CNN

[...] the 2012 election.  Not wanting to leave the fire unfueled, Palin says that she just might "plow through" any open door when the time [...]

Mrs. Palin.....Did you congratulate Mr. Obama YET??????????

LOL id vote for the chick playing her in that porno movie before id ever consider giving this joke a vote.

why would the republicans nominate her unless they wanted to lose? she is immensely unpopular

Remember 4 years is a long time away. Who knows what could happen by then.

But, if the Republican ticket happens to be Palin, I think that is the best news for Obama. Let's not put Mitt Romney or Ron Paul on the ticket (two people who know what they are talking about & would be more difficult to defeat) let's put Sarah Palin on the ticket. Obama would beat her in a landslide!

What's even more frightening is the fact that 64% of Republicans said she was the one in 2012. I can now see why Republicans lost the election. Not a smart bunch of folks, if you ask me. Even Palin said she was shocked to see people actually voting for the Republican ticket after Bush's disasterous 8 years in office. Even Palin is calling her voters out on their stupidity.

It's scary to see that there are sooo many stupid people out there!!

Hearing she is considering a run in '12 is like waiting for the results of your cancer screening. It's like getting divorced and waiting to see if your ex is going to fight for custody.
It's a scary black cloud that is looming over your head.... the thought that she could run for President, and possibly win!
That is very frightening.
I thought this nightmare threat of her running was over. Why won't she go away ?????????

GOD HELP US ALL!!! Does she really think she even has a chance?!?! She obviously thinks she does, proving yet again what an idiot she is. If she were smart, she's stay away from the media and retreat into woods, never to be heard from again. She's keeps digging her poilitcal grave with every word that escapes her mouth!

She has made herself President of Alaska.Right wingnut jobs welcome.

If this is the best the Repubs can do then... by all means... Go For It !

Why are you guys still giving her air time? For Ratings? Please spare the public her hidious voice!

Sarah is a witch and she will not stop until she gets her way! She is such a liar, John McCain said on Letterman that "He screwed up" and he was talking about his choice of VEEP!

America, watch out, dictatorship is coming under Obama!

Please stop talking about her. Either that, or highlight the fact that the Secret Service reports threats of violence towards Obama increased when she began her rogue "pallin around with terrorist" cry. She does not deserve respect or sympathy. She deserves censure.

I hope she does run. Before her, SNL was getting pretty dry.

Paaaaaaaaaaalinnnnnnn Paaaaalinnnn paaalinnn paalinn palin, relax slowly close your eyes, just imagine you are the president of African country, oh no no sorry president of America. 1, 2, 3, ...........................................10.

Time is up please open your eyes slowly. Do you feel better. Please send my consulting fee of $1Mil. Next time you visit my office i will make you president of Alaska country. hehe

why didn't they include the word "god" with the interview? She said that she was praying to god about this, not just saying it out in the open.

So tired of hearing this double standard. Why can't she be a working mom? No one gives Michele Obama a hard time over it – she is praised for it. In fact, Mrs. Obama is on record as saying that one of her initiatives is to help working moms.

If Palin were a man, she wouldn't be receiving half the criticism she gets. To be fair, I also don't believe she would have been pick for VP nominee if she were a man because she lacks experience. But that is a different issue. It one thing to disagree with political views or to dislike a candidate for things they say – comment about that. But to focus only the "mom" aspect, or her "place as a woman" is purely sexist and ignorant.

Palin is not qualified to be a governor. Why any true american would try to get her to run as a VP or President is beyond ridickulus.
What is wrong with people, we already had a dumb president that ruined the country. Does someone want our country taken over? Stupidity to the max

The more she talks the less likely this will be.

Her 15 minutes are FOREVER over.

If she "plows right through there", I think I'll just go get plowed myself. What an incredible dope.

Come on. Why is every organization rushing to interview this woman? She is such a lightweight. She's done.

Washington Observer: Your constant reference of Obama being the Messiah is getting a bit tiresome; your obvious, and I believe false hope, that Obama may fail indicates a total and pathetic lack of concern for your country. This bizarre desire for elections without end reflected by some on this post is what got us into this partisan, gridlocked gov't.

Any thinking person looking at the crisises this country has and thinks a man of 72 who ran a confused, rudderless campaign and a woman devoid of curiosity and knowledge would be able to solve these national and global problems is not looking at reality.

I like it when someone with nothing to offer and plenty to laugh at runs for the opponent.

NO NO NO!!! She is soooo uneducated and apparentely does NOT believe in education as all her children are high school drop outs!!!!
I just can NOT watch that women talk with her "valley" girl type accent and she makes NO sense what she says–words but NO substance.

She really is showing her 85 IQ level...she cannot and would not win a NATIONAL election...

I hope she does run! She will be great for the party and great for the country. In what I have seen of her since the election's end, I have realized that McCain was holding her back.
She was cleared of all wrong doing (in 2 different investigations) on the Troopergate scandal – for all you left wing nuts, this means she did nothing wrong.
The fact that she is religious and pro-life is admirable. It is already making me sick to my stomach the Executive orders Obama plans to repeal with regard to abortion and embryonic stem cell research!
If Obama continues on this route, she has a legitimate chance.

If she ran, that'd be 2 elections that the Dems sweep. I say she should go for that 2012 run! You go, Sarah Palin!

(OBAMA '12!)

Geeze !!!!!! Say it ain`t so, Joe !!!! Go away Sarah ---shoot a moose, skin a buck, look at Russia thru your window. You just love the" beauty contest" atmosphere and, by golly, all that stuff that comes with it, you know !!!!!

If she does, and if she wins GOD HELP US!!!! People are so wrapped up in this woman because she's attractive and they see her as more of a superstar than a political figure. People need to wake up!

Sarah Palin is the reason that the McCain campaign had any life at all. I just never hope I see the day that a socialist is elected president of the United States of America. Oh wait....
Silly little libs....

PALIN- GO FOR IT! YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!!!

Like this is a surprise?

She didn't do enough damage she wants to try for some more.

Golly gee whiz Sarah , why don't get all Mavericky, and go back home and watch for Russians. Maybe visit a library and check out a few books.....

1. Dinosaurs: No, they weren't here 4000 years ago.
2. NAFTA for Dummies
3. Continents of the World
4. The Bush Doctrine
5. How to Answer Questions Directly in Less Than 10 Words.

As you can see, there is a LOT to keep you occupied until 2012 and beyond. Please, your 10 minutes of fame are just about up....tick tock tick tock.....

Sarah, if you get anywhere near the republican party in 2012 I will quit the republican party and go independent. We dont need any more hate rallys like you had and the bashing that you did. Even the newspaper in Alaska said that . You with the hate rallys was the cause of the threats made on Obamas life. And I cant believe that you are proud of the way you conducted your self. And the fact that you didnt know the VP does not give concession speech. I think you Should take Ted Stevens place up there you two make a good pair.

Palin's "bid" for 2012 is GOOD NEWS for the GOP!

Please, Sarah, please, run for the President in 2012, because Obama will pull off an easy win for his second term. Please run, sarah, run.

to washington observer&tom in deleware, you need to give "OUR NEW PRESIDENT" a chonce before you PUT HIM DOWN ... after 8 years of this administration, we all own him that !!!!! or ARE YOU AFRAID HE WILL DO GOOD , and you couldnt STAND THAT ??????? WE ARE "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" remember ????

Seriously,

Does anyone here honestly believe that she could get 50% of the popular vote? Granted, she has captured the love and imagination of some people - even some family members of mine. For what reason is beyond my comprehension, but it is there.

But is she popular with at least 50% of the people? I don't think so. She is a divisive and from what I have seen in her campaigning very hateful person.

I say Reps. would be smartest to go with Crist/Jindal (or Crist/Leibberman if he chooses to endore THEM again ) and save Palin for a 2016 run.

Go ahead and run...Sarah...go for it....but keep in mind...being the President of the United States is an "opporuinity"...

so go for it so that we can watch you lose...

'that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me'

isn't suppose to be other way.. Nation first State and then my family and me.

One can get her Way of thinking... which is oposit GOP slogan "' Country first.. but her's seems like self first and country last...:)

Wow, you folks are an angry lot. Palin gets things done and has a record to back it up. Obama can no longer vote present.

Did you hear Obama's responses during his press conference? When asked if he'll still raise taxes on the rich, he ducked the question and started talking about 95% blah, blah, blah. He acts like he's still campaigning when things he says now really matter. I hope, for the good of myself, my family and my country that he succeeds, but I feel like he hoodwinked a lot of you.

Yeah, go for it. Become the demise of the GOP. Perhaps it's you that's the antichrist for 2012.

We need not worry about Gov. Palin. She still has to explain how she and hubby managed to build a house at the same time a stadium was being built in the town where she was mayor. The investigations are only just beginning. By the time her republican enimies are through with her she'll be lucky if she is not in the Federal Pen by 2012. Oh Sarah here is a lesson you should learn....Never pee on the plate the eat from. The same people who built you up will be first in line to tear you down.

She still cannot construct a concise, intellectual sentence on her own and now she has no advisors to blame. How this woman got this far on simply being religious and conservative is beyond me.

I say run! If it is possible for Obama to get elected, I think she can. I think next time around, she will be more prepared for the media onslaught. And if the economy is still bad in 3 or 4 years, she will probably have a good chance.

She just has to realize, every little rumor and nonsense is going to be reported as news. When Obama claims there are 57 states in the union, that is glossed over.

