CNN

Rope..Rope...Rope...let her have as much as she needs.

She'll either jump it, smoke it, or hang herself eventually.

Having dinner in a room with someone who hung out with terrorists, well isn't that special?

OH please SARAH...go sit down some where. McCain gave you and Joe the plumber your five minutes of fame already!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA!
HOW COULD ANYONE ELECT THAT PERSON FOR GOVERNOR?

I hear there is a volcano that is about to erupt in Alaska.
I guess that makes Silly Sarah a vulcanologist!

I'm sure Obama will acknowledge her presence, but I'm not counting on much more than that

Sarah.... Sarah.... Sarah....... like that's truly believable coming from you.

I wish you WOULD run in 2010 so you can feel the full brunt of a 2nd butt whooping FIRST HAND. If you haven't learned your lesson the first time, and if you haven't heard the millions of voices that made their choice very clear, then, by all means RUN for President AGAIN.

We'd love to remind you yet again.

I love how she upsets liberals...

James, I am one of those who is compelled to post every time. I guess the best way to explain it is, she is just the embodiment of everything that is wrong with this country. That she has an ounce of credibility speaks to the fact that there are people in this country who are SO politically ignorant, that they will believe anything they are told. Do you really believe she is competent? Intelligent? Honest? She is one of the most horrendous hypocrites I have ever seen in American Politics, and with this crop of fools, that is saying alot. I think those of us on the other side are giddy at the prospect of her running again. I, myself, hopehopehope she does. She guarantees my side another 4 years if she is the Republican Presidential Nominee. I find her interesting the way people stare at a car crash. She is such a disaster, I can't look away. And she is a window into the mentality of a good part of America that I have no contact with (thankfully). I find people who support her ceaselessly interesting. They trumpet their support for her ignorant of the fact that they are identifying themselves as imbeciles with no standards and no political knowledge. And, guilty, I can't get enough. Additionally, your misinterpretation of our excitement for fear is another window into your failure to recognize reality. You sould like a child- 'fraidy cat!'- when in reality, the fear is that she will NOT run. I actually think there are some who could give Obama a run for his money. She, however, is not among them. Don't be angry at those of us who are educated and who are paying attention. Don't resent the intellectuals. They will save this country, and your ignorant self in the process. You're welcome.

WHO CARES! DON"T YOU GET IT, ONLY THE PRESS IS STILL FASCINATED BY THIS WOMAN, she's a disgrace and it hurts me so much that I know a lot more than a US gorvernor, even 5th graders know more than her. She is A NATIONAL JOKE!

STOP WRITING ABOUT HER CNN!

Would this woman please go back to school and learn how to put a cohesive sentence together. Put some periods in there somewhere, for goodness sake!! Did she get her degree in a Cracker Jack Box

GO AWAY PALIN!!

She could not win a dog catchers job in North Platt, Nebraska.
All she wants to do is raise money so she does not have to spend her own on travel, jobs, hotel rooms, maids, and even groceries.
What I so not understand who is dumb enough to send her money in the first place. There are many people that has to be dumber than she for sending their hard earned money or maybe it was given to them by the families estate and they do not have any sense of its worth.

As a life long Dem I hope the new Chickenhawk Republican chant becomes "Run Sarah Run". Should be as effective as "Drill Baby Drill" and as well thought out.
Have you people no shame.....at long last, have you no shame! Our country lanquishes on the brink of truly ending because of having been saddled with the "WORST" administration in our history. With all this misery going on your answer would be to send some silly small time mayor and governor to muck things up even more.
Thankfully the voters of this country finally realized that barroom slogans to serious problems only make things worse.

Ahhh....the stupid dems don't like it when they can't remain the victim. As their Hollywood moviestar, community leader BO said, we have 57 STATES.....stupid dems, and Tina Fey said "I can see Russia from my house" not Governor Palin, Tina Fey should have been elected as VP not JBimo. Dems are so stupid they don't know what is true or a lie. But as their great leader said, we have 57 states!!! I guess they don't teach American History at Harvard. God Bless Governor Palin!

