Bristol Palin told Fox News her mother has made up her mind about running for president, but Sarah Palin told The New York Times she's still thinking about it.
According to the conventional wisdom, it may be too late for her to run. Ms. Palin's done no fundraising, hasn't built a campaign team. Republicans who supported her are drifting to active campaigns, chiefly that of Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.
The conventional wisdom is more conventional than wise. Candidates start early to build name recognition and need a campaign organization to get supporters to the polls.
Sarah Palin has 3.2 million followers on Facebook -- about 800,000 more than all the declared GOP candidates combined. Palinistas tend to be the sort who would crawl over ground glass to vote for her. She has less need of a get-out-the-vote operation than any political figure in modern times.
The Republican National Committee's new rules favor late entrants. There will be more delegates in 2012 than ever before. A higher proportion will come from heavily Republican states. All but a handful will be selected after March 1. In the four February contests, 129 delegates are at stake -- 23 fewer than in Texas alone.
Delegates in the early states must be selected by proportional representation, the RNC says. So whoever wins these contests probably will wind up with fewer than half. After March 1, delegates may be selected on a winner-take-all basis.
The early contests are unlikely to produce a clear frontrunner, but will winnow the field. This is most important for debates. It's stretching the term when seven or eight candidates are on stage. Cut the field to three or four, and debates have real meaning....

If ya use the big plastic 5 gal carboy jugs you can max the amount in one container. ....:o)
Pennies for Palin 2012 !
Me and another poster openly wondered about Mitt doing just that, last night. I wouldn't put it past his slimy campaign to try and influence the CafePress sales stats.
Just a guess though; they probably count individual sales, and not individual items. That sort of puts the kibosh on such a caper.
I have no problems with Herman Cain.In fact, I think he is the man for the job.
Too funny! I have a glass saving jar on my computer desk as well. Once it is filled, I dump it in a strong plastic bag in my closet.
I started using that as a “savings method”.....but it has now become my Sarah bag!
And any singles I do not put into my wallet and just throw into my pocketbook become part of the “bag”!
“Palinistas tend to be the sort who would crawl over ground glass to vote for her.”
Broken for sure!!! In a blinding snowstorm - backwards!!! Oops, not backwards - that’s how flop-ears got selected.
BRING IT ON BIATCHES! If that is ALL they have on her then they are even more pathetic than I believe them to be now.
24,000 emails....expecting to find a sinner, instead found a "Saint", hehehe.
Unless he can get a certain group (which will remain nameless) to buy a lot individually...
Besides, Ubama is more than a Loose Cannon, if all the road blocks are taken away he becomes down right dangerous.
Right you are!
*woot*
I also have repeatedly said I would voter for Palin or I would write her in, I refuse to sell my soul again, voting for the lesser of two evils. This will very likely be my last election, if I even make this one.
You betcha!!!!
And far cheaper than the Roosevelt dimes. :) Lots of puns possible here.
Not only will you make this election, but future ones as well. God blesses those who help themselves and others.
2008, I voted for Sarah.....NOT mclame.
This next election, if Sarah is not on the ballot, I will be writing her name in. If this country wants to go to hell, so be it.
You need to change your screen name. I agree with you.
Oh, and you spelled "grey" wrong.
