You forget—the McCain campaign was pretty much anti-Palin all along.

There’s only one thing I’m sure of. SP will definitely “polarize” and “pulverize” the Permanent Political Class. You Betcha!

If you want to be in the game, you must play the cards that life deals you.

I hope so! Maybe Palin would do more good for American politics by staying out of the race and becoming the sort of independent activist suggested by these remarks.

She would make an excellent thorn in the side of Congress and the President by working from the outside.

Is Palin waiting to see if Perry fails before getting in? There isn’t much time. A conservative must defeat Romney.

Yea, just another variant of "She would be much more useful if she wasn't President" crap we have heard ad nauseum from the supporters of other candidates fearful of her entry into the POTUS 2012 race.

The so-called logic employed is amazing in it's lack of logic.

There is no other position on earth like US POTUS for it's ability to set the agenda.

All I smell is fear!

But SHE was PRO-McCain. She even endorsed his senate primary 2 years later.

Palin has calculated she can win as an independent in a three way race.

The (D)s and the (R)s are like Coke and Pepsi. They are happy with their share of the market and though they appear to be in competition, they will work together to keep Dr. Pepper out of the game.

Didn’t say it was a good idea...just might be what she’s contemplating.

You think it would have made sense for Palin to accept the vp spot on the ticket, and then come out against McCain?

You think it would have been a good move to promise McCain she would campaign for him, and then go campaign against him?

If so, think again.

What will she do to raise her negatives to positive? She hasn’t been able to do that over the last few years, unfortunately, so how will entering the campaign suddenly make all those people like her?

Right now, I’m a Perry supporter and I don’t think she will enter the race but I’m not opposed to her becoming a candidate at all. Just think she has too many obstacles.

She made three interlocking points. First, that the United States is now governed by a “permanent political class,” drawn from both parties, that is increasingly cut off from the concerns of regular people. Second, that these Republicans and Democrats have allied with big business to mutual advantage to create what she called “corporate crony capitalism.” Third, that the real political divide in the United States may no longer be between friends and foes of Big Government, but between friends and foes of vast, remote, unaccountable institutions (both public and private).

Few have noticed when I've said these things either, and I've been saying it for years. There's only one person I'll vote for president.

I am going to listen to this speech, because if she said this, she is the first person I have heard that has hit the nail on the head for why we have no jobs!

1) Corporations are outsourcing jobs and bring cheap labor into this country.
2) Corporations are forcing salary people to work 50 - 60 hours a week and only pay for 40. There are no jobs to jump too, because the other corporations are doing the same thing.
3) Corporations survey jobs in your area and since they get together and “agree” not to pay more for a job, the salary does not go up.

Why would corporations hire new workers when the have “free” and very low cost labor? Free Capitalism is the best economy in the world, but we no longer have Free Capitalism in this country. The fix is in and all the rules have shifter to the giant Corporations.

This is all made possible by the politicians who write the laws that allow the corporations to screw their employees. Changing jobs does not help, becuase the other corporations are playing by the same rules.

Another oldie - but I think it also sums up the “shape of things to come” Palin represents....

She publicly supported the TARP bailout.

Was she honestly in favor of it or was she repaying a political favor?

Give me your honest answer.