When did I say I was a Palinite? I had asked a question. And what's with the "25% brain dead" poke?

Sarah Palin spare your family and the country any further grief and DO NOT DO IT! If you did decide to run, I am sure Joe the Plumber will be your running mate, tweedle dee and tweedle dum!

I wonder what she really is planning on doing... I think that she wants to be a VP candidate again because maybe she is realizing that she can't be president just yet. Maybe she is getting just a little smarter, although not much.

Are Tripp Trigg Tragg Trapp coming along too?

Now she wants to schmooze with the Washington elite and pal around with President Obama. What a hypocrite.

@James.... we are NOT NOT NOT afraid of her. You Palinites keep trying to infer that. We comment because she is such a laugh we can't help ourselves. By all means run the dimwit in 2012. Just be ready to be dissappointed as BHO is reelected in a landslide. The people that love her are the same 25% (Brain dead) that think Duh-bya did a good job. We want her to run. I will even register as a Republican (while holding my nose) just so I can vote for the Lipstick Fido in teh primaries.

There really aren't enough brain-dead morons in the US to elect this twit, are there?

Every time an article concerning Governor Palin appears here, it routinely attracts five or ten times the number of comments of any other article that day, mainly posted by apparent Democrats. What are you Dems so afraid of, or what is it that makes you so compelled to spout off? Please let me know....

I sense fear in the minds of all those who want Palin to "go away". Eventually the aura that is Obama will disipate and even Bush won't seem quite as bad as he appeared to be. Just wait for the spend, spend, spend mentality to take its toll... TRILLION dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. We're still shaking in our boots and avoid the topic of the 20-30-40-50 TRILLION dollar shortfalls of the looming house of cards that is the pyramid scheme commonly known as "Social Security". Chaos is just around the corner on that topic and it may take a woman like Palin who is willing to say "NO!" to clean up after someone who insists on saying "YES!" regardless of cost.

Duh,,, Well let's all thank God for that statement. Funny how just a few months ago little Sarah had all these small town valves. This lady and the entire GOP is a joke. Go away Idiots.

I am a McCain fan and a strong President Obama supporter ( I voted for him-yes "this one" voted for "that one").

Gov. Palin is someone I would like to meet. I want to ask her if she thinks that I am ready to travel to the moon. After all, I can see it from my house, and I also attended a NASA exploror school. So I know with her rationality on this topic, I'm sure to get her support.

Yes she is a successful govenor, I do give her that, but this woman should have been out of the news Nov. 4, 2008 at 11PM!

She wouldn't have a shot at the White House anyhow. Bottom line.

There are so many that have their eyes on the White House. I guarantee you, that a lot of you will see the Red House, Hell.

God Bless Governor Palin and her family! Palin 2012 or Sooner!! As BO's Rev Wright said, God has Dam ed America, For he surly has. Only time will tell, very soon hopelly a true decent American will be in the White House not a community leader who sat in his Pastor's church listening to the evil spew out of his good friend's mouth....I guess the 67 million who voted for BO like that evil talk.

It's funny that because there was an Africian American man was elected to be Commander in Chief everyone is expecting him to cure all problems. What happened to the 43 Caucasian men elected before him, more recently BUSH? He screwed with country royally and walked away as if nothing was wrong. What makes Palin so qualified? The fact that she cannot speak a clear sentence? Or, that it took her 6 years to get a journalism degree? Or that she can run the state of Alaska, but can't run her own household? Please tell me.

I am not believing for second she isn't planning to run. She is just attempting to make herself look more viable in the years to come. I'm afraid she is going to be haunting us for a long, long time.

Sen. McCain may have served this country with distinction, but he sure did do us a huge disservice by letting this pandora out of the box!

For that I will never forgive him…

(and cnn.com think you might actually take this post out of waiting for moderation mode?!)

Oh God, Outspoken. Come out of your trailer and see the light.

I can see it now...Sarah Palin in 2012 and Joe the Plumber as her VP! God help us!