I think the liberal media and pundits made a crucial mistake this time around – - they spent all of their ammunition and tried to declare Palin dead. In four years, they will be spending time and effort propping up Obama and will have less time to focus on knocking out Palin.

It's nice to know that the Liberal Left lives in terror of this woman...fills me with pride.

YES PLEASE!!! JUST ANOTHER REASON TO PUT OBAMA BACK IN OFFICE!!! LMBO

I love the way CNN left out the opening part of her quote:

"Faith is a very big part of my life. And putting my life in my creator's hands – this is what I always do. I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door."

Not that ther's anything wrong with her belief, just curious how CNN didn't include the part about God.

Of course the liberals and the media discount her, because she is a threat. Gov Palin is one of the most popular governors in the country. There's a reason for that. Gov Palin is the future!

half of my family are republicans. they would have voted mcain but then he chose you. do you have a humble bone in your body? because right now you are proving the 'diva' image. please, stop talking and take time to reflect and care for your family.

The only thing she could be qualified for in the White House is Press Secretary. The voters know this too.

Why is the media still giving Palin so much air time? Oh yeah, she's controversial, and that's good for ratings. Palin is so apparently so narcissistic that she thinks her media coverage is for her own advantage, rather than face facts. She continues to be exposed as a laughable side show. Speaking her mind during the campaign was the best thing for the election. We got to see just how low the standards for public service have sunk in America. How shocking, that someone as uneducated, xenophobic, self-absorbed and pompous could actually have been elected governer of the state of Alaska. My heart goes out to the citizens of that fine state. Want to run for president? Keep opening your mouth and burning your bridges, idiot.

It would be the greatest thing to happen to the democratic party if she runs in 2012 and wins the republican nomination for president. That would certainly ensure an easy Obama re-election with landslides the likes of the Reagan revolution!! My advice to Palin: Please consider running in 2012 and I hope you win your party's nomination!!

I guess Palin blames the GOP for losing her debate. John McCain lost all his debates but takes responsibility for his loss.

Run Sarah Run! This will guarantee Obama's re-election!

The USA would be better off if she joined the cast of SNL.

No Way and No How!!!

Hell will freez over before she is considered. You think the American Public is that STUPID?

She is considering after the failuer of RNC and all the infighting!!

Hah! That'd be the best thing to happen to the Dems in 2012. You betcha.

Enough is enough! Sarah Palin may have brought some excitement to McCain's campaign, but she also brought a lot of agita! Her lack of knowledge about major issues is clearly evident. She is not politically savvy either. The Republic Party will chew her up and spit her out. How can she even consider running for the presidency when she doesn't even know what the job of the vice president is. It's not running the Senate!

President. Palin.

Don't make me laugh.

Sarah Palin must have selective hearing: many Americans feel that it was because of Sarah Palin being on the ticket that John McCain lost.

Ralph Nader could beat her!

never in a million years would i support palin.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Too bad the media won't let her just disappear quietly.

Poor Gov. Palin. We conservatives and ultra-conservatives most definitely need a standard bearer, but she is not it, and she can't see THAT forest for the trees (that are probably standing in her own front yard.)

Our standard bearer should be the Lord. If the conservatives had of conducted themselves as the moral, ethical, "evangelical", "Christian Right" that they (we) claim to be (in all manners & matters regarding campaigning and the election), Sen. McCain would have won; wouldn't have been close.

But there were too many inhumane, unGodly things said and done for us to have "deserved" to win this election, and we actually expected a blessing from God while we were conducting ourselves in such a horrific fashion...not every body, mind you, but far, far too many.

Palin, please go away. You tout your christian values, then spread lies. You are the definition of a hypocrite.

You can't blame her. She sells well to uneducated rural America. There is still a lot of ignorance in this coutry. Remember? Two terms of W. Who elected W? Rural America. So the rural America still has the capacity to elect another IGNORANT MONSTER. This scares the hell out of me.

She has become a big star in politics. I'm sure she can run and do very well, if she chooses. She was only in the public eye for about 9 weeks and has garnered a huge following. We need a true outsider like her in DC.

errr... She'll have 4-5 grand kids by 2012.

What world is she living in?

Go ahead and run Palin. Everyone already knows what a spiteful, know nothing, arrogant, hate spewing person you are. Is she all the sudden going to change her views and be more of a moderate? I think everyone learned their lesson electing a moron for the past 8 years, and don't want to repeat that mistake.

Smell the fear from the Obama supporters! Palin is the future! Obama is too attached to Washington insiders–She is tough,faster on her feet than Obama and can multi-task–which he cannot–2012

Palin . . . If You Ever Run For President I Will Donate More Money And Volunteer More Time Than I Did For Obama To Make Sure You Never Lead This Country! I Dont Want Anymore C Students, Joe Six Packs, Or Anyone I Would Drink A Beer With Running This Country!

I hope she runs. She would be a gift for the democrats again. But she has to get through the other republicans first and that means she needs to actually answer some REAL questions and not dodge them.

SUre, go ahead and run in 2012, Sarah! That will just guarantee Obama a second term in office!!

Obama '12

Ok, after the week will the press please stop talking to this woman?? To me she represents manipulation by fear, religious radical, bigoted ignorance. She's caused enough anger and hate, she needs to disappear. Please don't continue to promote her insanity.

Go for it, Sarah. In just 2 months you've managed to become one of the most polarizing people in national politics. If your party nominates you they might as well hand the election to the Democrats (and that would be a good thing).

I'm not worried! Palin 2012!

Americans not ruling out voting her out again.

There is simply no chance that Palin will ever get elected President. Yes, the far Right Wing hardcore love her. Nobody else takes her seriously.

Don't underestimate the weight on that door with the crack in it.....it may be a little heavier than you think Sarah.

I can see another 4 years of Obama comming up!

If Palin were a Democrat, the far-right-family-values-crowd would have crucified her for abandoning her newborn, and her family for political ambition!

For anyone who thinks that Palin would be a viable candidate, you need to remember that this is the woman who spewed hate, fear, lies, and division all over our Nation. We've had a divider in the White House and do not want another one!

The REASON the Republicans lost was in part due to Palin's vile comments about the "real America versus the other America."

THANKS BUT NO THANKS!

Somewhere in Alaska there's a village missing it's idiot. Sarah, PLEASE go home!

if the repulican party is smart, the quicker they can SHUT the door on this woman the better. NEVER MY VOTE.

Look at that quote: "...even if it's cracked up a little bit, maybe I'll just plow right on through that and maybe prematurely plow through it, but don't let me miss an open door..."

Are you kidding? This is what the conservatives want? America can do better. I'm an Obama supporter, but if the GOP wants my advice, put Newt up for Prez. At least he can put a sentence together.

Maggie in SC,

If you are going to quote from the Bible, at least learn how to spell the names.

ESTHER.

People like Palin are exactly WHY moderate conservatives are leaving the Republican Party.

I am all for it!
This would be a guarantee of another landslide Democratic win!
If I were Obama I would secretly donate money towards her campaign to make sure she won the Republican nomination.

I'd like to see the Republicans find a candidate who doesn't derive obvious pleasure from stirring up the Neanderthals at rallies.

Let her run; unfortunately, all the GOP has left in its support network are the evangelicals, the ignorant, and the angry, and she appeals to all three. She'd be perfect cannon fodder for the Democrats in 2012.

From a reformed Republican, please, Sarah, run in 2012. You have placed a spotlight on the reason no one should vote Republican. When a large faction of society is willing to vote for a candidate who knows nothing of its history, admits she doesn't read informative newspapers or magazines, lies, incites anger (to the point where fellow Americans yell, "Kill him" and she simply smiles), hides behind her faith as if it's a protective barrier, I just don't get it. I have lost ALL faith in the Republican Party and am now a life-long Democrat.

PLEASE!!! I'd love nothing better than to see a woman elected president of the U.S. before I die, but NOT this woman. There are many smart, experienced women (some may even be Republicans) including Hillary Clinton. I do hope that the national media lets this story die and we get on with solving serious problems with serious candidates.

If the Republican Party doesn't revamp it's organization and get rid of the right wing extremist evangelicals no one with an iota of common sense is going to support their party.

Keep the religion in the churches where it belongs and elect people who have intelligence and vision without the warped influence of what ever fairy tale they happen to believe in or support.

Dear Sarah Palin,

Please do run on 2012. Please do, so it's going to be guaranteed that republicans are not going to have even a slim chance to make it to the white house, and that's all good. Good for America and good for the whole world.

I was really hoping, actually, PRAYING, this woman would go away after Nov. 4th, but, like an uninvited family member, she just doesnt know how to take a hint and leave.

Let's hope she does run. She energizes 25% of the electorate and alienates 75%. She'd be a great opponent for Barack's re-election.

The only possible reason for the press to be so interested in Sarah Palin (aka Barbie Doll) is to exploit her and hence increase ratings. She is clearly an idiot and unfortunately potentially a dangerous one. While the rest of the country is trying to heal the divisiveness that has plagued America for a long time, she is hellbent on fostering racism and re-visiting all the other ugly remnants of the past that few want to hear. Yes, she is news, but she is BAD NEWS!! = Get her off the air.....

Opportunist. Will you just walk through the open door so someone can lock it behind you and throw away the key! This woman is an idiot and the more she talks the more evident it becomes. I'm sure Johnny boy cringes everytime she opens her mouth to think he put her out there. God help the Repugs if they think this sister is their savior.

This is laughable!

