I so agree on sellout Chambliss. I have detested that man ever since he (and Isakson) teamed up with Kennedy for amnesty in 2006. He’s a sick joke.
“Superb analysis”
Couldn’t agree more...Tony Lee is a bright guy.
If you read Sasrah’s book America by Heart...you will find a lot of her philosophy that fits in with her speech plus she lived it in that she wasn’t a creature of crony capitalism throughout her 20 years in public office ...there’s nothing new in the overall message just some specific points coming out now
...but to your point:...I don't think that it is up to the party these days who gets the nomination....it is up to the people who vote in the primaries, is it not? If Gov Palin runs in the Republican primaries and wins, she would be the Republican candidate whether the "establishment" likes it or not. What are they to do if she wins the primaries?...just give the nomination to Romney?
I would agree with you if we were still stuck with the old convention system where the "delegates" (party hacks) picked the candidates.
Ms Palin is smarter than the average politician...she has the MSM and the party establishment in a constant state of angst.
Both parties and the MSM are formulating polls, sending out hordes of investigators, looking in trash cans, and about any other thing that they can think of to bring her down...but it appears that she gets stronger every day. Every word that she says on Twitter and in her speeches cuts the MSM and party establishment to the bone.
They are absolutely helpless against her.
I think she is running and will operate a campaign like none has been run before.
Excellent. Bring her on into the presidential race :-).
Excellent. Bring her on into the presidential race :-). Oh. I guess she is already there. Just not officially.
Sarah is running.
After spending a long evening with grass roots supporters at The Machine Shed restaurant in Urbandale, IA. on Friday night, she gives the great speech in Indianola on Saturday and spends an hour after the speech working the rope line. I was at both events and the crowd is reflective of Palin’s wide support. Plenty of young 20 -somethings, many minorities, local farmers, families with their children, ex-military, and on and on. It rained hard for most of the rally but nobody left. A very tiring day though.
What does Palin do on Sunday? She runs a half marathon in Storm Lake, IA! Unannounced and with no fanfare, she finishes and mixes with the crowd. They go wild for her.
She is giving another Tea Party speech in New Hampshire on Monday. I have no idea where she gets the energy at age 47.
Now maybe she isn’t going to run but she sure is making a huge splash in certain key States.
Grrr, you're right....it's happening on Wall St.
I think there is another event in October that is supposed to be in DC, I got the two mixed up.
Damn commies all look alike and all that....Especially in a scope ;)
Part of the reason she resigned the Gov position was to pursue big time money making ventures while she was still a hot item in the publics eye. Alaska does not pay much.
Another interesting aspect of Palins “campaign”...is politicians are watching it carefully as well as future candidates.....now why would they bother doing so? Some have stated it’s fasinating and remarkable she has accomplished all she has thus far....and without the standard “walk” most do.
Regardless if Sarah runs or not she has “changed” the political climate in more ways than any other Candidate. If and when she declares....there will no doubt be some frantic moments for her contenders. Even those who oppose her are saying as much.
“It’s time she either....”
Whose time?......Yours???????
Sarah will be a candidate and the Republican nominee in the presidential election cycle at the time of her choosing.
Two thoughts......
She can run her campaign’s strategy without imput from you, me, or any political pundits just fine.
If she couldn’t, how could she possibly become a President worthy of the title? (and her recent speech illustrates that she is worthy)
Sarah Palin will be the next President of the United States.........Accept no substitutes.........
Heh heh so true. Careful though, they'll print your post on MSNBC.
...and some folks question what she's doing as "teasing"...hahahaahahaha...
Interesting is Huntsman is already rebutting her "plan"......pretty amazing the candidates take her seriously regardless of actually formally declaring....the polls list her as a candidate as well....
Makes you wonder who's heads are going to spin most if she does run...or doesn't run...but they will indeed spin on both sides of the aisle either way.
This is an indication of how she is going to announce her candidacy:
She will probably just casually mention it on the local radio talk show in Alaska, just like she promised to the hosts of the morning drive show.
Can you imagine? Just a casual mention on hometown radio and then the Internet and airwaves explode. Brilliant!
The “Drama” is all from people like you who post like this...She will announce (or not) at a time she sees fit. If you can’t trust her to do that...why would you even care if she does?
.... she drew a line to differentiate herself from not only President Barack Obama, but nearly every other GOP presidential candidate,...... most notably Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
And she did so with class and flair!
“As do her action to specifically reference McCain’s Hobbit sneer that officially put the stamp “Paid In Full” on her past association with him.”
Whens he signed on to the Vp run she was requird to agree to support McCain politically for a period of time and to endorse him. This is the usual agreement and is no different than any other politician who runs for VP.
McCain has not held up his end of this contract and the hobbit remark is a signal to him and to the electorate that her end of the contract has been fulfilled to the letter and spirit of the original agreement. The contract is no more.
The analysis is the best I have ever seen and it is a great jumping off point for others.
Run Sarah, Run!
She endorsed him for Governor of Texas. Not President of USA. BIG difference.
If she runs, she’s the POTUS—if not she pleasantly slides into peaceful,tranquil,no more evil attacks on her and her family,obscurity.
She can’t lose either way.