PLEASE DON'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT! With the pax, max, fember, OH I get all those darn kids names and not to mention, drop out of school daughter... The world would never view Americans as sane if we ever elect her for President. For a person who doesn't want the lime light and hate the media, she sure as heck can't keep her mouth shut.

Who's keeping an eye on Russia?

I wondered whom the media would bash once Pres. Bush left office...

Well....just the fact that she is preparing to run for President and is receiving support from the Republicans speak volume for that group of folks. If that is the best they have, great!!! She performs like an idiot. I hope the mentoring and tutoring are helpful, but so far there is little or no proof either is working for her.

My family watched Gov. Sarah Palin's address of States of AK thou C-SPAN on Jan. 27, 2009. Her very detailed plan to increase of revenue thou energy independent in AK as well as a nation has highly amazed and gives us sort of hope. So far, Obama economic team has reported that how we'll spend one trillion dollars which send $360,000,000 for help of ABORTION which is murder to some countries in Africa and already wasted $150,000,000 for 3 hour the Inauguration as well as Obama will help ACORN which has under investigated by FBI with VOTER-fraud a huge money etc. American, however, have not figured out yet how Obama will increase Federal revenue from energy independent or the others sources. The both ways to spend funds or to increase revenue are available to increase jobs. However, the way to create jobs with spending a huge money that Obama has processed would be temporary ended. The way to create a lot of jobs with raising of revenue through energy independents; natural gas, drilling shores, clean coal, solar, winds that Sarah has implemented is more incessant and secure for Americans. That's why my family fully support Sarah Palin and Sarahpac.com. GO SARAH 2012/2016

We are evidently stuck with this moron forever. At least she has no power, and, most likely, will never have power.... so she will continue to play out her delusions of granduer with no real effect. It's scary she's supported (even admired) in some quarters... these people walk among us. And it's outrageous CNN editors insist upon reporting the movements of this myopic, winking, smug, right wing Barbie Doll. I'd prefer she would just go away (bad for my blood pressure), but that ain't gonna happen.

Why is there so much anger over this woman from the left? The only reason she is so well covered is because of your outrage.

She will go away when you begin to ignore her.

Everyone is too hard on her anyways.

Another lie by Ms. Palin. Of course, the PAC is being set up to garner funds she'll need in order to run for President. Does she think we're all as stupid as she is? Evidently she does.

Her fans should pay close attention to this, for they will find out that's it's just another of the long line of lies she constantly tells.

this woman is so media hungry, maybe they will feed her a little (CROW) ,if she attends that dinner.

She's too stupid to be Miss America. POTUS Palin (The Barbie Edition) is not what our nation needs.

is english her second language?nobody but her and bush can mangle a language like that,and we all know what kind of president he was.we need help from people like that.

The two-faced inconsistencies of Palin’s messages when it suits her are astounding – running vs not running, “reformer” vs. violator of ethics laws (Troopergate), potentially of tax code (reimbursement for staying at home and for modifying forms for children’s travel) – why else the PAC?, improper pipeline bidding to a Canadian company, wanting to make Obama's pastor a campaign issue when she was exorcised from witches by a nutjob pastor, riling up, fomenting and refusing to disavow hate (clan rally, anyone?), making anti-American claims when her husband is a member of a secessionist party and has used her Oval Office, anti-socialist vs. distributor of checks to all Alaskans, plain-values purveyor of transparency when she cleaned out high end stores above and beyond guidelined purchases and had staffers place them on their credit cards, now wants to pal around with Obama. She wants to lead the GOP but can’t answer softball questions regarding any new ideas, is so egotistical that she can’t take any blame for the loss, and doesn’t even realize that the she and the GOP are driving away moderates.

Careful Mr. President, this Palin woman is an inktomi (cunning spider) she is trying to get close to you. She is hoping u will appoint her to something in DC. She will try anything to become president or VP or senator. Look out . She will bring u down if u let her.

She may one day be the female bill clinton.

Cool!
A PAC to pay for her wardrobe!
Sign me up!