As a lifetime Democrat, I fully support Sarah Palin running for and receiving the Republican nomination for president in 2012. Seriously Republicans, she's your best chance to win the White House. Really. Trust me.

Go for it! I smell another landslide, oh and not for the Caribou Barbie! Obama/Biden 2012!

Palin....Ask your laying the hands on missionary to pray and drive all the "witches" from the USA. You might have a chance if that were to happen. Go Republicans....Got to love them.

I thought we had enough of inarticulate babbling from Bush. Please ignore the moosehunter and just let her langush in Alaska, She should spend her time learning if Africa is a continent and watching for Russian planes in Alaskan air space.

And the nonsense run on sentences from Palin continue. Please spare us. Plus she is in total denial regarding her roll in the loss of the race! I particularly like her recent comments about the "attacks" against her – that they are uncalled for etc. Again, PLEASE! Hers were the nastiest speeches I've seen in a political race in a long time! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

Lets hope reality intrudes for someone in the Republican party and this goes no further than talk.

I knew she had her on agenda that is one of the reasons why McCain did not win. It is hard to win when you opponent and VP pick are both working against you.

The first clue for republican follower is when they, ask her in the VP debate would she follow McCain’s agenda if something happen to him and she said no.

Keep picking them like this republican’s; she stands for what people want out of Washington, a politician with their own agenda at any cost.

The definite of Sarah Palin= Sociopath
1. Glibness and Superficial Charm
2. Grandiose Sense of Self
3. Pathological Lying
4. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
5. Shallow Emotions
6. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
7. Irresponsibility/Unreliability
8. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Yes, run, Sarah, run! Ran away, that is!

I saw the interview, which was 100% softball. Nothing wrong with that, there's no election going on here.

What strikes me though, is that her responses really aren't that unintelligible. It seems like if she got some basic coaching on how to give an interview, she could do all right.

In the paragraph quoted in the article all she needed to say is: "I am keeping my options open, we'll see what the future has in store." Something like that. Instead, she just keeps rambling until she runs out of words to say.

I hope she does. It'll be another crushing defeat for the GOP.

Interesting that the first part of her quote is left out. When she talks about the "open door", she's referring to a prayer that she's praying to God about her future, and the fact that she's praying for guidance. Your article makes no mention of that, and I think it does a disservice to your readers. The longer quote is available in an interview by a local Alaskan newspaper.

Ms. Palin, could you please stop all these 'advance' political campaigning? It's not even a week after you clearly lost, and you're already vying for the next election. Instead of scheming out your own presidential ambitions, you will do yourself and especially our nation a big favor if you focus instead on what you can do - as a governor, a mother and an ordinary citizen - to help the new president and all of us, citizens, rebuild and strengthen the economy. If you continue to do these political hype in the media, the people will get tired of you early on. Honestly, I used to respect and listen to what you have to say. But right now, I am just getting sick and tired. Do rest, and give us some, too.

Please DO run. That'll guarantee another Dem election in '12

The Running of the Moose( Juneau like Pamplona) maybe, but not much else.

Go right ahead and run in 2012 Palin! Every time I read that I have to laugh because you will just give the Dems another 4 years in the White House. YES WE CAN! Yes...you do have a group of supporters but it is only those that are on the extreme far right. And, I do mean extreme far right! I am still astonished that you're governor and have been mayor of Alaska. Well with Stevens having been found guilty of multiple counts of fraud and you were found guilty of illegal practice in your own job it really makes me question how government is really run in your state. If you think you can play by those rules as a senator, VP or President then you're delusional.

Yes, please let run in 12 against Obama, I would love to see that debate! SNL would get some great new spots!

Only scary thing is that some people will actually vote for her!

RULE IT OUT, YOU BOOB....

Go back to Alaska.

Take care of the bastard grandchild and the retard!

Please do not underestimate Sarah Palin. She won as Governor of Alaska and there is nothing saying that she couldn't win as a President-Elect of the U.S. Hopefully the people of the U.S. will
remember the election of 2008 !!

Okay,

So why is it fine if Sarah Palin uses slang all the time in a national campaign???? Oh wait I know it's folksy, its not slang?!? Barack does a fist bump with his wife and... well you get the picture.

Maybe by 2012 she can learn all the continents and finally be as smart as most 10 year olds.

As a staunch republican, I have to say that there is no way I would vote for her. I mean she has embarrased the party and hurt McCain's chances. She can come out and blame Bush for the loss, but look in the mirror....maybe you touch up your interview skills and maybe know your geography before becoming a candidate for presidency. Lets look at some real candidates in 2012 and hope that she just goes back to the woods of Alaska....

Oh my God... please tell me I'm having a nightmare.

As a staunch Barack/Biden supporter, all I can say is:

Please Please PLEASE run in '12, Sarah!!!

Ignore her, maybe she'll go away!

Maggie in SC November 11th, 2008 9:36 am ET
Palin is a woman I totally admire. she sticks up for her country...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13 words that say absolutely nothing at all.

She is such an idiot. How could the republican party have become so dumbed down? First Bush and now Palin.

she will never be president until she quits wearing baby polar bear mittens.

Based on these types of responses, it would appear that some of the rumors are true. I think Gov Plain's ambitions are very inflated and self-serving. It also appears that she larned nothing from this campaign or election. I would have liked to hear how she wants to achieve more experiencee and knowledge about foreign policy, domestic polci, issues that appeal to all people. You said a lot of mean and devised things during the campaign and I for one would not want you as a representative of this country. YOu are lacking in knowledge and substance. IT appears you and the Republican party learned nothing from this election. You also need to surround yourself with individuals who will tell you the truth and quit filling your head wth illusion of grandeur. Until you learn how to be representatvie of all people and not just a few, you will not be even considered as a leader. . No Sara you are not now are do I feel will you ever be ready to be president of this great country of ours. I think you should look at being a governor to all people of your state instead of just a few and maybe someday you will be ready to LEAD.

her fate will become a trivia question on a game show.

You're NOT ready to be President.

In four years, you WILL NOT be ready to be President.

I was hoping that when she went to Alaska we could forget about her and her intelligence! I woudl love for her to run again, it guarantees a Democratic win (again). She could be president of the ultra rght wing fanatics in Walsila!!

I can still remember this idiot saying, "You can't blink!" over and over, then doing her silly wink-wink-wink thing on TV ad nauseam.

Remember, dear, you won't be as cute in a few years. You're getting OLD.

Lighten up people....she is just kidding ....Sarah loves America too much!!

Six months from now, most people won't be able to tell you whether she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, a VP candidate, or a really awful entrant on American Idol.

Sarah go back to Alaska!! We have an exceedly brilliant man as President-Elect. YOU DON'T HAVE THE EDUCATION OR INTELLECT TO EVEN COMPETE. SO CLOSE THE DOOR-GOD FORBID YOU THINK YOUY EVEN HAVE A CHANCE. HAHA!

Dear Political Ticker.don't you have anything good to report. Palin has run the most nastiest campaign we have ever had, we don't want to hear or see of her anymore,she is the reason that a lot of people did not vote for McCain.Let her just go back to Alaska the animal killer.

OMG..... how long does 15 seconds last...

and, why did she get even that long...

Yup its that retired guy from Ma. Former Republican...
Getting younger since the election.......vs old(69yrs)-retired-white guy.

Bruce

Easy to see why I'm a Former Republican isn't it...!!!

Dallas TX Are you just that stupid? Why in the world do you think Sarah Palin has any intelligence to ever be more than Governor of Alaska a whacky state that wants to succeed from the union.

She's not qualified for the office she currently holds.

that would be another sure win for the obama team.

Did you guys read what she just said? I did not really understand it....

plow through that door like a snow plow from the bfe town you should be at home from- i don't want the republican party to have a single chance in 2012 so yes i am very pro palin cause who in their right mind will vote for a soccer mom with a nuclear bomb under her trigger finger?

Hi,

Now we have to hear about Sarah Palin again and again, ok.... Now that election is over, could you make sure Senator Jonh McCain tells us how he had made the decision about Sarah Palin choice for VP candidate ? Please have that crucial information for the world. Please.

Thanks

Everytime this woman speaks I think of SNL and Amy Pohle looking at her like what the ? This is the most ridiculous human being to think she is anything but an airbrain. I will do everything in my power to keep her away from the white house if the GOP is so stupid to give her any serious consideration. Are people this dumb? Maybe she should start taking care of her kids? They dont seem to like college. Doesnt the 7 year old EVER go to SCHOOL?

Palin's run for the presidency will be a disaster for the GOP. Her anti-intellectual and cultural war positions will be a loser.

Palin is the dumbest politician in America. She can run for election all she want's too. However, we Americans are not stupid enough to vote for her. She really needs to stay in Alaska and read some books. The woman is uneducated.

It's unfortunate that Mrs. Palen feels that she can possibly run for president in 2012. She is clearly not an intelligent woman and hopefully there are much smarter republicans available to run. If not, and the republican party would even consider her, the message to Americans is that the only viable party is the democratic one.

Yes...by all means, Sarah...run in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With you on the ticket, we can be guaranteed another 4 years of Obama and sensible leadership!!!!

THE ONLY OPEN DOOR I WISH YOU TO GO THROUGH IS THE OUTSIDE PRIVY. PLEASE STAY THERE

I think Sarah Palin is simly not qualified. She needs to go to language school and polish her english. If she thinks she is qualified then she is joking. McCain took a gamble for an inept candidate and he pays for it in defeat. My advise to Palin is that do not attempt contesting come 2012 because in the primary you will loose in your home state of Alaska. Just stay where you are,infact there is the chance that you will loose your re-election as governor even if contest. America is more than what you think.

