Sarah Palin will not run. She has been villainized by the media and the Democrats until she has become a cartoon. Many Americans think she is Tina Fey and a fool. Not true—but that’s what most Americans think—or been brainwashed to think. They will vote for Obama rather than the horror they believe her to be. She will sit out the race—support who ever is nominated-—to serve on his cabinate —Once the election is over she will be as forgotten as Dan Quail. She knows this and will not play into the MSM game—to re-elected the failed Obama. For this reason she will not go 3rd party.

Say she runs and wins. Are the Palinistas going refer to her as President Sarah? This idea of calling her Sarah instead of Mrs. Palin or other means of formal address sort of discredits her in my opinion. Just a thought on why she might not be taken too seriously.

I think most people who are insisting that she declare RIGHT NOW are most interested that she lose the nomination.

see tagline.

it is kind of elitists and arrogant to take a pass on the Republican debates. As if you are too good for them.

What debates? You mean the joint press conferences that the Republican candidate have been having? I haven't heard anything from any of them that sounds compelling. Frankly, I'm not interested yet, and I daresay, the majority of American voters aren't either. I'll start giving them a closer look early in 2012, unless Sarah gets in, then I'll be all in.;o)

Apparently she's impressing SOME of the independent voters, because her numbers against Obama have gone up dramatically in the last couple of months. I believe if she declares, and starts an all out campaign, she'll impress a lot more folks.

No one can inspire and fire up people like Sarah.

Except for the hard core left and the parasites (i.e. 28.454% of the populace), people will be seriously searching for someone they believe will truly want to turn us back towards Liberty, and most importantly defeat the Marxist.

The vast majority of people are not focused on politics yet. By the time people start to focus, Sarah will have announced and already be barnstorming across our Republic.

She will easily convince the vast majority of Independents and many other non-conservatives that she ready for the job. She will earn their trust and their vote.

Sarah is preparing her upcoming battles with the elites. She will crush them all.

You raise an important question. Let's see ... a serious Republican whose seriousness, prudence and ability are questioned by few.

I like Ike!

I don't think it discredits her, but I find it both impertinent and impolite. I always refer to her at Mrs. Palin, Gov. Palin, or simply Palin.

Were I to be introduced to her at a political function, I would address her as Gov. Palin. If I had the effrontery to address her as Sarah, the next thing I would expect to see would be Todd Palin's fist going through my face. He can call her Sarah. I can't.

"that would be some trick, to win without running."

Don't worry, after she announces, Perry will be in her rearview mirror.

“How did she do in the Republican debates?”

Better than Mitt and Perry.

Guess what, einstein. She is too good for these benchwarmers. Why should an all star contend with second-stringers for a starting position? Any jock will understand.

Here, you wanna see SP in debate form? Take a look for yourself.

Here is SP going mano-a-mano in national debate!

If you have to watch a debate between a Reagan vs a Mitt or Perry in order to find out who is better, then it’s probably better that you don’t vote.

Sarah’s patience isn’t what counts, its the filing dealines to make Primaries. Miss the filing, no Primary, no Primary no nomination.

So what're you saying--that she might somehow manage to miss some crucial national deadline for running for President? How stupid do you think this woman is? Geez. Fuhgeddit.

the very same people that said it doesn’t matter if Palin jumps in late and misses the debates are now saying that debate performance in the most critical criteria a candidate can have, and since Perry isn’t quite good at it, he can’t win. And yet... it’s perfectly fine with them if Palin skips all the debates.

Interesting observation!

Ronald Reagan had a bad debate night against Carter.

Final point. Some think Palin should get in now after last night. It's unlikely though. Palin does not want to enter the race with Amnesty being the hot issue. If you've ever seen any of her interviews (including one with Vill O'Reilly) she shares many of the same views as Perry on Amnesty (though like McCain she refuses to call it "amnesty".)
