Palin Not Running for President
This is not yet official. At this point it is just my opinion. However, I think Sarah Palin will do the same thing that Donald Trump did; announce she is not running.

I watched the beginning of Cenk Ugyar's show on MSNBC and he memtioned that Palin seemed to be considering running for President in 2012. I think it is possible that Palin is more of a media/attention hog than Donald Trump. All her talk about how she is considering running for President is just bs. In my opinion, if she really wanted to run she would have announced already. In reality she is just trying to get as much attention as she can.

1. I've never thought she would, but she will not announce anything
for as long as it is "financially" possible, since once she does, her marketability goes down the crapper (where she belongs, frankly).

2. she IS running


Pollster Ivan Moore says in Anchorage Press that it’s “Palin’s Perfect Storm.”

"Us pollsters don’t like making predictions. No really… we don’t. We can measure things at any given point in time, but we can’t, no matter how much others may want us to, see into the future. Today, however, I’m going to make an exception, because I’m absolutely certain of what I’m going to predict.

No ands, ifs or buts about it, Sarah Palin is going to run for president."

My opinion - it will NOT be funny. She will bring out the most vile and dangerous of our populace.

3. I think she will run also, BUT
I think she will run on a 3rd party TEAPARTY platform. The media will give her free airtime...; all she wants, and all she needs to do is to have her name on all the ballots.

Between her and Ron Paul, the boring old republican candidate will have a hard time getting enough votesrto matter

15. She will not do that.
The Tea Party Terrorists are the activist wing of the GOP and the GOP are now the political mouth piece of the Tea Party Terrorists. They will not speak ill of each other after the Primaries.

4. Even if she runs
It will be with the knowledge that she doesn't have a chance in hell, which is perfect for her because she doesn't WANT to be President. She didn't even want to be VP.

Does anyone honestly believe she wants to leave her life to be in the spotlight as President and deal with running the entire country? The woman couldn't even finish her governorship in ALASKA.

She does not want the responsibility; she doesn't want the media all over her; she doesn't want to have to pay attention to approval ratings every week and all the rest of it. A campaign would be strictly to keep herself relevant and keep getting offers to babble to Tea Party fuckheads for 50 grand an appearance.

16. 100,000...she gets 100,000... and I think she might run too
because she doesn't give a f*ck about what people think and she'll do what she wants...and she knows she will make a personal fortune if she runs.

5. Palin's ego is far too big...
Not to run. Even though, She's been stomped down farther than Donald Trump, (after Obama Roasted him) she fails to acknowledge that people just don't like her enough to put her in the White House. Even if she bought a clue.. she would never believe it. It just would not register.

6. Yep, she would have started fundraising as soon as she could...
I wonder how many big money backers she could get... to waste their money.

7. Anyone that says she won't run is using a
"blood libel" on her. Shame, shame.

8. The Half-Term governor will run...
a half-Assed candidacy for half the campaign until her income is cut in half. Then she will blame the Lame Stream Media for her poor polling and then she will quit.

10. Don't ya think she already sold the reality show rights to someone?

At this point I think she may be contractually obligated to run

12. I think she will continue to not state as long as possible
because there is at this point no reason to say she is or isn't. If she is polling well in Iowa later this year it is hard to believe ego wise she won't take a chance at a 3-4 month money run through a failed attempt.

AuthorJoe McGinniss " Sarah Palin will announce her run for President on 9/11."

http://www.joemcginniss.net/th...

He also explained in a comment that he received this information from a knowledgeable source.

This is from the best selling author who lived in Wasilla while researching his soon-to-be released book "The Rogue."
