This is good news. She has to get started now if she is serious about campaigning.

Many wealthy conservatives are prepared to support her generously.

We must reverse the damage done by the Obama Administration.

Sarah is Reagan for the 21st Century! (His own son said something similar.)

Yeah...Free Republic...Sarah Palin Country! Thanks Jeff Head.

[Jeff Head]

Progressing. I am walking longer and further without the cane...but still weak in the hip and not ready for prime time (ie. full time). But I have been greatly blessed and can never express adequately my gratitude for all who prayed for us, exercised their faith, helped, encouraged, and in any way showed us such kindness this last year.

Now, I go back every few months for checkup (next in February) and could find at anytime that the cancer is back. But it is in God's hands. I have given it over to Him and will witness for Him and my Savior until He calls me home, whenever that may be.

[Jeff Head]

I don’t know...maybe it is. It’s the first time I have seen it, and it came on as if though it were real time...though I did not see the first 3-4 minutes.

[Jeff Head]

Very good news...and she will excite and rally the base like no other, and with the HUGE dissatisfaction with the marxist Obama, she will bring in the independents too.

I can see it now................................

But I thought I heard Juan Williams say that Sarah isn’t on the same intellect level as Obama. These people would have said the same thing about Margaret Thatcher. All the British pundits had dismissed her as well.

Drill baby Drill....good to see you posting Jeff!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I like Palin...could someone explain to me how she could overcome
1) the negatives she has with independents
2) the MSM just making a carcicature of her and her campaign—it wouldn’t be about her abilities or the issues..it would be a non stop “tina Fey” type media blitz.
3) it would rally the Dem base like nothing else.

I just can’t see past this stuff...I see strong conservatives rallying to her, but beyond that, it is just hard for me to see her get past those issues above.

...Obama must be thrilled.

In May, Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in ALASKA found that just 41% said they would vote for their former governor if she ran for president in 2012. Forty-eight percent (48%) said they would not vote for her. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_state_surveys/alaska/just_41_in_alaska_would_vote_for_palin_for_president

At this point she'd loose her home state. Even Mondale won his home state.

...okay, fire away.

The people are going to drive this one right over every obstacle they try and build.

.. and to the finish line!

They did all those things, and thought all those things, about Reagan. He clobbered them just the same.

The independents came to him, the left rally fizzled, and it was a landslide.

I believe Sarah has the ability to do the same.

[Palladin]

Love it!

[Jeff Head]

They thought and said the same when she ran for Governor...at first they didn't think she had a chance...and yet, she won.

They thought the same about Reagan...and yet he won.

I believe Sarah will win and win big. The left, the media, the establishment are all afraid of her...but she has the ability to connect wth everyday Amerians and I believe that will drive her right along.

We shall see...but I am with her.

[riverrunner]

AS much as I like her I would have a hard time voting for her. If another good solid conservative was running against her.

[Kickass Conservative]

Good to see you Jeff. Thanks for the uplifting post.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She’s as welcome as the springtime.

[Palladin]

How to overcome:

“2) the MSM just making a carcicature of her and her campaign—it wouldn’t be about her abilities or the issues..it would be a non stop “tina Fey” type media blitz.”

Kidnap Tina fey and hold her hostage in a cave in Montana until after Inauguration Day, 2013.

[HiTech RedNeck]

She has an uncanny ability to sell herself with the things she says... and she doesn’t need any stupid teleprompter to do it with, either. Frankly, a ham sandwich would beat Obama in 2016 if it were the Republican nominee — there’s no direction for his opposition to go but up.