And Repubs – get over it! Just the fact that YOU voted
BUSH into office – not once – but twice – gives YOUR
opinion absolutely NO CREDIBILITY!

Palin is the dumbest politician in America. She can run all she want's too. However, we Americans are not stupid enough to vote for her. She really needs to stay in Alaska and read some books.

For McCain...You can see now what a BIG MISTAKE you did for your campaign!

Please make this hypocritical , lying , stupid broad go away. She is a joke , a big joke

Shouldn't she be running her State? If I took this much time off I'd be fired.

Yes – and I heard one pundit say that '80% of Repubs would be
for it – and 100% of Democrats would be for it!'
In other words, she would make it a slam dunk for Democrats!!

Train wreck.

Oh yea... does she hope that she will get thru the primaries with her kind of knowledge.. it will take her few attempts like may be 12 years for her graduation... They will rip her about her performance in this election. she needs more time may be 12 years....

LMFAO!!!! yeah she should run...so that more Democrats can be elected. The only person who really thinks she is capable of being president is her. GEESH!

GO-AWAY PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love her use of the verb" plough". So perfect . So evocative. So Sarah.

She started running for president half way through John McCain's campaign. She will stop at nothing in her quest for power, and will trample anyone in her path with her spiked heels.

Sarah Palin has one – and only one – thing in common with Hillary Clinton, and it's a sense of entitlement, as though the good lord himself applied a stamp of approval.

SARAH IN THIS WORLD OF INTERNET AND INSTANT INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU.
YOU ARE THE JOKE OF THE ELECTION AND GUESS WHAT, PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER HOW YOU LIED FOR MANY MANY YEARS, FAR MORE THAN 2012 AND BEYOND TO 2016

CAN YOU HEAR ME SARAH? THE WHOLE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU.

Sarah, this is God speaking. Shut the door!

only reason she is still in the news-> she is the britney spears of politics, people just don't get tired of getting embarssed of her follies, I mean come on america you have better leaders to follow and worship.

Please don't bother Sarah. It's funny how you think you are intelligent enough to be anything more than a hometown beauty queen who was hot enough to pull votes from horny old men. Stay home honey and take care of your kids because if you don't you will find you will have a lot more out of wedlock grandchildren.

Thanks but no thanks! Also!

To even think of comparing Palin's competency to Obama's is laughable (if not thoroughly disturbing that one would actually think Palin even comes close).

Sarah – In the words of Dieter from Sprockets (that wonderful SNL character portrayed by Mike Myers)

"I've grown bored with your childish antics."

I'm sure when Sarah does run in 2012 (which she will, and I hope she does) Obama will CRUSH you AGAIN like a mere ant under his heel! MWA HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

FAIL

I DON'T GET IT!!!
Governor Palin is an person of AVERAGE intelligence. And what I mean by that is if you REALLY LISTEN to her answer questions on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being super smart she is a 5 -6.
Now what is really disturbing to me about this is I always felt our current President was a 5 or 6. This has NOTHING to do with personality it has everything to do with being able to make the CORRECT decision under stress. HELLO..this average intelligence has lead us to decisions and a situation that is going to take us 4 to 10 years to get out of. DO YOU WANT TO RISK THAT AGAIN???
The core Republican Party needs to get it's head out of the sand and realize that while Pro-Life is an important issue IT IS NOT the most important ISSUE when selecting a President. Neither should the desire for a women to be at the top of the ticket mean it should be any woman.
Sarah Palin DOES NOT have the intelligence for the national stage and frankly I don't think she EVER will. We need to let her just stay in Alaska and a a nation seek out nothing but the BEST MINDS (Republican, Democratic, or Independent) our nation has to offer to guide it into the future. Governor Palin would probably a COMPLETE failure even as a Governor if she was in Ohio, New York, Illinois, or any other state that has REAL ecomomic challenges. Alaska has all of that oil revenue and a fairly small population. Lets not make it sound like she is trying to handle the REAL tough problems facing the main 48 states, because she is not!! Gov. Palin has had her 15 minutes and we need to move on....

Give her a break. I'm a democrat but I like her demeanor. She has held higher position than 99% of those commenting on this story. Until you have held the positions she has and have been in the same positions as her, get off her back.

If people were on Obama like this everyone would be playing the race card.

I agree, PLEASE GOD NO! I would like the next couple of years to be peaceful, not anxiety ridden worried about her coming back down from Alaska. There is just something about her that sends chills of fear down my back

Sarah,
Please stay in seclusion, hibernation, out of sight, and out of mind forever! Party with the eskimo's, or Russians, have McCain up for a Igloo house warming party...you need to focus on what you do best...which is not much really...and how about that, you also threw Bush under the bus, no surprise, maybe, just maybe you had a lot to do with this election failing miserably as well! Have a good day!

Is she going to be less dumb in 2012, that does give her four years to study.

And tell the pitifully uniformed Tom in Delaware that:
A) Obama did not appoint himself, he was elected, and
B) Obama was Senator for a lot longer than 137 days.

She is why McCain LOST. What a delusional person!

If Sarah Palin's all the GOP has in 2012 then we may not see a republican in the White House for another 16 years! Hillary 2016!

Why is the news still talking about this woman. Isn't there more important things to talk about. Don't give her any air time. She doesn't deserve it. Just let her fade into the Alaskan sunset. She is absolutely not bright enough to be President of the U.S. And four years from now she still won't be bright enough. Let it go already!

Love you Palin – You go girl.

Palin 2012

The open door, as Ms. Palin would have it, seemed to be at every Nieman Marcus store she could find. It is time for Sarah the Governor and Joe the Plumber to vanish. There might just be an open door where both can make their long overdue exits from the national stage. Enough is enough.

With Bush out and Obama in, this will give the media something to occupy their time.

This cocky wacko needs to pay attention to her family and permanently stay in Alaska. Obama's presidency will be a hard act to compete for, and her IQ level and her behavior will eliminate her as a candidate.

I don't think she'd ever make it past the primaries, and if she did she is so divisive that democrats would band together around Obama like they did in '08.

why don't all you negative Democrats find some other website to voice all your hatred.

I think she's plowing through a wall. I like to think McCain is a well intentioned guy but he's unleashed something evil here, like W Bush she's deluded into thinking God wants her to be president. I hope the people of Alaska take it into their own hands to defeat her for any future office she runs for and send her back to Wasilla where she can drop the hockey puck at the sports center she built as a monument to herself til they put her in a nursing home. The Republican Party is literally poisonous and she is the most vile of its toxins. Someone this devoid of introspection should never hold a position of power.

I really wish she would just stay away. Perhaps if the media, who she did not seem to want to talk to during the campagin, would stay away she would just go quietly into the good night.
To Washington Observer, GET OVER IT!

When I say Joe, you say Plumber!

I don't see how the GOP can seriously be thinking of having Sarah run and hopes to survive. Following her scripted introduction, it was an eight week disaster. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of more intelligent, and more qualified people.

Will she still be palling around with secessionist?

Ha! I can't think of a better way for the republicans to lose. Letting Sarah Palin run would be like gift wrapping the election for the democrats, perfect. This hag is a fraud and one of the worst examples of American politiccs. Only the tuely stupid and brain washed idiots that can't think for themselves would vote for this twat.

Didn't she blast Obama throughout the campaign for wanting to be president for personal ambitions? What's all this talk now about me and opportunity, blasting through the door etc. Sounds like an opportunist to me.

The media needs to stop encouraging her – right now!!!! Stop encouraging this woman. Stop interviewing her – she is not news!!!

Say it ain't so, Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin/Joe The Plumber 2012!

Their slogan can be: "Toilets you can believe in!"

========who cares?

she would never be a good leader.

she lies.
she divides.
she is clueless.
she is an idiot.

Hell No...No Way. No How, No Palin 2012 or 2016 or 2020.

Go back to school and learn the Constitutions of the USA, continents, NAFTA, .....

I would love to see a female president running the United States of America but not her, I would take Chelsea or even the Bush's daughter...

She is in such denial....wow. Todd, please do us a favor and keep her is Alaska.

I love how the media coverage of the Obama's us still fawning over them. Where will Michelle shop? Where will Barack shoot hoops? Please. Are these Hollywood celebrities or the First Family? I love the double standard that exists for liberal politicians. Where will the Obama girls go to school? I can guarantee it won't be a public school even though Democrats are supposedly for public education sector and the Teacher's Unions. Why would he risk his kids' educational futures by sending them to a public school instead of a private one? He won't. He is a hypocrite just like Al Gore was and just like Bill Clinton. Do Democrats ever do anything they preach to everyone else?

Well if Obama does zip for our country in the next 4 she might have a good shot. I am sure she will be keeping up with her civic lessons these next 4 years. LOL If Hillary runs she is doomed.

Yes Sarah run.....and make Joe the plumber your VP pick....that will be a very strong ticket!!

if she runs, it will be an easy win for obama. if she is the best the republicans can field in 4 years, the republican party will once again be humiliated.

I find her "Alaska, Alaska, Alaska" statements alarming. She acts like Alaska is an indepdent country that provides energy to the "lower 48" as if its some kind of act of charity. Country First? No, it's Alaska First with this Governor.

She has my 100% support. She is a real person, not a creation like Obama.

It's a free country, Fritter your finances away!

