GOP governors meeting this weekend: Sarah Palin is our inevitable 2012 presidential nominee!!

[Politics_Guy25]

So, I was watching the chris matthews show and in his segment "tell me something I don't know", Kathleen Parker, a known GOP shill I grant, said that she has sources attending some type of major GOP governors association meeting this weekend and they are telling her that the vast majority of GOP governors are convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Sarah Palin is running for the presidency in 2012 (the signs are already there in abdundance to them) and that they are also terrified that there's no stopping her for the nomination! Maybe some of them won't even run in 2012 since they think it's a lost cause?

This is very good news for us, as if she is the nominee, she will crash and burn, unless a robot takes over her body and does a complete 180 on her image.

500 EV's anyone for President Obama?

I personally agree. No way does Palin not win the nomination. The GOP base is madly in love with her and who votes in the primaries, the dittoheads of course!

[Clio the Leo]

1. lol, I'd vote for her!!!

In the primaries that is!!!! PLEASE let her try it. Let's see if she and the President can, together, turn ALL of the states blue. lol

2. How can she be head of a Governors association when

she isn't a Governor??

[Politics_Guy25]

5. for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012

Sorry for not making that more clear.

[shraby]

6. Whoops..my bad. I re-read the post and apparently

mis-read it the first time. She will be nominated for a presidential run and not head of the Governors association. I call BS either way.

3. I hate to say this, but that's exactly what I thought about Reagan and Bush II

and then look what happened.

[Politics_Guy25]

8. I agree but the biggest difference is...

President Obama. He ran the best presidential campaign in all of US history, many sources agree. He will be VERY very hard to defeat.

24. under estimating a foe has been the downfall of many

[Nyquil Man]

10. I've had the same thought, but my god...

at least Reagan had some experience as a governor and Bush, well... Bush didn't win the first time around.

[Kdillard]

12. Reagan and Bush had something called charm if you fall for that

sort of thing. Sarah Palin doesn't have it. Perhaps if she listened seriously to the advice of professionals she would minimize the damage that she does when she opens her mouth but she is arrogant and stubborn. Sarah Palin may rally a certain segment of the base but will not get independents or moderates to her side. Plus the GOP has done everything possible to permanently alienate minorities. Sarah Palin may win the nomination but i don't see a way for her to win the White House without that voting block. Seriously nothing will rally the democratic base more than nthe threat of Sarah Palin in the White House. Mention her name and the money and volunteers start pouring in.

18. She has no discernible sense of humor.

Remember her appearance on SNL's election special, when she said she'd pull NBC's FCC license? It's funny on paper... but once Palin got her hands on it, it became simply creepy.

I got the sense with Bush (and Reagan, to a lesser extent) that, given a different, less important job, they would have been rather likable people.

[tibbiit]

21. thats right, at our peril

do we cross her off the list as unelectable.

4. I will work tirelessly

to make sure Sarah Palin is the GOP nominee for President in 2012. I think the blowout for Obama would make the Reagan 84 election look like a squeaker.

7. Awesome! Go Sarah!

Pick Michele Bachman to run with you. Make it an "all girl" ticket. Your campaign slogan can be "girls gone wild".

[NewJeffCT]

9. I'd register as a Republican & vote for her in the primary

I think in CT, you need to change party affiliation at least 6 months before any primary.

Edited to add: Kathleen Parker is not a fan of Sarah Palin, either. She's one of the few in the GOP with enough backbone to criticize Palin.

11. I am not sure why everyone here is so excited about this

unless you've been asleep for three weeks, you probably know that every campaign rally, town hall meeting, local Dem meeting, etc. during the campaign will be terrorized by right wing thugs. And nothing will be done to stop it. I don't really see how we can beat anyone in 2012 when we don't even have the spine to escort terrorists from a meeting.

Unless thing change drastically, and soon, get ready for President Stupid Lying Sportsbabe.

[Island Blue]

13. god, I hope not.

Never underestimate the stupidity of 50.1% of the American voting public at any given time. (Reference 2004 when Americans were fully aware of what bush was capable of.) Also, never underestimate the ability of the right wing to control the voting machines. I shudder to think of that woman anywhere near the Republican nomination.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. Fail..nt

[LiberalFighter]

15. Depending on the state the country is in the GOP may just throw Palin under the bus

knowing they are not going to win no matter who they have as their standard bearer. So who better to be their nominee than her? The voters will see more of her than they care for and show it at the polls. They can then label her as a two time loser as well as quitting as Governor.

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Voting machines.

Black box voting machines.

No paper trail.

[donco6]

17. There is a Repub machine, and she doesn't have the access code.

She could pull it off I suppose, but I sincerely doubt it.

[Clear Blue Sky]

19. Rudy and Hillary were the nominees 4 years ago too...

[WeDidIt]

20. If the economy is in the tank, she wins

Better hope that unemployment turns around quick.

If it doesn't, the recession will take a double dip and no way does Obama win in 2012.

[Cha]

22. Okay...we all know the gop are not known

for their smarts and savvyness. So, to me that automatically makes this false.

I don't want palin to run..she's too sick. Whomever else it is will lose to President Obama.

[Raine1967]

23. I pray not. Not because I think she will win.

But because What I have seen since she entered the national political stage.

Teabaggers and anti health care reform folks jump off at the top of my head. She is the head of the brownshirters if you ask me. That scares me. I am so SO over the racist shite right now. Her nomination would just make more of this hate and race baiting acceptable.

Yes.. we would defeat her -- but at what cost? Series ( :lol: ), at what cost to our country?

[Brother Buzz]

25. If Sarah Palin runs in 2012 it won't be on the republican ticket

Sarah and GOP both know and understand this.

[ronnykmarshall]

26. Yup.

She'll run as an indy.

The GOP powers will never let this dumb fuck be the nominee.
