Momma Grizzly has been tooling around New England in a bus….a bus wrapped in the Constitution and the flag….no really! Wrapped in the Constitution and the flag…..and the media is clamoring all over her trying to get an answer whether will she or won’t she run for the GOP nomination in 2012…..so far NOTHING!
Journalists chased her from Washington to New Hampshire, where she peed all over Mitt’s run announcement, and still cannot get anything out of her whether she is running or not……but they will not let it go….
Palin is on a paid vacation, paid for by her PAC, by painting her bus with all this patriotic symbolism she appears to be testing the waters for a run….she has with her all the props needed….hubby, kids and vague rhetoric….all the things needed to appear as a serious candidate….but people…..she is on vacation….period!
We have all heard the news of her new stomping ground….a compound worth about $1.7 million in Scottsdale, Arizona…it seems she was too far from the bucks in Alaska……but what is behind such a move? McCain. She plans to run for the senate for Arizona and needs to establish residency.
Why Arizona? Just a few reasons of which there are many….it is a RED state, appeal to the majority, Kyl will not run in 2013 and McCain will most likely end his time in the Senate next cycle, she is looking for a more friendly audience to dazzle, and this will give her time to make more cash and stay in the mind of media mavens….and it is easier to fool a state than 50 of them……just to mention a few. Besides, in Alaska she could not get elected as dog catcher because her popularity is waning….so why not move to a state where the hate for immigrants and Dems is high…just her kind of people.
I am NOT saying she will not run for the nomination only that her thoughts are on other venues other than the presidency….it is all about influence and retaining the celebrity status she has been awarded by the media……she is in it for the long haul…..and the notoriety.
Just a few thoughts.
Now THAT is a very good analysis, methinks. People, particularly on the left, tend to dismiss Palin as a no-hoper. I’ve never thought that was fair or reasonable. If you’re going to be a politician, you have to work with the system, the people, your own abilities and the current climate – it’s head in the clouds stuff doomed to failure to do anything else and to wish that the system was different from what it is – that way you’ll die of old age wondering where you went wrong.
Palin is VERY good at playing to the strengths available to her. 2008 was a VERY good school for her where she could screw up whilst learning and blame it all on others.
My assessment would be: NEVER take your eye off the weapon Palin is holding whilst she smiles sweetly at you and chunters on about all sorts of facile stuff – it could be the last thing you ever do.
Thanx Quin, I think she is trying to do as much damage as possible to Romney….she does not like him….I would guess that Pawlenty would be her choice….a low hanging fruit that she could possibly influence in her way of thinking……
She THINKS? Gee, you do surprise me. Nevertheless, don’t discount her – she is EXACTLY the sort of problem that can sneak up and bite your dodgy political system in the ass!
Well it is a thought process but do not know for sure if it is actually thinking. You are right while I think she is an idiot….I will not underestimate her…..
Arizona is a good pick for her. With all the illegal aliens, and the recent move to keep them out. It fits well for her. To be honest she scares the H out of me. I would really like to see the news media just stop falling her around, for in my opinion she is like a moth seeking the light, and once she finds it does not know what to do with it. So like the moth she keeps circling without any real purpose. Like I said if the news media would just ignore her she would most likely go away, and that my friend would be great.
Morning mglimpse and thanx for commenting hope you will not be a stranger…..the media is afraid to ignore her…she has captured their attention and she plays to them well…..she is a person not to take lightly…..
Exactly so. I sort of agree with mglipse, except that I think she knows PRECISELY what she’s doing and why…
I read the title, and threw up in my mouth a little.
Like mglimpse, I believe AZ is a good fit. She would get crazy support for the immigration and gun issues. Beaglez mentioned something the other day in a reply. She should run for president of the NRA. Talk about a perfect fit.
I guess just covets the title “president” no matter where it is as long as it is associated with her name……