Palin can think about running in 2012 all she wants although i hate to rain on her parade that Obama will be the President until 2016, and besides wants America learns that she, and her husband wanted Alaska to be separate from America, and she wanted the polar bears off the protection list.
Palin has a lot of skeletons in her closet, and thats just a few of what i just mentioned.

President? i do not think so!!!!

Will the real Sarah Palin please step forward !

After projecting this 'wholesale wolf hunting from the helicopter , mush them doggies across the arctic wilderness,Hey, we call 'em snow machines' image we see Palin interviewed by a national news network reporter who pointed to a Cessna type plane in the background and asking our supposedly rough and tumble Alaska governor " Can you fly one of those ?" and leaving the normally loquacious Sarah almost speechless, before mumbling something to the effect of "'I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those, it's like flying in a tin can !' This said in a very teenagey, pouting, downcast ' These questions ain't FAIR !!' demeanor.

The float plane is, if anything, a symbol of Alaskan life, being the lifeline, to this day, for many outlying communities so it is hard to accept that Sarah Palin, the wild northern woman, the one who, I guess, hung precariously out of a helicopter to kill a reputed 67 wolves would (slip up and ?) make such a down country , suburban comment about this wilderness state's fabled icon.

I smell a fabricated image here , one that is leaking badly as this once scrappy ( as long as it isn't challenged) ego wears thin under the scrutiny of enquiry.

You will LOSE. You are not right for this country. This country has left your type.

Please dear God, save us from that dimwit ! Can she just disappear ?

Sarah Palin should hire Dan Quayle to help her prep for the debates.

They could both be contestants on the show, "Are You Dumber Than A Fifth Grader"!

ARE you kidding me? Are YOU kidding me? Are you KIDDING me? Are you kidding ME? I thought so!! April Fools day has come early! lol

You have to give credit to Palin. She is persistent in what she doesn't know, and in that blissful ignorance, she is courageous.

I am all for her running for 2112 or 2116. Unless she gains more information about the world and how it operates and a fair amount of intellectual acumen, the democrats and those who see the world as being oval will keep winning the presidency.

The GOP will never recover from it's far right wing descent into xenophobia, religious fanaticism, ignorance, anti-intellectualism, and antiquated social views as long as the inarticulate Sarah Palin has a prominent role in the party. At some point, the party has got to ditch this stuff if they are to survive at all in a world that is moving ahead without them.

Oh no! Please no!

Can John's political corpse get cold first ... Geez

If she doesn't keep herself in the political limelight that hockey thug won't marry her daughter.

Please run for office Palin.

With the hard economic times, I could use a good laugh.

Obama/Biden '12

Hillary/Warner '16

Hillary/Warner '20

and beyond that I don't know.

Is there a Blithering Idiot Party? If there is, she'll get their nomination.

Sarah, Learn how to find Africa on a map first, then talk about running for higher office. In fact, learn how to do your current job first.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle?

Lipstick!!!

She should spend the next four years going to school to learn all the stuff she never learned in her early school years. hey I can see how she would decorate at the Whitehouse, she would have moose heads on the wall and bear and wolf skins all over. of course they would carry their guns but visitors would have to check them at the door. What a night mare.

What has our world come to? Truly the end of times...

2012 may be ok - By then her stint on Dancing with the Stars should be all wrapped up.

I sure hope she gets nailed in these subsequent interviews.

No better way to guarantee 4 more years of communist rule in the USSA

Is she going to be on the stupid nut-job party ticket?

Why is she in the news... she is slowly unraveling any respect the Republican Party has left.. oh better yet.. keep her in the news!

Palin 2012 : Obama needs 8 years to clean-up this mess.

Oh Sarah! Bless your heart! You just stay in li'l ole Alaska and buy a subscription to Time Magazine, the NY Times and maybe take a community college course in world events for starters... Get a TRUE Gay friend, who can tell you that being Gay is not a choice, take a science course on evolution and global warming... you get the picture Dear Heart.

Anyone that have at least 1 braincell would say Palin is an idiot.

I am frightened at the people on here that actually support Sarah Palin. I wonder if they are as ignorant as she is. Must be if they think she is remotely intelligent or qualified.

Can't she just go away?

Bring it. And make sure you bring extra lipstick this time!

All the pit bulls in the house, throw your paws up!

Can Barack become President first before we start talking about who is running in 2012? Is this woman completely delusional, she is among the many reasons why McCain didn't win. The only way she could think about running in the 2012 is if she started reading newspapers by today.

McCain lost in large part becasue people did not think she could be president if that situiation arose. That was the opinion of Alaska's largest newspaper. She is in denial about that. The thought of her running for president in 2012 is laughable. I believe they just want to get their hands on that campaing money again. There will be all new fashions for 2012! LOL

Monsters under the bed, snakes in the commode, ghosts in your closet and Sarah Palin– President. Things you do NOT want to see.

"It will take about 6 months for the country to get sick of a rock star prophet with no experience and no clue how to turn the economy around"

and palin isn't an inexperienced rock star?

Why is anyone wasiting their time with person. She is not qualified, and would have been a big risk.
If this is the best the GOP has to offer down the road..it is scary.

SLAM THAT DOOR SHUT

Nail it up
Board it up.
Cinderblock it up.

The door that leads NOWHERE

LOL really? REALLY?!? She wants to run for PRESIDENT? Of the UNITED STATES!?

This woman is TRULY unhinged. Stick to guarding the border for Putin's head, Sarah.

The country has sent a clear message that her populist, anti-intellectual schtick is completely out of sync with most Americans. Let her run as a fringe candidate for the ultra right wing conservatives in a different party, the Rouge Cou Party. Then, maybe Republicans can rid themselves of the faction that makes them so frightening to those of us who harbor some fiscally conservative ideas but can't stomach the likes of people like Palin and their servant Sean Hannity.

WE JUST WENT THROUGH 8 YEARS OF SOMEONE THAT CAN'T
SPEAK..I REALLY DON'T THINK WE COULD PUT UP WITH IT AGAIN.
THE PROBLEM WITH YOU PALIN,IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT A CLUE
WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE MOVE YOUR LIFE IN A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION !!!

GO AWAY!

This can never happen. Her and Todd will be baptizing folks in the White House. Now picture that...

Noooooooooooooooooo Sarah.....Go away.....

I'd give her a chance just like I gave Obama a chance. If Obama doesn't have all the troops out of Iraq in 9 months like he promised, I will never vote democrat again even if it's against Palin.

please run Sarah, the three debates alone would be a laughfest. Just imagin her barbling on about nothing. If the repug party is not dead, this would be the final nail in the coffin.

The repug party has been infected by a contagious disease called ignorance. And its been spread by the likes of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Foxnews.

We DO NOT NEED A FANATICAL Christian anywhere near the White House

First whatever happened to:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."? Or how about article 6: "No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." Why do we have
fanatical Christians getting away with trying to cram their beliefs
down our throats? Why do we swear to god for everything from taking office to standing up in court?

To each his own, is what I was brought up believing. I want a BIG
separation of church and state! Save it for Sunday or whatever day
your belief requires and leave it out of our government! Religion has
been the bane our world's governments from the beginning of time. You would think we would wake up and realize it. I think most Europeans get it. Most practice their beliefs in private or with their religious communities and leave it there. Why can't we do the same? No more tax exemptions for churches, they are no longer allowed to lobby for any cause or law. They are to have NO say whatsoever in any part of government. Hey isn't that what all of this means???:...

Oh, please God, no!

Lock the door and throw away the key.

If she ever runs again, she'll take the republicans down with her...for years!!! (That's GOOD!!!)

She should be happy with some whacked out TV show.

Oh spare me,

The only way she has a snowball's chance in he** at being President anywhere is if she gets here wish and Alaska secedes from the Union.

Stick to beauty pageants Mrs. Palin.

hahahahahahahahahaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Dan Quayle stands a better chance of winning.

This is what we have ripened to – "The instant culture". This is what our system of educations has taught us: "There is no wrong answer – everybody is correct – It is impolite to say that something is wrong". We've learnt over the years that we really dont need to put effort towards realizing goals – just luck (open doors) is what we should keep looking for..... Good luck America!

Even if the door is "cracked up?" I'll tell you what's cracked up. I love how all of her quotes are endless and leave the reader utterly perplexed. She says so many words, with so little meaning. This woman may be very sweet in person, except for the whole rabid anti-choice thing and the creepy Christian thing, but let me tell you – she is, at best, a goof. Do we really want another goof running this joint into the ground?

i'm ready to line up against her RIGHT NOW

Is this woman capable of uttering a complete, coherent sentence? Its fine to be a conservative; millions of people are. She needs to enunciate why conservatism is relevant in this age in more words than simply because she believes it to be so. Reagan was able to relate conservatism to world situations, not just "on account of because I like conservatism."

Please, Sarah, just go away.

Sarah Palin is a simpleton. Get over it Sarah, America is NOT going to go backwards . Go get a witch doctor to remove your greedy demons . The right wing party is DEAD.

Yeah, but we ain't interested in her!

For the sake of her family, her state, her country and the world, please keep the doors all shut. Tight.
Last week the United States were pretty clear when we told her "Gov. Palin – thanks, but no thanks." Now go home to your moose, dear.

Sarah Palin should pen her life story .... and she could call it " The Audacity of Stupidity". This wad needs to get over herself ... she's a potential conservative talk show host at best!!

She can't even come to terms with this basic reality – the majority of open minded Americans dislike her. Mean – Divisive – and just plain Nasty...to those who don't agree with her posistions.