I guess there are some powerful people in the CNN editorial board that are major Sarah Palin fans... Personally I would be more interested in reading stories about John McCain. I prefer substance and reporting of newsworthy events to sensationalism and tabloid journalism.

The people who leave comments obsessing about Palin are probably the same morons who follow Paris Hilton. It's what is wrong with America today.

this is for the record, Palin is palling around with someone who palled with terrorist

Palin is just another Amarosa, her 15 minutes are over, and she just won't go away. Palin keeps pretending she's a celebrity, a Diva, Ms. Congeniality, etc. Now Palin thinks she's an elitist...hanging out with the big politician's in D.C., getting her foot in the door for 2012, although I have a feeling the smart ones will just laugh at you. I wonder if Palin was even invited to this dinner, or if she invited herself...I'm sure the latter is true. I bet Obama will cringe when he sees her walk through the door. I hope security keeps her away.

Palin, do us all a favor and stay in Alaska, raise your kids, and run your state! You keep saying you're a "hockey mom", but you continue to prove otherwise. Fancy, expensive dinners with the Polical elite, a new PAC campaign that will send you around the country spending private money to benefit yourself of course, trying to gain ground with the GOP for 2012...need I go on? You're such a hypocrite, but mostly pathetic.

Does anyone else think that we are being "punked"? Are there really that many people who truly believe that she is qualified and capable of being the most powerful person in the world?

Isn't she that woman who was found guilty of abusing her power as Governor? Yep, sounds like a good one to run for President - she'll fit right in w/ the Bush Administration. If Obama does as well as I expect him to (first time I've ever voted for a Democrat for President), I HOPE Palin runs for President and gets the nomination. It'll be a guaranteed win for Obama in 2012 as the only people I've met throughout this past election process who have been Palin supporters were they very extreme whack job fringe of the Republican party and they don't number nearly enough to get that whack job corrupt governor into the Presidency.

Will the PAC pay for her clothes???

Will she ever go away? Will she ever realize that it was she would sealed the deal for gop defeat in November? Come to think of it Sarah, stick around!

Sarah Palin–The gift that keeps on giving.

SARAH PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE TRAVELLING WITHOUT ANY CRACK OR ELSE YOU WILL BE LOCKED UP. DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL IN WASHINGTON DC.

Enough of this imbecilic, brainless Barbie doll!

I see there's an awakening volcano in Alaska. Maybe God is trying to tell her something – not that any of these religious nuts would ever listen. LOL

This is a joke right? Just something to get our attention? Even in 4 years I don't think this woman will be ready to oversee our country, unless she hires a good acting coach!

This PAC can't find anything better to do with their money? Wow, talk about wasteful spending!

Why would she want to attend dinner with the President? After all, isn't she the one that was accusing him of "palling around with terrorists", nearly insighting riots and encouraging hatred towards him during the campaign? How would she be able to understand anything he is saying, they are quite obviously on opposite intellect levels! She is unable to put a correct gramatical sentence together (heaven forbid our kids looking up to her as President), let alone how far backwards this country would go electing an ex-beauty queen to run the most powerful country in the world. What a mockery that would be!!!

The Big Joke Two. The Big Joke One was George Bush.

The republicans have to be sick if they line up behind this lady to be their leader of the future.

The Han, The Rush and The Palin, All three make a perfect mix for further failure of the republican party. Keep pushing you Big Three.

Please stop covering this woman. I'm sick of seeing her and reading about her.

Wow is this loser going to be paling around with a someone who pals around with terriorist? Sound like it to me. With all the hateful things you said about Pres Obama he shouldn't let you lying behind in DC. But being the wonderful, considerate person he is he won't stop you.

No more Palin why is she still on the news CNN?

By all means Sarah, please run for president.
The GOP hasn't been marginalized enough.

And PACs are legal, because why? This method of fund raising is one of the best ways to insure we do NOT get pubic servants who have the interest of the people they are asked to serve. These PACs are great for the special interest groups, large corporate contributors, and lobbyists to gain influence ahead of the people who need to be represented.

