From the crystal ball . . .

The next presidential election is only two years away. In November of 2006 John McCain formed a presidential exploratory committee. Look for Palin to do the same thing later this year. As with all primaries, the Republican candidates will take an ideological shift to the right, right into Palin's territory. Moderate party members will be unable to compete with Palin's strong support with the religious and reactionary right. The secondary candidate will, again, be Mitt Romney. His campaign will again fail to establish the support of Republican primary voters.

Palin will ultimately be defeated by the Democrats and Barack Obama when she fails to gain the support of moderate voters from both Republican and Democratic leanings.

From the crystal ball or every liberal's wet dream?

Humm, yes- personally I would like to see Sarah Palin defeated. But "solid," do you think she will win the Republican nomination? Or ultimately the presidency?

If Palin runs, the Democrats win. If she gets the nomination, most halfway intelligent people won't vote for her in the general election because they are afraid of what she will do if elected. If she doesn't get the nomination, the teabaggers will not show up for the general election.

The Republicans could probably win in 2012 if they nominated someone like Romney. But I don't think they will.

Neither. She is the best candidate for Dems to face unless Obama continues his downward spiral. If he keeps sinking, the sock in my drawer with a hole in it could beat him.

Like him or not, Romney is following the Reagan blueprint from '76 to '80. I would not be surprised to see him come out on top of the GOP heap.

Nope. Palin may run, but there's no way she gets the nomination. She's far too toxic. Even Republicans aren't stupid enough to fumble away a chance to beat a weak incumbent by nominating someone who is too terrible to be elected*.

*in some circles** this is referred to as "pulling a Kerry"
**"some circles" == this post

Mark my words, Palin will not run. She is cynically, and I suppose smartly, taking advantage of her ignorant supporters to get rich and famous. She does not care about governing. She knows that if she were to seek the nomination, there is a coterie of GOP insiders that will destroy her to make sure she doesn't get it. They are keeping mostly silent now because she is good for firing up the base and raising money, but if she were to ever get remotely close to securing the nomination there would be metaphorical atom bombs dropped all over the place. For all the idiotic talk from the party elders about what a talent she is, they know she would be a disaster for the Republicans.

If she doesn't run, then she is smarter than I give her credit for. She probably has just under two more years to milk this cash cow. If she comes out and says she's not going to run for POTUS in 2012, she'll be about as popular as Susan Molinari by 2014.

"pulling a Kerry" is certainly a possibility for the Republicans. It really doesn't matter if the party insiders don't want her to win- the Republican nomination is actually a democratic process. If Palin is again savaged by the Republican establishment, she may support an alternate candidate, and bring her base supporters with her . . .

She'll keep being coy about it as long as she can and probably even take some steps to appear she is going to run. She is making tens of thousands per speech, millions from the book, and god knows what from Faux News--she doesn't need to milk it long.

I don't care who runs as I'm voting United States Pirate Party from now on.

I didn't know this but she's already started a political action committee- and is soliciting donations-
http://www.sarahpac.com/

FAQ from the website:

What is SarahPac?

SarahPac is a federally registered political action committee that supports Gov. Sarah Palin's plans to build a better, stronger, and safer America in the 21st century.

How will contributions be spent?

Your support of SarahPac will make it possible for Gov. Palin to continue to be a strong voice for energy independence and reform. By supporting SarahPac, you will allow Gov. Palin to help find and create solutions for America's most pressing problems; priority number one is building a strong and prosperous economy that recognizes hard work, innovation and integrity by rewarding small businesses and hard working American families. SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country.

They are grooming her to be the next George W. Bush.

I would love to see an audit of SarahPAC in about a year to see what she's been spending money on. Bet you a lot of it wouldn't qualify under normal PAC rules.

Palin won't get the nomination if she runs, although in 2012 she'll be much better prepared.

Based on ARRA funds holding things up artificially for the next one or two years, the economy will still be struggling in 2012. Obama will have a rough go if the Republicans don't veer too far to the right.

1994 Contract with America, part two.

Actually, 2010 Contract with my boyfriend's crevace, part one.

"going Rouge" was the title of her book. It was a reference made to and about her by the Republican party leaders. She went "off message" and for this they will never forgive her. Trust me on this. She will not get the 2012 nomination and if she somehow tries to run, well remember what happened to the last "popular" Republican candidate who bucked horns with the RNC? Pat Buchannen. Remember Pat won Iowa and scared alot of people. The RNC took care of Pat real quick.

Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.

Nah, she's not going to run. But I sure hope it's not Romney. I don't like him. Unfortunately, Ron Paul isn't going to run again, but I'd like to see someone like him run. I don't really care what party at this point -- just want someone who is in the middle like me. No effing socialists, and no scary, right wing religious nuts.