And now – in her world – it's all about blaming Bush.

Perhaps she should look inward and ask herself: Why, if I already have beautiful children with the man that I love, would I have another child after the age of 40 when there is a 1 in 35 chance that the child will have special needs?

Sounds crazy selfish and displays poor judgment.

I wish her and her family well...

She will fade away into a distant memory once Obama and Biden get the wheels back on this country. Repugs should work on re-defining who they are and what they stand for rather than wasting further energy on Palin.

Palin was a big mistake... the GOP shouldn't make the same mistake again.. she will go "rogue" agian. She can't even stand obama.
Go and sit down lady and take care of your family and hunting....

Havent we had enough right wing radical zealots?

Oh yeah!!! And she babbles. Does anyone recognize that she says a lot of words but is saying nothing. By the time you work through the crap you forget what the question was. If you are asked a direct question give a direct answer and provide information to support your answer. A bunch of words about nothing is a distraction and if it was not for being educated and reading through the crap I would actaully thing Palin really was educated as well.

Please, run again, pretty please!

We Dems think you are the Mother's milk of campaign donations!

Fine by me – Obama will win by a landslide in '12.

Its like a bad dream

Only whithouse she can go to is the igloo.

I really don't think this woman is presidential material. she can squawk all she wants as to being held back by the campaign advisors etc, but just listen to her!...she's an airhead. The media needs to quit the bogus flattery...she didn't give interviews, etc while on the trail, she's proven her inabilities and now she's the lastest thing in talk shows...pahleeze! Let her cook moose chili and moose hotdogs, change diapers and run a carpool to the ice rink but for heaven's sake don't encourage her to stay in politics.....geesh!

I HOPE SHE DOES !!!! It's got to get better

When will you quit giving this northern RED NECK platform to run her big mouth. She has already used up her fifteen minutes of DE-FAME.

I am sick of hearing about Obama already. I could care less where the kids attend school, where Michelle Obama shops, Barack shoots hoops or who comes to dinner. Our country is a disaster area. The cause goes back for decades, not eight years as Barack misinformed the nation. His suggestion of a civilian security force smacks of Marxism and could be a dangerous precident. He is not African American, but of MIXED HERITAGE. Why is everyone so mesmerized by this politician. ALL WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH IS PUTTING OUR COUNTRY BACK TOGETHER. This campaign, in spite of early promises by the President-Elect, was about bashing the opponent and blaming Bush for all our ails. Bush was not an effective leader, but he was not the cause of all our problems. Obama needs to go to work and stop with all his eloquent, but empty speeches.

I read on yahoo news that according to the Secret Service, death threats against the Obamas spiked after every Palin rally. Nice lady, huh?

It's time to focus on your children, your daughter's wedding, and the baby shower and the birth of your first grandchild. Family first please!

You failed to include the preface to Sarah Palin's comment... She said that she is a woman of faith and will rely on God's leading. She was commenting on what she says to God about open doors... not what she says to the public or the Republican party.

You can't just excite the far right Neo cons hypocrites in american politics inorder to become president.
I don't see how Sarah Palin can be a president, except she starts reading and stop dividing this country. She has been a hypocrite all along. so my guess is that..she could easily blend in another centrist perspective and excite other bases as well. its up to her, she is a good political lier.

PLEASE GOD NO!!

This woman has no other interest than personal gain – typical republican!!

Ohhh geez. No, Sarah, really. It's okay. You really don't need to run in 2012. Please.

In fact, tell you what: you and your husband are free to secede. Yep. Just go ahead, we won't mind one little bit.

Seriously.

Anyone who would consider voting for her, I would point out to you what she has proven yet again in this interview: that every time she opens her mouth, a flood of nonsense emerges.

Sarah,
By all means run! If the Republicans want to be the party for stupid, inarticulate, white ideologues, YOU would be the perfect person to wave that flag! I mean, who among us could have better represented the anti-intellectual and racist tendencies of the U.S. of A better than you? Joe the Plumber may indeed be a fiction created by the right wing, but YOU, Mrs. Palin, are the real deal! If Americans want to continue a foreign policy based on WWJD, you'd definitely be our woman. Believe me, it wasn't the fact that you couldn't speak in sentences or the $150K shopping spree that led folks away from you, it was their anti-American tendencies. So I say You Go, Girl – you definitely speak for me!

Yes Palin , We hear You ! However, eight yrs. is a long time. Ask Bush, He'd like to have stayed in Texas.
No Time is like the Present ! Enjoy, don't wish your life away !

Palin needs to wake up and smell the coffee. My trash collector shows more leadership and knowledge then she does when it comes to the necessary credentials to become a President. People proved they were not stupid when they went to the polls. I doubt very seriously that any candiate wanting a shot for the top job would put someone that they met once on their ticket to make them fail. She even talks bad about her own party now and blames the loss to Bush and his spending habits. Where was this talk when she was putting up her front during her run?

Does she even know that there are certain words that end in a "g"? Sayin' isn't a word.

It fills me with hope, knowing that she will try to run again. Of course, one shudders thinking about what she will have to deal with, most specifically, the damage brought on by our Muslim leader (I'd rather have a fervent Christian – I'm an atheist – than an agent of Islam in office.

for president???? Sarah and Joe the Plumber would be the biggest joke of the century. (Pain and Panic) lmao

I wonder if she'll have her medical records prepared by 2012.

What a joke. The republicans will lose again.

I guess it would take her four years to learn her geography, learn how to talk without sounding so "ghetto", learn how to teach her daughter about safe sex, (cause let it have been one of Obama's daughters pregnant...we would have heard about it everyday)learn national security, learn how not to try to be divisive...I could go on & on!!!!

I am so glad Sarah Palin is planning to run, you know, for the nation and for herself, also, because in this world, you havta work, really get in there and work and succeed, with that wonderful effort that is god-given. We havta take this country onto the right path, being a maverick and not part of the, you know, old boy network but blazing a new path and also trying new ideas to succeed. Breaking down doors, maybe a little crumbled, maybe a little scratched up there, but really breaking them down and plowing thru like a snow machine and Louis Vuitton. For God. Amen.

Obama against Palin wouldn't even be a race. I'd rather see her run against Hillary in '16. Hillary would mop the floor with her. Now that would be worth seeing!

It's not frightening that she doesn't know anything.

It's frightening that she isn't aware that she doesn't know anything.

If she runs she'll only drag the party to the extreme right, and that's what destroyed the McCain campaign.

I'm not sure if it's good news or bad news that she doesn't understand that a victory cannot be had without appealing to the MIDDLE.

But she's shown no signs of that so far . . .

Playing the victime is not going to work with me. For someone who is a maverick, smart, intelligent, independent and the picture of the future, it is hard to believe you did as you were told. America was being sold a lie and now that the truth is coming out everyone is a coward and a jerk. Why isn't anyone calling her on the things she said. Palin spoke the words Palin should take on the responsiblity. If she was not running for what she stood for and to represent the people what would America get if McCain/Palin did win. What would people vote for. Palin does not scare me but makes me work so much harder to demand responsible people hold office and is there to serve the United States of America, not the States with people who think like a racist.

hopefully she will start to read some newspapers by then and might be a little more educated to know she is not President material. Please go away you uneducated fall guy

Two questions –
1. Is Africa a country or a continent?
2. What countries made up NAFTA?

There is little else as annoying as a nothing-nobody-wanna be who became addicted to the spot light. The problem is she has nothing to offer the voters. After saying "hello" at their convention she was a political disaster. A one woman wrecking ball. I'll never forget her hate rallies with the warm up by an officer in uniform yelling about Hussein Obama, the crowd yelling hateful things, the uniformed man saluting the crowd in approval, then little miss sarah taking the podium and in a few minutes the crowd was yelling "kill him".

please dear god, make her stay in Alaska. If I did not hear her voice again for 1000 years it would be too soon. The people have spoken and her style of devisive culture warfare is no longer the stuff that will win elections. She may have a draw in the red neck areas but as we have seen just winning in the sticks is not going to get you in the oval office any more.

I honestly do not think the GOP will let her put herself out there in 2012. Maybe in 2016 or 2020 but not 2012. The best that she can do right now is maybe run for Stevens seat if he wins and the Senate kicks him out. Let her become Senator but by all means, do not let her run for President in 2012.

I have a hunch the RNC may have a BIG say in little miss sarah's future.

For all of the "War Hero" rheroric, I didn't hear either one of them ever mention the thousands of homeless vets that we as a nation should be ashamed of on this day of Memorials.
Obama, however, did mention this in one of his speeches and noted that this must change!
I don't care about "opportunities for you", Ms. Palin. I care about our fellow Americans who are suffering in every corner of this country today.

Please go AWAY! Who talks about the NEXT election right after they just lost? She is teh female version of John Gard.

Her and her husband should seperate themselves from the USA, stick to shooting wolves out of copters, thanks!

Why is she still in the news?

Before Sarah Palin is overtaken by any delusional fantasies regarding a 2012 or beyond presidential run....one of her handlers/advisers needs to put a montage of her interviews together and force her to listen to herself in detail and at length. Hopefully, 2 words will come to her mind as those words came to the minds of every intelligent voter in this country..."Not qualified!!"

PLEASE DON'T. FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTY. PALIN PLEASE JUST RETURN TO ALASKA QUIETLY

Go Sarah, you've got my vote!

Sarah Palin!!!

