Ed Rollins: ‘It’s never too late for Gov. Palin’ to jump into 2012 race
The Hill ^ | 09/26/ | Alicia Cohen

Posted on 09/26/2011 11:16:41 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper

Republican strategist Ed Rollins on Monday downplayed the latest surge in rumors that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will jump into the race for the Republican presidential nomination, and instead argued in favor of another possible candidate.

Christie “ought to stay running New Jersey,” Rollins said on Fox News’ “Kilmeade and Friends” radio show.

“If I were advising him, I would tell him not to think about [a presidential bid],” Rollins said. “I can’t imagine Gov. Christie spending the next four or five months in the winters of Iowa, traipsing to the places he’s got to go in order to be a viable candidate.”

Rollins, who was Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-Minn.) campaign manager until early this month, said the only rumored presidential candidate he believes still viable is former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

“It’s never too late for Gov. Palin,” Rollins said. “She plays by different rules.”

Well, I guess Halloween is then, in fact, a drop dead deadline, as it were.

It will be an interesting month....

>> “I have absolutely no idea which way she’s going to go, at this point, but it does seem to me (as someone who’d like to see her run) that a final go-no go decision point for a 2012 Presidential run really is coming up in the near future.” <<

.
Were she not running, she would have said so already. She’s no fool, and knows that just fading out would positively end her career.

Thanks for the clarify there.

As I just posted, I guess the waiting game will end on Oct. 31.

I’m almost certain Perry does not want Palin in the race. For similar reasons, Romney very likely does.

Not that I don’t want to believe you, because I do. But we’ve been through several waves of vague rumors here about major announcement from anonymous sources, none of which have proved reliable, so if you can name the source to your rumor, that would be nice.

Nonsense. Getting in the race at this point and trying to win a dozen cable tv debates on various liberal tv networks would be a mistake.

Waiting keeps her from being overexposed.

Actually, she told David Brody that the end of September or October is her timeframe for a decision. So it could be another month before she makes a decision.

If she did say that, then it is a flip flop on her previous statement earlier in the summer. Palin should be careful about criticizing others of changing their minds.

“It’s never too late for Gov. Palin,” Rollins said.

Posted by a Palinwisher. Otherwise what’s the point in posting?
