Is Sarah Palin gunning for 2012?

[Nonno]

Sarah Palin was a virtual unknown, even in the US, when John McCain picked her as his vice-presidential running mate in August 2008.

But after parting ways with McCain, Palin has since become the standard bearer of the Republican Party and the conservative right in the United States.

Her opinions are sought after by a highly respected broadcast news organization.

Her family life is the subject of much fascination. There have been rumors her daughter and future son-in-law could feature in a reality TV show.

With her rising political profile, Sarah Palin has waded into New York City politics and in the process, invented new words. She compares herself to William Shakespeare.

She has used her popularity to raise US$1.3 million so far this year for her political action committee, SarahPAC.

This fund-raising largess has raised speculation that Sarah Palin could be preparing to run against President Barack Obama in 2012.

If she wins, that would indicate the American people have "refudiated" Barack Obama and chosen conservative values.

Maybe THIS is why the Mayan calendar ends on 2012?

And that just scares you witless, doesn't it, dummy?

That was a rhetorical question.

[theHypocrite]

i think she should run

considering the lack of good entertainment TV, we need some humor and new malaprops

[edinsomd]

Cool. First we ban teleprompters and watch Obama flail. And WTF is a "malaprop"? You mean "malapropism"? Idiot.

I don't see the United States electing someone with so very little experience and such a very very thin resume.





Ok, that was funny.

Don't all the opinion/popularity polls show that now?

I really hope she does run in 2012. I see her as a real person [not a professional politician] who shares my values in regards to what this Country should be concerned with and where it should be heading.
I do not rely on media reports of her, I've read her book, i like what she says in public and interviews.
The fact that the Obama Democratic Media attack every thing she says and does only shows that they are concerned about her followers.
She also reminds me of anyone of our Founding Fathers, She was not a Politician, stepped up to local politics to correct policies she believed were wrong. It was the people of Alaska who liked and eventually elevated her to Governor.
I'd like to see the 2012 Ticket as Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin.

I don't care if she runs. I won't be voting for her. I have nothing against her. I just have seen what happens when someone with little experience tries to run the country. They end up being managed by a confederacy of nitwits.

We need considerably more than someone with a "vision" or who shares the right views. What we need is someone who's shown they can do the job. I don't want someone "just like me". I want Superman.

I frequently make reference to the David and Goliath story from an angle that isn't often told. Sure, David was full of faith and believed Goliath was an enemy of God and needed to be dealt with, and boldly stepped up to the plate even though he'd never been in battle and as the king advised him, Goliath had been a solider all his life.

But what is often missed in the story is that David tells him, I've already killed lions and bears by myself. I've killed animals twice his size without any help. It wasn't until THEN the king was willing to put his faith in an otherwise untested boy. He HAD proven - and relevant - experience. He'd DONE it before.

I am HOPING that Sarah serves as a lightning rod, a red herring, to draw fire while the GOP preps a few really good candidates. If the country can ever get over their knee-jerk dislike of Gingrich, he'd make a great President, but I just don't see it.