Clueless as usual. Palin doesn't even realize that she swayed many moderate Republicans and independents to vote for Obama because they couldn't abide her narrow minded views, arrogance, and inability to think well on her feet. Besides, most of this nation views her as nothing more than a joke and will never take her seriously. Does she think we will forget the ugliness she encouraged at her rallies? She could have told people their vile comments and threats against Obama were uncalled for yet she did nothing but encourage it with her own twisted words. Obama will win another 4 years and I guess in 2016 we'll have to work to keep her out of the White House again. I'm all for electing a female as President but she must be the right female (and intelligent). That leaves Palin out of the race.

Palin is a woman I totally admire. she sticks up for her country and and holds strong for her beliefs in the face of adversity. I pray she will run and I will support her in every way I can. She is still an Ester for our time.

put on are yousmarter then a 5 grader

Talk about generating one's own negative publicity! I'd be more impressed if Palin were a bit more thoughtful and less frenetic in her responses to interviews....

14:59...

What a deluded fool she is. Doesn't she realize she realize that she already lost one election. But, please by all means run Sarah it would be a GIFT to the democrats. Who's your running mate gonna be Huckabee?

hahahahahahahaha

Oh no, not Sara again!! If the Republicans continue to use her, they will never win another presidency. They'd be better off giving her a talk show. A lot of laughs and a lot of fun but being the boss of American government is serious business and no place for Sara. Sorry.

Sarah, you've got to be kidding. The intelligent American people, democrats, republicans and independents do not want a complete idiot like you ruining this country. Your base of morons will vote for you but no one else will. Thank goodness we have an intelligent, competent man coming into power who will improve the qualilty of education in this country so that smart voters will continue to out number the wack jobs and keep lunatics like you out of the Oval Office.

I don't think we'll fall for that one.

Wishful thinking much, Wash. Observer? And what flavor Haterade will it be this morning? All Obama has to do is the opposite of what W would do in any given situation i.e. exercise common sense, and we'll be headed in the right direction again. But I'm sure that in a couple years people such as yourself will be screaming for his head, if you're not already. I gave W a chance when he was first elected (which technically he wasn't) and he promptly pissed it away. You however, aren't even willing to go that far. Suit yourself.

I think the plan needs to involve getting her into the Senate or House over the next few years and then having her run for 2016. She cannot succeed against the Gov. of Louisiana or another candidate with more DC experience. Same with Jindal. Get these young ones prepared more in Congress and then push the to the higher roles of President and VP. If Obama does well for 4 years, they will both lose out to him if running. They need to be a little more seasoned and a little more LT than 4 years out. 2016: Jindal/Palin or the other way around!!! I know we can do it.

Maybe she could run on her "energy expert" status? Ha! You realize that Alaska actually gives money to its citizens. Where does most of their revenue come from? It ain’t Salmon. They are awash in oil vs citizenry. The reason she was (operative word "was) so popular was that she gave her citizens another bonus check off her increased tax on big oil. I mean if you’re a family of 5 in Alaska, you’d get $17,500! But here’s the problem, gas has dropped by ½. Gas is below 2 bucks per gallon now. As the price of oil falls so does Alaska revenue. Guess what, if it goes below around $70 a barrel, Alaska can’t balance. So instead of sending more money to your citizens to buy their vote, she should have put that money into the State’s coffers for a rainy day. And guess what, the rainy day is here, oil is below $70 a barrel. Any “energy expert” would have realized that oil fluctuates so much you can’t give out the profits like she did (isn’t that spreading the wealth by the way?). Oh, and did we drill the first drop of oil? Nope. So much for the economics of “drill baby drill.” 20 year Oil Company Employee.

This woman is a self-serving sociopath and liar....wake up people!

OH PLZZZZZZ!!! this pitbull just wont go away. somebody muzzle her plz. if she is going to run again she 1st needs to take some more college courses. in geography, history, english (above the 5th grade level) and many others. she will still not be qualified to even run for dog catcher forget about president. plz sarah just stay in alaska. you were bought to the other 49 states by a desparate old man who thought he could get the woman's vote.

She needs to focus on ethical behavior before she considers running for any public office. She is the extreme right of the GOP and we've already seen where that has gotten us.

Palin as the leader of the republican party would be a gift to the democrats. Palin in '12! Palin forever!!

Oh, Sarah, please do run for 2012.
I can't wait to see you creamed in the primaries.
What do you think Newt and Mitt will have to say about you?
This will be a scream, and great fodder for more hilarious SNL spoofs.

Once the dust had settled from her ridiculous convention speech, it was clear that this woman is nothing of a stateswoman.

Folksy winks and flirtations will not win you over educated people of any party affiliation.

Palin appeals best to the ignorant, the bigoted and the ones who are easily swayed by unfounded fear.

Let continue to talk. After all it is a free country. Free to make yourself look stupid that is.

I hope she does run in 2012. It will be an easy win for president Obama.

PALIN, JUST DISSAPPEAR, PLEASE, GET LOST.

I'm one of the former straight party ticket voting women who jumped ship & voted for Obama. Reason? Two words. SARAH PALIN!! Not in 2008 or 2012 or beyond. My once noble party has been hijacked by the extreme wacked out religious right & the likes of this chick. Go away and please don't come back!

Thank you!
A former Republican (yes, mom, hell hath frozen over)

Please media, STOP with the Palin coverage. She represents the anti-intellectual ideology of the Republican party. We have important challenges facing this country and the constant barrage of news about her may sell papers, but distracts from the real issues.

65,974,960 people slammed that door in her face

Sarah Palin is exactly what is wrong with the GOP, a right wing nut job, more concerned about spewing inaccuracies than running the country. Sarah Palin did not lose because of George Bush – the country spoke very clearly that we wanted change after the idiocy of 8 years of the entire GOP. Obama acted more presidential than even our own President let alone McCain. I hope I don't live to see the day Palin makes it into the White House, can you even imagine the "gaffs" out of her?

Listening to her talk makes me want to plow into a door head first.

This is great news. She'll be even more scrutinized now all the way until 2012. Her actions will definitively prove that it was not the GOP that made her look like a clown but that it was Palin making Palin look like an idiot.

What a baby. She can shoot wolves from a chopper but she can't take a hint.
So I guess this year's run was her "beer hall putsch"? We really don't need this country to be governed by neo-Nazis and Klansmen. Come on Sarah, this is the 21st century. People have finally figured out that it's in all our best interests to care about people and social issues. You just don't get it and you never will.

I think that would be the best thing she could do for the Democrats. She is done. It is amazing that she cannot see it.

Her 15 minutes are just about up...

The woman does nothing but babble. Is she capable of producing a coherent sentence? I've seen no evidence of this so far.

Less than a week ago she 'was not thinking about' a future run. Go ahead, run. You'll be easy to beat.

OH GOD! You have got to be kidding! Well, if so, we'll win again in four years!

Why would anyone vote for Miss illiterate Sarah "I can See Russia" Palin. She is a dumbest politician on planet earth. What's next? Is she gonna see Africa from her bedroom?

It's all about you, isn't it Sarah?

we would like it very much if the door was very much locked shut, with her inside of it, and the key thrown away.

or she could run, and we can all celebrate 4 more years of an intelligent president in the white house...in another landslide

she is dreaming, we don't need dumb presidents anymore.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING would be better for this country than to have palin (who will never deserve caps) win the republican nomination in 2012.

That, I believe, would completely and irrevocably end the republican party.

The BEST thing about this is we get more Tina Fey skits!! (The real Palin.... now that's a real joke!!!

Not a Palin fan but looking forward to seeing what a Maverick will do now that the McCain campaign "handlers" are hands off ... and have riled her up by making nasty comments ... under the cover of not telling who they are, of course: McCain handlers: no brains and no guts! They wouldn't even let McCain 08 be McCain of 2000!

Hand this group of "mistakes were made" people a mirror if they want to blame someone:

Ok, I'm officially tired of hearing about her. There is no way she even has a chance of being elected.

OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET HER RUN IN 2012!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden '12

Sarah needs to focus on her current position. I will never vote for someone who referred to Obama as a terrorist among other things. She is not capable of running a clean campaign and will always try to find someone else to blame for her mistakes. She should have declined McCain's offer for the VP position and worked on strengthening her national political knowledge and maybe run for office in 2012. Since the entire world has seen the type of person she is (cut-throat and sneaky) it wil be hard for her to be taken serious in another election.

Sarah...Bulls PLOW THROUGH China Closets too....thanks but no thanks on that one...this our country we're talking about. The lives of millions of people hang in the balance. We need someone who knows *basic* geography. It astounds me how she is completely incapable of her own large and obvious intellectual limitations. When the cheering crowds of white religious fanatics are gone...how on God's green earth do you think you could begin to tackle any of what is going on in our world??

Let Palin go guys, let her go. No... it's okay guys. Let her go. It'll be a tough road ahead now that we have to deal with the issues but it'll be okay. Let her go.

I supported McCain, but despise this woman. I couldnt imagine this woman running this country

HAHAHAHAHA- yea right! She is the reason John McCain lost in a landslide the first time- Not even the folks in her own party trust her- Hillary has a better shot than she does at the first lady president or VP for that matter.

This is one Republican who would support Sarah Palin in 2012. She's the only reason I supported McCain this time!.

It's wing nuts like her that are the main reason more independents moved away from voting Republican

Well looks like Obama has won the 2012 election.

Perfect!

Obama 2012!

Wow! This woman needs some sense knocked into her. Or maybe plowed into her!!!

