    This woman is a lunatic. A hateful and ignorant woman.

    Repugs – REALLY?

    You're really convinced there's enough ignorance left in America to elect that?

    REALLY?

    Maybe this time she'll take on Jerry Seinfeld or another comedian for some comment that she didn't like. She proved that she can beat Letterman. Yeah, she'd make a great world leader.

  13. please go away

    Hopefully the announcement will be that she plans to stay in Alaska and the lower 48 won't have to hear her name and her garbled whining ever again.

    Pitbull with Lipstick? She's a Chihuahua with lipgloss.

    If this announcement ends up being a run for President, the USA will be the laughing stock of the world. If she would ever become President, I would leave this Country and never come back.

  16. Get her to Shut UP already

    Can someone please stop the presses and tell this idoit to shut the heck up. She is a total disgrace.............!!!!!

    When I hear that there will be rationing of healthcare,and that the econ is out of control with Obma in office,I wonder who is talking.I guess empty headed fools,are we not rationing healthcare now...,i.e. Only the ones who have the means to pay for it are getting it at this moment,was not the econ: in a mess just six months ago,come on give me a break.Use your common sense.All the just say no people are using every tactic they can think of to make Obma look like a failure.It's the same old same old thing they have been doing for what
    three decades.

    Sarah can't help herself. Our beloved MJ was getting to much attention in the last week and she was seen stomping and screaming that she is being ignored for a true Genius!!!!!!

    Oh be still my heart.....What will it be this time? She and the first dude will be having another child with a stupid name? What's her name (the unwed mother, aka a financial "parasite") is pregnant again? She's killed another moose via helecopter?

    Who cares? I, for one, don't care what this idiot of a politician says. It's time for the media to move on to reporting on people that can actually make a difference in our world, not create soap opera/Jerry Springer material.

    July 3, 2009 02:31 pm at 2:31 pm |

    I know it's wishful thinking but I'd love her announcement to be "I'm moving to Russia."

  55. Donkey Party

    And if it were important or relevant, you wouldn't announce anything on a Friday, especially bafore a holiday weekend. What is she going to do, announce her support for our troops again? Give it a break CNN, you guys are no different than the National Enquirer.

    July 3, 2009 03:06 pm at 3:06 pm |

    Sarah Palin will announce that Alaska has suceeded from the Union and she has been crowned their queen.

    After Obama wrecks the country and plunges it deep into debt, Sarah Palin and her Alaskan record of no-nonsense conservative governmental accomplishments is a rising star sorely NEEDED by this sinking nation! Go Sarah!

    Sarah Palin will whup that Obama and his ragtag army of acorn malcontent ignoramusses (that hang around the CNN boards spewing irrational hatred)– you betcha!

    It's amazing how many don't see that she was not utilized properly. She does deserve a certain amount of critique, come'n did she not understand that we were talking about THE VICE – PRESIDENT SLOT! She wasn't ready, to keep going at this says alot more about us at this point. Mrs. Palin stop second-guessing, go with YOU.

    July 3, 2009 03:21 pm at 3:21 pm |

    It is amazing how many liberals hate Sarah Palin. There is more that they hate than her politics, they hate her Christian faith.This animosity is based on fear of a Bible believing Christian aspiring to political office. God forbid we have any moral absolutes in this land, and we hear constant complaints of immorality on Wall St. and rightly so, however you can't expect people in the business community to have any sense or right and wrong, if society does not embrace the Judeo Christian standard of our founding fathers. Take that you hypocritical double standard bearing, moral-less Liberals. God have mercy on us.

    I truly can not understand how any educated American could support Sarah Palin in politics at any level. We live in a frightening age when someone who once asked how to get rid of books she didn't approve of from her local library can be taken seriously. I thought her 5 minutes were up. I truly do not understand the star-atttraction – even a train wreck gets old after seeing it enough.

  66. christopher

    Maybe we'll get lucky, she'll run and get elected pres in '12. Then she can slap her socialistic windfall tax on oil and gas companies over all of the U.S.- not just in Alaska.....Wait, that won't work- better include all energy companies just to be sure. And if you don't think her tax on oil/gas was socialistic, learn more about her and about socialism.

    ummm.... so what are YOU doing if not "hanging around the CNN boards" spewing your own version of hate?

    hypocrites for palin. yay.

    For all of you been so unfair to Gov Sara Palin, do you all have a steady job and paid taxes. Because if you are been talking without knowing the responsibilities you have as an American you shoud not be so rude and uggly with your comments. This Lady deserves respect from all of us as others who in someway serve this Great Country. I hope Gov Palin does becomes more involve in the next election, she definetly have my vote, Go Sarah.......

    Bigot Liberals have to be shaking in their panties...... Sarah is going to be a voice for the the RIGHT (minded) people of this country.... Hopefully she will be there to counter everything that Barry and his gang try to pull over on the good American people.

    The thought of Palin even running for the Presidency makes my skin crawl.. none the less being President. I know our country has deteriorated but I can't believe to that extent. Where are her advisors? Palin is an embarrassment to women!!
