Then you're part of the problem too, if you refuse to look through the telescope.

Top Republicans in Washington and in the national GOP establishment say the 2010 campaign highlighted an urgent task that they will begin in earnest as soon as the elections are over: Stop Sarah Palin.
Interviews with advisers to the main 2012 presidential contenders and with other veteran Republican operatives make clear they see themselves on a common, if uncoordinated, mission of halting the momentum and credibility Palin gained with conservative activists by plunging so aggressively into this year’s midterm campaigns.
There is rising expectation among GOP elites that Palin will probably run for president in 2012 and could win the Republican nomination, a prospect many of them regard as a disaster in waiting.
(snip)
"There is a determined, focused establishment effort … to find a candidate we can coalesce around who can beat Sarah Palin," said one prominent and longtime Washington Republican. "We believe she could get the nomination, but Barack Obama would crush her."

Palin is unelectable and damaged goods. Press made certain of that. She’s now happily swimming in money and probably gonna release another book on running or Alaska. I don’t blame her one bit.
Never claimed such, do you?
Those who call themselves republicans hated her and thrashed her continuously even on this site and said she would never win.
So, if somebody doesn't agree that Palin will win and rule the world--they aren't true republicans or worthy?
God gives and, if it not received, then He takes away. But He knows the end from the beginning. Look where we are now.
Yep, we're being saved by Palin creating a exercise video!. Oooh rah!
Also, this article is from Politico who trashed her continuously. It shouldn’t be allowed on FR, IMO.
We should NEVER EVER see a negative article. Let us just be Nazi like.
What part don't you get? It wasn't her FIGHT! She fought him for a good 3.5 years and not a peep from your beloved GOP. In fact, the opposite - while she was fighting Barry Benghazi and busy helping conservatives win, they were fighting her. NEVER mess with God's own! See what happened tonight?
OK
Then you're part of the problem too, if you refuse to look through the telescope.
If true, Sarah beat “GOP leaders” to the punch and stopped herself.
We had a weak field, which doesn’t give those who didn’t deign to enter the race a free ride on the outcome.
If Perry’s ‘campaign’ stopped Sarah, she was mightily easy to stop.
Sarah Palin represents social conservatism in the eyes of the GOP-E. They hate socons. They love freepers and ‘conservatives’ who toe the line and vote for whomever they put in front of them.
How’s that goin’ for ya?
Actually, the GOP-E was making peeps---through Politico (the political weapon of choice for losers like Schmidt)----that's my point here.
This is where my comment came from.

And you know this how? At least she would have fought Obama with every last breath, unlike candidate milquetoast.”
pound sand....
TUCSON.
Yep. Perry sure did.
I don’t think she ever had any intention of running.
She’s with the MSM now. She’s lost.
That is your ignorance speaking, you do not remember the too close to the Palin niche that he filled, which would have forced her into having to fight him for the nomination as Romney watched and destroyed all conservative chances. Perry made it impossible for her to join and to win the nomination, and he ruined her position as the only person in America who could take the nomination from Romney. Perry couldn’t replace her, but he could and did, block her from entering.
The establishment has been fighting her since August 2008.
But you got your Romney, so be happy.
Yes you did! By saying she wouldn't have won! So shut your piehole you KNOW diddly squat!
So, if somebody doesn't agree that Palin will win and rule the world--they aren't true republicans or worthy?
Your 'rule the world' comment is dig at Sarah - don't try the sh*t to me or about a KNOWN and PROVEN CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT.
We're being saved by Palin creating a exercise video!. Oooh rah!
Get this - you lost the chance at being saved and all your ilk!
We should NEVER EVER see a negative article. Let us just be Nazi like.
You are so clueless you need to see a negative article to learn something? I see NOW why you are so brained washed! Garbage in, garbage out!
ENJOY what is coming - it was made strictly for your type.
She sure hasn’t been “lost” yet, she had spectacular successes during the primary and then stepped back when the primaries were over, she is more important than ever now, as the leader of conservatism.
Laying low for a few months to let Romney assert himself is hardly permanent.
No, the whole point of their psychological campaign was to convince her not to run and for her supporters to back the GOP-E candidate---Romney.
We'll never know what exactly happened behind the scenes following her September 2011 speech in Iowa at the conclusion of her One Nation tour (when all signs pointed to a run), but I suspect that she got word (probably via McCain or Malek) that the GOP-E would not support her against Obama, even if she swept the primaries and won the nomination, thereby losing before any nascent campaign could start.
It's the GOP-E way---kill its fastest prize filly before she could even get into the gate to run the Kentucky Derby.
Poor Sarah, the big mean boys tricked and thwarted her presidency.
Please. Run that one past Sarah and see what she says.
What is your excuse for her not getting in before Perry?
Run that one past her also.
So you are into mind reading now?
Tell us, did you ever think Romney wouldn't lose? Did you ever think that anti-American, Barry Bengashi, would get another four years to finish America off.
