Rove on Palin: ‘I think she gets in’
dailycaller.com ^ | 8-20-11 | Alec Jacobs

Karl Rove, a former advisor to President George W. Bush, said on Fox News Saturday morning that he thinks former Alaska Gov. and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will enter the 2012 presidential race around Labor Day.

Palin “has a schedule next week that looks like that of a candidate, not a celebrity,” Rove said, adding that Palin’s campaign-style video released when she traveled to the Iowa State Fair makes it look like she’ll make a run for the White House. (Mark Levin: ‘I believe Sarah Palin will run for president’)

Palin is schedule to speak at a Tea Party of America-sponsored event in Iowa on September 3, which was just moved to a bigger location to host a larger crowd.

“This is her last chance. She either gets in or gets out. I think she gets in,” Rove said.

A late announcement “always raises questions about whether a candidate has the time to raise money, build an organization and meet voters face-to-face,” the Washington Examiner’s Byron York writes.

But Rove addressed that issue on Fox: “[Palin] thinks the normal rules don’t apply. If you’re Sarah Palin, you just show up and the money comes and the organization comes and the people come.”

I do believe you are right. The GOP and the left are going to have a terrible time. She will drag them kicking and screaming back to American fundamentals.

They also are terrified because they have been trying for over four years to find a chink in her armor; anything. So far, she is an American living the American dream and it confounds the media and D.C.

Once she announces, she's getting a piece of every one of my pay checks until she takes office.

Last night on the Jim Lehrer Report, the panel talked about candidates who might still get in the race. There was Rudy and Ryan and Christie but no mention of Palin. Like Lord Voldemort, she is the woman whose name can not be said.

Her announcement will require them to say it and they will be shocked to see what happens. Expect them to go crying to Jeb to save them.

LOL!

I don’t think Sara asks anyone for permission but, I do think they discussed her run as a married couple would.

They respect each other and seem to move as a team.

I just hope she doesn’t wait too long like Fred Thompson did three years ago.

I liked Fred, still do. But I don't think it was the late entry so much as the attitude like HE was doing US a favor. The guy had problems showing that fire in the belly.

What a brillant statement!

Not!

I think Rove will go for Romney, it’s his turn and he’s a RINO.

[Palin] thinks the normal rules don’t apply. If you’re Sarah Palin, you just show up and the money comes and the organization comes and the people come.

Watch it happen, Karl. And when it does, consider what it means when a candidate can do that. It means the rules have changed. Game on.

I really enjoy this blather:

"A late announcement “always raises questions about whether a candidate has the time to raise money, build an organization and meet voters face-to-face,” the Washington Examiner’s Byron York writes. "

Guess what, Yorkie? She already has several national and local grassroots organizations. They are called O4P, C4P, Tea Parties,etc., and they number in multiple millions! As for money, I predict that her funds, within days after her announcement, will add up to more than all the other Repubs combined!

I, for one, am a member of all of these groups, and on THE DAY, I'll send far more than I can really afford. Rove, I hate to add, is right for once.

Fred got in about early September of 07 IIRC. It would not have been too late if he had been a better candidate, he actually took the lead shortly after he entered, then promptly lost it.

I voted for Fred in the 2008 primary in CT, He got 538 votes out of 151,604.

I voted my conscience.

I agree!

She's not only going to kick the Demokratik Socialist Parties A$$, but also GOP establishment POS like Beohner and McConnell! The establishment types like the two mentioned and others are almost as big of threat as the Socialists themselves, because these fools are willing to compromise with evil.

FUJB! FUMM!

“Who cares what Karl Rove and Dana Perino think anymore?”

Dana Perino has a lot of hate for Palin. Perino also has a voice cadence that drives me bonkers, plus she talks so bloody fast can understand nothing she says, as if that matters.

Click the pic the minute she announces. She will raise millions on the first day! Rove be damned.

She knows what she is doing. She is a true leader. Believe me.

I think he is a Romney fan.

If so, that DEFINITELY makes him a RINO!
