept. 12, some say she is only confusing her supporters.

Erick Erickson, said Palin is misleading her constituents.

"We are coming to the end of the line for Sarah Palin's ability to string the Republican primary voters along," Erickson wrote. "They are trying to settle on a candidate now, they've held out hope of her entry and

Sarah hasn’t confirmed anything. This story is incorrect per CNN.

“Invitations were extended to the eight Republicans who will appear on stage in Tampa as well as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Giuliani declined the debate invitation, while a Palin representative has yet to respond to it.”

Confirmed: Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman.

LOL! So it's Sarah's fault because the other candidates can garner enough media attention? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

Says all you need to know about the current field, then, doesn't it?

What kind of poll? Rasmussen, Gallup, Public Policy Polling?

Erikson = Romney cheerleader. No wonder he’s miffed.

[GlockLady]

Bachmann was not a candidate when she participated in the first GOP debate. Most debates will invite potential candidates with over a 5% poll ranking. Palin was invited.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Rick Perry is attending. Sarah is not (yet.) See post 21.

[rintense]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for your trust. But kudos to Dio and Virginia Ridgerunner for revealing Crow's stake in all this.

This bullsh!t is the EXACT thing she will be speaking about tomorrow. And I hope to God she takes some direct shots at the players.

I saw your post but that is not what the original article states.

I'm a Sarah Palin supporter and I'm getting weary of the leftist, Palin-opposed media and would-be Palin primary opponents setting arbitrary dates for Sarah Palin to announce whether or not she is running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, then castigating her for not announcing on their schedule. I'm as anxious as any other Palin supporter for Sarah to declare her candidacy. However, unlike the Washington pundits and some FR posters, I'm not clairvoyant and do not know for a certainty whether Palin will or will not run. I'm also willing to assume that at this point, Palin knows what she is doing. I'm more than willing to allow Sarah Palin to choose her date to announce her candidacy. If she does run, I fully expect that she'll announce before the end of this month, possibly as soon as Saturday (9/3). If she doesn't run, the date she announces that decision won't have a huge impact on the GOP primary race except to energize the candidates to try and secure for themselves primary votes that would have gone to Palin, which would be a whole lot of votes. However, like many, I believe (as well as hope and pray) that Sarah Palin chooses to make the sacrifice for her country and run for the upcoming Republican presidential nomination. We'll all know, soon enough.

That article was published yesterday. This one bears today’s date. All part of the media frenzie, but Governor Palin has a special place in heart for TEA PARTY EXPRESS, so we shall see how this plays out. I pinged Syncro first, hoping he might know for sure.

I am going to Tampa for this debate, so I sure hope she plans to participate.

Heck, I will be thrilled if she’s on hand!

POT / KETTLE = your idiot post is not helpful.

[Lazamataz]

So when? What sort of food is okay for you? Formal or informal? Movie before or after?

[kevkrom]

I absolutely vote on the supporters of a candidate, not the candidate itself. The candidate is completely unimportant in any given race. The important consideration is who supports them.

Does the "hittibleness" of candidates' supports enter into the mix?

[Lazamataz]

You too. Let’s us all go on a group date.

I echo your every word. She will *Go Rogue* when she’s ready. She has the keenest political instincts of anyone I’ve ever seen.

In the interim, she has my prayers and my solid support.

[maica]

Run, Sarah, Run! PLEASE!

You are head and shoulders and all the rest of you, above any of the other candidates. Do not pay attention to what the propaganda press are trying to do to you.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

The dog and pony show of Palin grabbing and gasping for limelight without being a candidate is really getting tiring.

And so the media have you drinking their koolaid. Everytime one of these things happen, it's from some source outside of the Palin camp.

Someone in the media announces that she has decided something and too many people, especially Freepers, just gobble it up like it was Gospel. When she announces something, it is on her Facebook account.

I checked, she has not announced participation in the Sept 12th debate. When she announces it, I will believe it.

Otherwise it is a media dog and pony show just trying to get stupid people to believe it is Sarah Palin's dog and pony show.

Are you coming to Tampa on the 12 of September? I keep pinging you!

Even if Crow is a Perry supporter, and that’s questionable...he could be a covert Gingrich supporter trying to hurt Perry for all we know...but even if he was a perry supporter, that doesn’t mean that perry gave an order to mess up palin.

And, if we blame Perry for a bad supporter, then we have to blame every candidate every time on of their supporters does something out of line. That’s an impossible standard.
