I think Palin will run

[cali]

Here's why: The value of her "brand" diminishes if she doesn't. And I believe that for her it's all about the money. Just think, Palin and Bachman going up against one another. Throw is Cain and Newt and you have a real 3 ring circus.

1. I hope so.

[boomerbust]

2. The entertainment value

Would be priceless.

15. I so looked forward to my daily visit to this site:

http://www.palinaspresident.us/

:rofl:

[ET Awful]

3. Nah, that's not a 3 ring circus, Newt alone has 3 :) n/t

4. I agree.

I think she'll drop out once the heat gets too high. The quitter grifter from Wasilla wins again !

[the other one]

5. She is afraid of unscripted questions,

And she is terrified of being asked about the Giffords shooting.

I think she wont run.

6. Well, that is a bit of a problem, isn't it?

It's a problem for any Republican running for POTUS. Certainly, there are many in the GOP who are articulate and can think on their feet, but none can defend their corporate agenda and policies that screw the majority in favor of a very small minority. In Sarah's case, she's not bright enough to lie deceptively. She reminds me of Bush in this way - both were blessed with huge ego's, but neither have an intellect to match.

7. No. She doesn't have the brains nor the guts.If you can't deal with the press you cant be president.

8. I'm still not sure. Although I think as more GOP candidates

leave the field, the pressure is on her to put up or shut up. But I also think that quitting as Governor of Alaska probably cost her any chance of ever being taken seriously.

10. I'm thinking pawlenty/ romney or someone obscure as vp. n/t

[sufrommich]

13. I think so too. Although that will depress the teabagger/freeper

vote. Whoever they throw out there will not have a good chance of winning and I think they know that.

[Logical]

9. No way! I guarantee it.......

She knows her fellow GOP idiots, who have supported her and tolerated her for the last three years, would turn on her quickly to beat her in the primaries. They will shred her.

And she would lose so much money from her speaking engagements.

No way she will run.

[deacon]

11. When Giffords was shot, she had to cease her violence inciting rhetoric. She has gone downhill

since. She was a one trick pony in many ways that trump was in that, him without the birther gig had nothing else to offer.

[IDemo]

12. Sure she will, just not on the repub ticket

She's the tea guzzlers' darlin'.

14. Barbara Bush revealed what the repub elite think of Palin when she said,

"I wish she'd stay in Alaska."

George Bush was a puppet. Palin is a loose cannon. She'll buck the repub elite just so she can brag to her fans that she bucked the repub elite. She's a maverick after all. Palin may run, but she won't be on the ticket.

However, they will use her to fire up the base & generate lots of anti-Obama hate.

19. Repub elite may now be repub marginalized

The Repub extreme whackos may be ready to nominate someone like Palin.

It would certainly be an interesting four years, dismantling health, education, welfare, building a free-fire zone along the Mexican border.

She'd be a GWB-type prez, taking lots of vacations and leaving the dull, governing-stuff to some rabid veep.

16. Interesting post. There are so many factors involved...I think

1. Is she smart enough to figure that out? (diminishing brand)

2. Say she doesn't run...she'd campaign for the GOP candidate gratis, right? I know she is making
a lot of money speaking now, right? Candidates don't pay for people to speak on their behalf, do
they? So either way, she makes little money for the next year, right?

3. I think for her, it's an ego thing too. Remember, she's a narcissist...so I can see her
dumb ass saying to her family..."My country needs me."

4. On the other hand, maybe she just might have someone smart enough around her that will tell
her O is unbeatable. In that case, she may say...ok, I'll stay out, look like a saint by
supporting the loser, and be in prime position in 2016

5. On the other hand, she was demented enough to instantly believe she had the smarts to be
vice prez...I always thought this was the one defining thing that made her crazy. Normal people would
know they weren't ready/qualified. I always likened this personality flaw to a first year med
student being asked to perform a heart transplant, and responding, "Sure, no problem"

[southernyankeebelle]

17. Yep, then you'll have the hate brought out 3 fold. This country already has enough problems without

bring in the ding bats. Palin will bring the worst out in people.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. good point....to me she single-handedly started the hate the

day after McCain picked her. Ironically, I hate her for that.