If Sarah Palin is the best the GOP can come up with Obama will win in a landslide.

Please Sarah, stay home and take care of your kids.
They obviously need you way more than the people of this country do.

Does this woman ever govern her state? Or raise her children?

How can a person this stupid be a governor? That is what is wrong with this country, we have morons and idiots as representatives.

Sarah, you'll be at the Alfalfa Club dinner like President Obama will be. But you failed to mention that you'll be working in the coat check. You'll never be up to leading this country. Just accept that fact now and move on or better yet, just GO AWAY! (hey there's a volcano getting ready to erupt in your state, go deal with it would you??!!)

PLEASE do...there is no way she will win. Mitt Romney will spend plenty of his millions making her look like the ridiculous twit she is.

GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.
GO AWAY. GO AWAY. GO AWAY.

Well, if Mr. Obama can be a President then why can`t be Paline.

Please run for POTUS in 2012!!! We want 8 years of Obama, not just 4 and your candidacy would guarantee that (if the GOP's congressional shenanigans don't guarantee it anyway).

According to tradition, you cannot say you are not a Presidential candidate unless you REALLY ARE a candidate, and Palin knows that. She will be the standard bearer of the Republican Party as it marches resolutely to the far right – and irrelevancy.

Be careful Gov Palin..I hope that volcano is nowhere near your house.

Ok, I'm no fan of Palin, and I don't think she needs a PAC. But for one of the first times ever, I will say her comment in getting the opportunity to dine with the president, was gracious and humble. For once she was polite. Let's hope the pattern continues, let's hope she doesn't continue her habit of falsely attacking anything and everything (Americans, Media, Muslims, Non Christians, Children, Adults, Democrats, Republicans, Minorities, Majorities, Animals, Environment, Taxes)

Well maybe this will cool off the Palin haters for a while. They will have to find another Republican to bash for awhile

Great move on your part Sarah. You were not one of my favorites, but PAC is a great idea and I hope a lot more political figures will run with the same idea.

So what she respects Obama now? The man she accused of palling around with terrorists??? Of being a socialist? Could she be a bigger hypocrite??

Say it ain't so, Sarah Jo!

This dem was all set to contribute monthly to your run for the WH in 2012.

Now, how are the repubs going to have the dream team in 2012?

Please change your mind.

You betcha' repubs need you.

Palin/Coulter 2012! Now that's the ticket America needs.

This news should be a relief to republicans everywhere.

Palin should run. It's a victory for Obama!

This is somewhat of a misleading title. According to the story, Palin denied that the PAC should be read as if she is already focusing on the White House in 2012. She says it should not be understood to be that way.

It's great to have catchy titles that get people to read, but you'll lose the trust of readers if you have headlines that are somewhat misleading as to what the story is about.

"Now we’ll have an available source of funds so that we’re not coming close to any ethical line to be crossed in terms of travel or participation in events that will help Alaska, but could be seen perhaps as not worthy of state funding,"

I would love to see this sentence diagramed.

Of course she isn't going to confirm she is planning on running...why would she? she may not be the smartest person on the planet but she is fully aware of how the media works...they would start in on her right away....

That's okay I didn't plan to vote for you. Also why would you want to attend a political dinner with a person who you deemed as "unamerican." Get your act together lady.

What a poor excuse...for a Governor. What she should consider is offering the President an apology for slander and bigotry, then sit down, listen and learn something that will seriously help Alaskans who are currently suffering from great need.

Come on Sarah, our party needs you!

Wise decision; she would never win.

"I don't think we need a President that pals around with terrorists."
"...the Washington Elite..."

She seems to have changed her mind about Obama. It "suits" her now to become one of the "pals" and part of the "elite."

She's just another typical politician that will change with whatever wind blows in order to further herself and her agenda.

Sarah Palin needs to run for President. The media and the DNC fear her, and they know that she has the ability to be the next Ronald Reagan.

are we really going to have to listen to 4 years of Presidential speculation and denials? Seriously. Two years was long enough and that was after we had a President in office for 6 years! Obama's been President for 10 days and we are already speculating who's gonna run against him?