Oh God, please, please, please, let it be her! President Obama won't even need to leave the White House to beat this delusional fame junkie! She is Dan Quayle in a dress (which, by the way, was paid for by the RNC).

No news here – gonna see if MSNBC has shut up about the ditz. I can't stand the stupid woman.

God will keep the door open wor her.

Wait! God was supposed to make her a VP "the morning after", too.
I guess she didn't pray hard enough.

Does she still not understand that she was part of the reason McCain lost? Did she not look at the polls, which consistently stated that she was not qualified? Ignorance in basic education at the age of 44 will not change at the age of 48.

There's no way. Can't someone put a leash on this idiot? Romney?

She can go right on ahead and plow through it. But there is no way the U.S. will elect her President. I don't think 4 years or 8 years is long enough for her to learn how the US government actually works. I need someone who knows that (gasp) we are actually a part of NAFTA and whose other half was not part of a group that wanted to secede from the country. And I read the entire Troopergate file. What she was doing was unethical.

This woman should stay in Alaska where she belongs.
The next President of the U.S., whether man or woman, black or white, should demonstrate awareness of both the domestic issues and the world around them. This woman demonstrates neither.

yes, she definitely should be shown THE DOOR

I had hoped, that after last week, we would not have to listen to the shrill shrieking from that woman any longer. Please, please go away. You are annoying and nobody with a brain likes you.

That door is locked shut

Why, in the world are we still trying to make news about the election. Let us hear more about what President-Elect Obama will need to do. He hasn't even been in the Office yet and we are already for the 2012 re-election of him. I think that we all need to let go of the post-election blues and move on to something really important and I was looking forward to not hearing her voice again.

She should go for it, for sure. I'm a Democrat and I am 99% sure that I am going to want an Obama re-election in '12, so Palin would be an easy candidate to beat.

If she were a real centrist, moderate Republican (and she were running against one of our dud candidates like John Kerry), I might go for her, because she is hot! She's a month younger than me, so I feel I'd have a chance (less than the lottery jackpot, but a sliver of a chance)! I know, I'm terrible, but the fact that she is a right-wing whacko and we had the best candidate in a generation or two in Barack Obama made me vote correctly and not like a dirty, middle-aged man.

Yeah, good luck with that Sarah.

You will lose. You can't draw independents, undecideds or Democrats, so you can't win.

Drop the evangelicism and then, you *might* have a chance. Until then, your chances are about as good as pigs taking flight.

If she's the best the Republican party has to offer they are going to be the minority party for a very long time. People are sick of the extreme right's divisive political nonsense.

It's going to be more like "...don't let that open door hit you on the backside on your way out."

yeah right. good luck

Please, please... No.. Sarah Palin is not smart, is not educated to the level expected to hold the top position in our nation and leads by a book only 1/4 of the population believes in at her level.

Sarah would destroy this country in the course of her term.

Palin running against Obama in 2012? That I'd love to see! She's suffering from severe delusions of grandeur...almost worse than George W! Sarah, please go back to Alaska and take care of your family. You've already reached the pinnacle of your political career.

Somebody needs to sit her down and have a little discussion about the real life world of politics and political leadership. Yes, the eight years of the Bush administration hurt the Republican ticket, but she sure didn't help it. She was thrust into a situation for which she was unprepared and unqualified and she lacked the good judgement to say NO when asked to join the ticket.

Please dear god let her run in 2012 – it will guarantee another 4 years for Obama! When will the Republicans learn that the era of letting idiots run the country IS OVER.

Of course, my hopes will be dashed, because there is no way Republican heavyweights let a clueless barbie doll like Palin get the nomination. Oh well.

Gee she sure is granting a whole lot of interviews now isnt she?

that woman hates doors.

*Palin 2012*

Not surprised at all and I believe that she will take Stephen's Senate seat even though she said she wants to go back to Alaska.

STOP reporting about this woman! Please let her fade away...we have a new president who needs our support. And by the way...i have not heard her congratulate our new president ONCE! She needs to fade away and you all will feel like fools for reporting so much about her. I hope she becomes the new face of the R party...that would serve them right. She needs to get back to her day job and shut up for awhile. Enough already. Get her off the stage.

These rambling interviews Palin has done after the election prove beyond any shadow of a doubt how woefully unprepared she is to be president.

But she doesn't know how much she doesn't know. That's what's scary.

People say she has more executive experience than McCain and Obama, but there is an intangible mixture of wisdom, foresight, intelligence, cosmopolitan perspective, education, and deliberation that make Obama ready for the White House and Palin not.

Please don't run and put your family and the rest of the country thru this again. Stay home and help govern your kids and Alaska.

Sarah Palin will be the ultimate demise of the GOP if she continues to pursue a national office. She is NOT a role model for women (or anyone), she breeds ignorance (while fostering her own), and represents so many things that are backwards in our country. She needs to go back to Alaska and STAY there. Not just for 4 years. For good. If the Republicans ever want the White House back again, Sarah Palin is the absolute wrong direction to take and I hope that the Repubs are smart enough to figure that out and keep her far away. John McCain sealed his fate when he chose her. Stupid move. Let's make sure the stupid Sarah Palin move isn't taken again. Can't wait to see all the great things President Obama does.

oh please do so I can see you standing in the same spot McCain did on Nov. 4th.

Please Joe say it ain't so.

As a staunch Obama supporter, please Sarah, make this easy and run!!!

She doesn't need to rule it out. I'm pretty sure the GOP will do it for her. She's too much of an alienating force to be an effective contender.

WOW!! I really hope she runs in 2012. That would be a debate to watch... failin Palin and Barack Obama. hehehe, she would not be able to comprehend 90% of his explanations. Maybe she should go back and get a real degree first or something.

Hahaha and Palin can continue to haunt the Republicans chance of winning anything

Awesome!

I am very surprise that Wolf Blitzer is being fooled by this IDIOT Sarah Palin.Just listening to her once was good enough for me.Nothing can help this individual.There's no substitute for COMMON SENSE.

I am a republican and I didnt vote for John McCain because of Palin. If she where to run it would greatly runin this party

Palin may not be ruling out a 2012 bid, but the GOP and the American people are.

You had your shot, Sarah. You made yourself the laughing stock of your party. You can't handle Alaskan politics without abusing your power, what makes you think you can handle the big chair?

this is the scariest thing I've ever heard

First...GO AWAY already! Second, if you choose to ignore my first suggestion, then by all means please run for president in 2012 you should be an easy easy opponent once all your dirty laundry is given its proper attention.

yeah....you do that. **rolling eyes**

Can we get a good lock on that door?

Wow! It's mighty interesting that now the "liberal left-wing media" is now such a good friend to Sarah Palin. She's doing everything she can to stay in the spotlight. It was never about John McCain to her anyway; it was about HER and HER future. What a shame.

We're entreated to once again the ghost of Sarah Palin. She's entitled to "try" to run again, but if Republicans don't want to repeat what they did this year, they'd be smart to select someone else as their GOP frontrunner.

Republicans are so gullible – they go for image over substance (ie., see GW Bush). A likeable dolt. It's a shame to see that their standards are set so low. Go ahead on and run ms palin, you'll never crack the majority in a national election – first impressions last a lifetime.

Funny, it appears that in Ms Palins eyes, she was not at fault in any way in this loss. That's very telling.

Oh, please run Sarah! That would be just awesome. Ha : )

Why not ? Amen !!

Wow... can't wait for Rudy and Romney to tear her apart.

Yeah, and you can talk diplomacy with the country of Africa... When you're ignorant in you 40's, you're no longer ignorant, but dumb.

Sarah Palin has such a way with words. I understood what she said in this quote but sometimes she makes no sense at all. I just don't know what the right wing party sees in this woman. Yes she is pretty and a wonderful attack dog but other wise there is not much there.

I love the Republican Party and very proud to be one, but God forbid they allow you to run or even speak at a convention and I am done for ever. I voted Obama because of you and just the thought that you may still have a political future is scary. you caused more damage than Bush and I can not think of a dumber person.

I hope she runs. Another dose of her will probably irrevocably shatter the Republican party and that can't be bad.

Sarah Palin is an absolute joke.

She was a joke even before it became public knowledge just how big of a joke she is.

Ok, i thought this nightmare was over. Why are we being forced to listen to this unintelligent person again?

"...and maybe prematurely plow through it, but don't let me miss an open door..."

Translation: I'm probably not ready yet, but if my supporters tell me to run in 2012, I will.

Palin is a virus, and a plague, that no scientist or doctor will be able to stop. She has been given to much media time and should be cut off from politics and the world as soon as possible.

Operativer phrase: "...an opportunity for me."

Typical.

If she plows througjh that door we can only hope that she is more educated in national policy and learns how to talk about the issues and what her plans are instead of trashing the opponents issues. She is the reason alot of people didn't vote for John McCain..

If Sara runs she will easily defeat the "Chosen One" – the Messiah as crowned by the new York Times

It will take about 6 months for the country to get sick of a rock star prophet with no experience and no clue how to turn the economy around

Look for a Republican majority in the senate with the mid term elections and for the Republicans to pick up 20 seats in the House.

Maybe she'll end up appointing herself to Ted Stevens post as the new Senator from Alaska, and after 137 days of experience there, announce her canidacy for the Presidency...it worked for Barack.

Say it isn't so.

Oohhhh....good. Like Paris Hilton, if you stop talking about her, she'll just go away.

"You betcha!" (wink!)