What a delusional statement that is. Sorry, the Democrats were not showing much love when they were pissing over the super-delegates. That last election was anything but a love fest for Democrats.

You are mistaking the move independent voters made to help Obama win for some kind of Democrats who were in love. The Democrats fell in LINE - the Independents got fucked by Obama. If they had been toting guns I am sure there were moments before the election where Hillary supporters and Obama supporters could have had their "OK Corral" moment. As it was I am sure there were some VERY evil thoughts that had little to do with love.

Palin's going to be on TV everyday talking about politics. It's almost a no-brainer that she's going to say some dumb, controversial shit-- stuff that either party will use to destroy her viability as a candidate.

If she is on the ticket then my crystal ball predicts that they will lose again. No matter who is against her, she CAN NOT WIN. When will they just accept this and find someone that has a chance.

my question is will they get someone to work on her god awful accent. She be doable if you taped over her mouth with duct tape to shut her up.

If Palin gets the nomination it will be hilarious. If she for some reason wins the election, which is highly unlikely but entirely possible, I'll expatriate to a 3rd world country where shit makes sense, the whores are cheap and the food & liquor are even cheaper.

No matter what you Libs and Lib sympathizers say, your Teleprompter-Messiah pales(ha) in comparison to Palin.
I know if Palin was a woman of another ethnic backround, would you pansy-fucks mock her and pick on the little stupid things she says and how she conducts her family life.

Being that your last choice was a failure, I thinks she deserves the position of POTUS, just to spite you shitheads that ate all that garbage the media fed you everyday and went out and voted with your RACE-cards.

She should be Secretary of Energy if a Republican wins in 2012.

Not that I would vote for Palin, but as usual - this is nothing new.

Why would she want to run for president? She can make more and be more influential as a spin doctor on Fox.

Get her hooked on prescription painkillers, and she could easily be the next voice of the GOP.

Agree. I think she'll become the next 'Pat Buchanan' figure in America.

Republicans are setting up Palin to be a candidate in case Hillary Clinton runs. If you can capture every woman's vote in America you have a sure win. The first black president, next the first woman. You know it's coming...

Look for Palin to make a trip to Haiti and around the World soon.

You're right--nothing new. It's just Beck making more stuff up. He's saying with a straight face that nobody has called Coakley stupid for the gaffes she's made. I'm sorry, but she has been crucified for the things she's said. God, Republicans are such whiners. Always the victim. When Brit Hume is criticized for saying an idiotic thing, it's just because he's a Christian. Same with Carrie Prejean. With Palin it's because she's pro-life. Could it just be, maybe, that Palin is criticized for the stupid things she says just because they are stupid things to say?

LOL. I know you didn't say that with a straight face! The whole Bush was selected not elected whine that stuck with Dems for eight years. Then again the whole Republicans steal elections whine in 2004. Followed by the you are lying about what is in the bill whine and it is ALL George Bush's fault, not Obama's fault whine or the Republicans don't have any health care ideas (not that we would let them in the room to dicuss them) whine. For fucks' sake, the whole rise to Democratic power wasn't about their ideas, it was about whining about George Bush. Half the people on this board still whine about him. Now that the Dems are in power, they are still whining, but they need to learn how to govern.

As a Republican, I whine all the time. It's because my boyfriend Francis left me for a rock climber. I thought I could keep it in the closet, but to no avail.

I also wish my party was in power. I think I'll whine about that now.

Imposter poser. your mom didn't seem to think so when I had my jizz dripping from her chin. The only thing she whines about is wanting to see me more so she can get off on my cock. Oh yeah, she is disappointed in your scat homo lifestyle and said she deserves a son like you for making it with a bi dem all those years ago. She knew you'd turn out queer when you would rather fake breastfeed your sister's dolls than play with your toys. She's happy now she found a nice straight GOP cock to keep her happy.

People were excited about Jesse Ventura, too, when he was elected governor of Minnesota. But as we saw afterward, he didn't have whatever the "IT" is to be a successful "Pat Buchanan"-type on TV. I have a feeling Palin doesn't, either. I think once you get past her looks, her fake life story and her "aw shucks" appeal, she really has so little depth to draw from that she will begin to wear thin night after night on TV.

It has begun:

Bush apparently lost his respect for John McCain when he discovered that he had picked Palin as his running mate, and lays the blame for the Republicans' defeat in the 2008 election squarely at her door.

Top Republicans in Washington and in the national GOP establishment say the 2010 campaign highlighted an urgent task that they will begin in earnest as soon as the elections are over: Stop Sarah Palin.

Interviews with advisers to the main 2012 presidential contenders and with other veteran Republican operatives make clear they see themselves on a common, if uncoordinated, mission of halting the momentum and credibility Palin gained with conservative activists by plunging so aggressively into this year’s midterm campaigns
