Palin Will Run if No One Else Does
The former half-term governor of Alaska is pondering a WH bid:

In an interview to air tonight on Entertainment Tonight, Sarah Palin said she will run for president in 2012 saying, "if there's nobody else to do it, then of course I would believe that we should do this."

Said Palin: "It's going to entail a discussion with my family a real close look at the lay of the land, to consider whether there are those with that common sense, conservative, pro-Constitution passion, whether there are already candidates out there who can do the job ... or whether there's nobody willing to do it, to make the tough choices and not care what the critics are going to say about you, just going forward according to what I think the priorities should be."

(What a load of shit!)

3. Really? Let's tell her election day is May 2, 2012.
She'll probably believe it.

4. If She Runs The BFEE Will Throw All Their Power Behind Romney To Stop Her
Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 09:32 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
If it appears he can't I suspect Jeb Bush will run and if the economy doesn't improve that spells trouble for us.

8. Who
Edited on Thu Oct-28-10 09:52 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
The field-

Huckabee
Romney
Palin
Palenti
Haley Barbour
Gingrich


I'll take Sarah Palin. I think the only Republican who can stop her and unite all the various factions of the party is Jeb Bush. God help us.

11. She doesn't want to have to try and accomplish anything
with the type of obstructionism Obama has had to deal with. She knows she doesn't have the know how to navigate those type of waters. She will run if she can get everyone to agree with her every time. She wants a dictatorship.

14. She will not run
She'll continue to soak the rubes for all the money she can and then will tell them she simply cannot bear to leave Alaska, her special needs child actually needs some care or some other such bullshit. She will not run.
