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.”

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

I am giving her $1000 on Day One, and I will sign up on her campaign site to have them debit my credit card for $100 a month after that.

She's a lovely young lady trying to do good things with her life.

Your post is cruel.

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

Hate to point this out but it's been 4 years. Sorry...

Be that as it may, I don't think Fred's tardiness had anything to do with his failure. Rather, it was his lack of fire in the belly that turned off voters.

Rove called Perry “unpresidential;” it doesn’t sound like something you’d say if you were for the guy.

Rove is chomping at the bit hoping Mrs. Palin get in, so he can feel relevant again by trashing her. He dreams of being the "loyal opposition" to the Dictators and Czars in DC.

Right, the only organization she has is the entire Tea Party. Who could ever win with that?

He wants her to run and there has been a twinkle in his eye as of late when talking about Palin .
He wants her to split the vote with Perry , thus paving the way for a staunch Rovian style establishment type like Romney or Rove’s other preferred choices of Ryan, Christie ,or Huntsman

Romney and Jeb go way back to 2008 ... Perry is sinking Romney, so now Jeb is trying to get Ryan to run ... these Bushies are “ridin dirty” . Perry truly went Rogue and the Bushies will do anything to stop him .

great timing for Bristol to show off her new tramp stamp. /kidding wouldn’t put it past her though. She’s like Billy Carter isn’t she??

Come on, Geron. You're better than that.

Architect my behind. He managed to turn what should have been two walk off wins into an extra inning affair and a late inning nail biter and in the process left us with NO BENCH and NO CHANCE.

No kidding. After eight years of Clinton, the GOP should have won in a landslide in 2000, but GWB barely squeaked out a win against a tree.

2004, same-same, except this one GWB barely won against a cross-eyed horse.

"If you’re Sarah Palin, you just show up and the money comes and the organization comes and the people come.”

Yup. That's exactly how it's going to work, and it's going to thoroughly piss-off the Republican establishment, to which I say GOOD!