Also... she wouldn't need a PAC if she just stayed in her state and did her job like every other governor does... short of Rod Blagojevich...

I went into http://www.adn.com and they have an article that shows otherwise. With the Federal Election Commission, Sarah Palin is signed up for a candidate for President in 2012. Why the conflicting stories? It is devious and misunderstanding for her to say this, when her own newpaper article has stated otherwise. I feel this way, if you lie to deceive the people eventually it will catch up. Enough of the lies, please. Lies is what was costly in the campaign.

Sometimes dreams really do come true...

Good. I'm not supporting her for president either.

1) Someone not running for president = not news.
2) Palin saying she's not running for president = a lie.
3) Palin having dinner with Obama = palling around with someone who pals around with terrorists = you are a hypocrite.

Run, Sarah, Run.

I hope you'll stay on as governor for two terms, get your energy independence plan going, and then run for senate or the presidency, being the first woman to win....something Hillary couldn't do....maybe because she was running from sniper fire in Bosnia.

Lets see, accepting money from people with a political agenda and will expect something back from you so you can do things the State won't pay for........... how could that cross any ethical lines? Duh

No more Palin, PLEASE...

Hey – If I start my own PAC to pay my bills is that ok? Why should I pay with my own money?

Yeah - sounds pretty stupid and superficial, doesn't it?

All the money in the world will not defeat Obama-Biden in 2012.

Of course the fact that SarahPAC's offices are located in Alexandria, VA and not in Alaska is curious. I wonder if it has occurred to her recently that she is still the sitting governor of that state and maybe, just maybe, she should be concentrating her energies to that endeavor. I know if she was the governor of my state and was spending that much time "testing the water" I would be looking for better representation.

You might as well run, Sarah. You are a heck of alot more qualified than what we have right now. There is a reason why the people of Alaska love you and the Washington-insiders and the media hates and fears you. It's because you are genuine and you are a threat to the status quo. SARAH PALIN = REAL CHANGE

Go, Sarah, Go! I hope you DO run for President in 2012! You are a shining star!

Alaskans would rather you stay at home and take care of business

Whew! Thank Goodness. I don't think I could stand anymore winks, "Gee golly's", or "You betcha's". That woman could give Rush Limbaugh diabetes.

Why do news organizations do this. The article says NOTHING about Palin not running for President. It only says that the committee was not formed for the purpose of running for president. Her answer was about the committee, not about her presidential ambitions. Why did CNN put that as a title? come on CNN, do better than this.

And Palin said: "It’s helpful to have a PAC so that when I’m invited to things even like to speak at the Lincoln Day dinner in Fairbanks, to have a PAC pay for that instead of have the state pay for that because that could be considered quasi-political."

Coherent as ever, Barbie. Guess "No Child Left Behind" came along a little late for you. And just how DID you "earn" that journalism degree?

Well that confirms it then. EVERY politician claims for months that they are NOT running for President before they stand up and make an announcement that because of the dire state of the world they must do what deep down they wished they wouldn't have to do and run for President.

Wait until 2011. EVERYBODY says they're not going to run for president before they do.

Like, OK, she is planning to run for that job of president. Because, you know, she really thinks that OK she being goofy and divisive is you know a necessary job qualification. Can she still see Russia?

As a Democrat I urge all Republicans and Conservatives to donate as much money as they can afford to Sarah's PAC. Keep those funds out of the hands of viable presidential candidates!

Does anyone believe that?

Thank God she's not thinking of running for POTUS. This woman is nuts. She pretty much sabotaged her own political career. Calling one part of the U.S. more american than another was political suicide.

Thank you Sarah Palin. Now, would you just shut up and do your job? We've had enough of the "Palin Story of the Week" releases to last us for quite a long time.

She should, she should. This will guarentee Obama a headache free victory in 2012, and he can focus on issues like economy.

Well, if she says so you know its true....
