Got it!
I asked earlier…isn’t it getting VERY close to the time where speculation has to stop…and everyone has to “show their cards” in order to get their organization in place for a 2012 run?

Yeah, there will be republicans declaring as early as January or February of 11’. It used to be a one year process which gradually edged up every four years. Now it’s close to a two year process.
Palin wouldn’t win a single primary anywhere.
I don’t see any talk of Lt. Colonel Allen West. Anybody know if he’s planning on running? I’ve only seen short videos and listened to sound bites on his political views. Could he contend if he runs?

You are not thinking correctly here my friend. While the general populace may not vote for her (after the major liberal media trashing) the far right/left vote in primaries. The really staunch conservatives in the republican primaries, and the really liberal in the democratic primaries. That’s why the general axiom (for republicans) is to move to the right for the primaries and then back to the center for the general election. And hope you didn’t have to say anything during the primaries that you cannot gingerly step away from in the general. Both sides operate this way.
Sarah Palin most assuredly would win some primaries and finish very high in others if she were to run a smart campaign. It is my wish that she not run and simply be available to run up the crowd totals for whomever the nominee may be.

I’ll tell you what ZEB. IF she runs, and IF she wins ANY primary as a presidential candidate for the GOP, I’ll leave this forum and never come back. But if she fails to win any primary, you must leave and never come back. Deal?

Thanks DB you always bring a lot to these forums. First of all I don’t want you to leave the forum. And secondly if I was wrong I wouldn’t want to leave the forum. If I left it would make too many atheists, leftists and homosexuals happy. And secondly I would get a lot more actual work done, oh wait that’s a good thing huh?

Well, let’s place some other sort of wager on this then. You name the terms, but think big here. When I win, I don’t want my only prize to be the end of Palin’s political career.

Palin would absolutely win at least one primary and finish high in many others. As I told you in the republican primaries the conservatives vote and in the democratic primaries the lefty’s vote. There is no question that she has the Tea Party’s ear and they will vote in droves.
I’m game for just about any other sort of bet you’d like to offer up. Of course we might want to wait until she actually announces (and I certainly hope she dosen’t). As I stated Obama will crush her. It’s going to take a powerful candidate to beat Obama plus the mainstream liberal media. I know McCain/Palin couldn’t do it. And I also can predict that Palin/Anyone can’t do it.
How about a steak dinner what part of the country do you live in?

Steak dinner? You’re on. I live in Butte County, north of Sacramento. If Palin does run, one of us will be buying the other dinner, so let’s at least try to remain civil toward each other until then.
lol. If she runs, DB will be buying steak I think.
She’s a lightning rod. Her role, if she runs, will be to gather all the negative media onto herself while the real nominee skates through relatively untouched. Then it’s an easy win over whoever replaces Obama as the Dem nominee.

Kinda like when my buddy falls on the grenade and takes on the fattest bitch at the club. What a wingman he was…

You’re going to fly, drive or take a train across the country to buy me a steak dinner? Gotta find another way to bet man. I won’t drive 25 miles for a good steak much less all the way to CA.

You don’t really believe that someone will replace Obama as the democratic nominee do you? Check out Ted Kennedy’s efforts to replace Jimmy Carter at the top of the democratic ticket in 1980. I’m not saying it can’t be done and I certainly hope someone tries but it is near impossible to beat a sitting President in enough primaries.

Okay, how about this? I win, and no mention ever again of the mythical liberal media. You win, and I will concede that point to you, along with any argument you make that follows from the premise that the media is liberal. But if I win, you must concede any argument that springs forth from the premise that the media is at least as conservative as it is liberal. Deal? Internet shake on it?
