She changed American politics in 2008, and she could do it even more significantly in 2012, will Governor Palin announce her candidacy for President of the United States? by Mark Vogl

Sunday, December 26, 2010
On "Meet the Press" today, a woman who obviously thought of herself as someone of intellectual might, political savvy and influence, (and someone who I could not identify and to this moment don't know her name,) made a proclamation about the followers of Sarah Palin. This female predictor stated unequivocally that Sarah's followers would NOT vote for her in primaries!
My initial thought was, "Oh please Sarah give me a chance to vote for you!"
I am a past Republican. I won't be voting for a Mitt Romney, or Huckabee, or even Haley Barber. Nope I am done with a Republican Party that could elect nine US Senators who voted for the end of the Military's anti-Gay policies. I am not voting for the Republican Party that could help the Democrats bury our nation in debt, fight wars but not guard our borders.
Now maybe the know-it-all liberal on Meet the Press really believes Sarah can't win a general election, and so by saying we won't vote for Sarah in the primaries she was saying "I dare you..." Well, if that was your intent ..doesn't matter.
You see, with Sarah and with us, you are no longer relevant. The "smart" people, the Ivy Leaguers, the Bushes and the Clintons, and the Obama's, and the McCain's and the rest of you...you are the ones who have brought our nation to the brink of catastrophe. You are the ones who created the huge deficits. You are the ones who have our nation in two wars. And you are the people who have allowed tens of millions of illegals into the nation, and tens of millions of jobs to leave the nation.
No, we really don't care what you think, or what you say.
Sarah give us a chance, just get your name on the ballot...let us do the rest.

Sarah is an interesting case, I have friends that while not clones we agree on most things political, we are otherwise a diverse group and ½ of us would vote for her, the others not. When asked why the nays Sayers have trouble putting it into words. Well you know she said this or she did that.. My sense is that it is in part gender, her association with McCain, leaving office early, massive early negative press, a recalcitrant teenager, it might be her charisma, snake bite syndrome maybe, pick one or all or add a few of you own. One individual was coming around then she endorsed the Admiral for senate, this set her back in his eyes. I think there is a good chance with her new found political clout she suggested to McCain that it might be a good idea for him to act like and not just claim to be a conservative, something has made a difference in him. It also hurt her that the rinos refused to support O’Donnell in Delaware and given the opportunity the mainstream rinos/cinos will never like or support a perceived loose cannon like Sarah, because that is precisely what she is. The establishment can’t trust her because the American people can. If the Tea Party’s hold the new Congress’s feet to the fire, if nullification of national health care progress’s, if the paradigm in Washington shifts in favor of Constitutional conservatives then leadership will shift to the leading conservatives in the country. Sarah will only get rino and cino support if their political survival depends on it. The inscrutable Libertarians? well, they are a mystery.
Maybe more than any other potential candidate in history we have the opportunity to know her the best and rather than being groomed and controlled she wants us to know precisely who she is and where she comes from. The other one that comes to mind is Ronald Reagan. Time will tell, maybe she will have more influence not as a candidate but as a benchmark of morals, Constitutional principals and character for others to live up too..

Everyone keeps asking: Will Sarah run? If I were a bettin' man (and I am) I'd say yes. But when it comes to the question "Will she win?" No, or as the Tea Party so fondly likes to say "Hell No."
I think Sarah is a victim of her own press. Granted, she has media coverage like no other. But is it Presidential? Current polls show her lagging behind the pack. I know, polls are like a**holes, everybody's got one. And we are a long way from Nov. 2012. Any candidate could put out a Macaca gaffe and end their hopes for the White House. Yet while Sarah touts the Tea Party success in taking the House, there is a glaring gap in her resume; the Senate.
Palin endorsed O'Donnell, Angle, Buck, Miller, Rossi, and Fiorina. Except for Fiorina in California (and maybe Rossi in WA), the others should have been guarenteed wins. The biggest blow to her ego show be the lost in Alaska. Now Murkowski sits in a vary enviable position (ps - great "all in" move by Mukowski). To me this just shows that in independent states she doesn't carry much weight.
I hope she runs. She is pure comedy! It will be the most entertaining political season ever.

absolutely absurd paragraph. "smartness" has virtually nothing to do with the progression of historical circumstance.
pinning major societal and cultural changes on a small group of people, whether leaders or otherwise, is hopelessly naive. believing one mentally challenged female politicker will fix everything borders on insane.
