My guess on the wait would probably be that Palin already has the name recognition, has a couple books out, so immediately upon entry, she'd be an instant contender so why the rush? Also, she might be waiting for the current field to settle out a little and maybe she was hoping more would have dropped out of the race by now besides just Pawlenty.

This was a good article thanks for posting.

Another theory I saw on another thread concerned the "book" that McSlimeus is releasing...she wanted it to come out when she was a non-candidate, get it discredited and out of the way. IF it had come out when she was a candidate it would have been the first "subject" of her campaign and would have been taken much more seriously by the press. Strategery.

She missed two Presidential debates...That in itself is not very presidential.

She missed two primary debates, she won’t miss
the Presidential ones. She’ll win those.

Not only that she has already been vetted. Everybody that thinks she has waited too long is really fooling themselves. The minute she declares I have set aside $1,000 to send to SarahPac with monthly follow up at some level.

I know at least 10-20 others that feel the same way. So, if in my little world we do the math and multiply it out to the four million of her Facebook followers, Palin will explode on the scene immediately.

We want to once again invite her to the picnic in Southern Utah in July. We hope Jim Robinson can make it as well.
She is for real...

Believe me FRiends!

Your info may be incorrect!

nattering nabobs of negativism,

Penned by speechwriter William Safire, the "nattering nabobs of negativity" was the phrase used by former Vice President, Spiro Agnew, to refer to the "liberal" media. Agnew had reason to discourage press scrutiny: not only was he in the Nixon administration, but he would later be convicted of tax evasion and money laundering in connection to bribes he took as governor of Maryland.

Ironically, the "nattering nabobs of negativity" more appropriately describes Nixon's vice president and his political progeny. Agnew's brand of rhetoric was shrill and aggressive. He questioned the patriotism of any who opposed the Nixon administration's Vietnam policy. He constantly and consistently defined GOP enemies as "communists" and "hippies" and saved his harshest words for those that opposed the war. In short, he was a pioneer of the rhetoric that the Republican Party and their conservative allies perfected in the 1990s through talk radio and the 1994 campaign, rhetoric that would later permeate all things conservative. Rhetoric that was bitter, fantastic, and divisive. ...

I remember reading an article at the time of the speech which claimed that a little know woman from Baltimore was the originator of a number of these phrases. I do not believe she wrote speeches but was a clever wordsmith. Cannot remember who she was. The historical record is, I think, inaccurate.

I hope you are enjoying rubbing mine and others noses in your scatology because it will be my extreme pleasure to reciprocate.

I don’t really understand some of you guys...

Obviously, LOL!

It’s more than the POTUS that is at stake, think judges

Same old argument. Look at the court now. It's also why the conservative movement needs to have the foundation of local and state government. The power flows up.

Also, 4 more years of zer0 and the entire middle east will be run by the radicals. It’s just about there now.

Yup. So let's reach across the aisle, negoitate and work with them instead of standing up to them.

Getting most of your agenda through is better than zero percent.

Most? How about RINOs tossing me a bone and telling me to sit down and shut up? No more!

I see you argue as well as the rest of your ilk.

Anyone who uses political calculus that ends up with a different result than yours is guilty of “scatology.”

You can’t argue the conclusion so you just fling poo like a chimpanzee.

Why? She can’t use SarahPac money in her campaign (should one actually occur).

OMG...Then I’ll have to give her the cash in person I guess. I wonder if Obambi might be able to help me figure out how to do that... That dumb bastard knows all the angles. Maybe you do too?

She missed debates that were moderated by left-wing media outlets (MSNBC/Politico/CNN). I think that's pretty smart. As for the Republicans that allowed themselves to be used as tools, what were they thinking?

Can you imagine FoxNews or Free Republic moderating a Democratic debate?

Well, isn't "communists" and "hippies" exactly who they were?

After all, we do have the Venona Intercepts to prove exactly who was recruiting for and directing the anti-war movement.

Hey, it was your statement. Sorry if I pointed out your error. You True Believers / Worshippers seem to have a problem with that sort of thing...

I wouldn't vote for Palin now if you paid me.

I will! The minute she steps up she has my undivided and inalienable support. I want my country back. Perry is, in my opinion, second best. The rest of the field, while well meaning, trail far behind in terms of putting us back on our feet as a country. We've had all the second best we can take and still survive.
