Sarah Palin is thinking about a 3rd Party candidacy in 2016.

[Brittain33]

She's keeping open the option of running a 3rd party vanity candidacy if Republicans choose a non-Tea-Party-endorsed candidate in 2016.

Consider the evidence:

She hasn't actually said she's considering running as a third party candidate, just that it would be a good idea.

A third party bid would make sense for her, just as a way to get free media while preserving her brand. Although organization is not her strong suit, and that's essential.

[Tender Branson]

Typical Sarah Palin-ish attention whoring.

Will she ever go away ?

[Bull Moose Base]

Even Republicans and Hillary-haters should root for a Bush-Clinton-Palin race. Imagine that debate. Too amazing to resist. If you are not rooting for it, shame on you.

Of course, we all want Sarah Palin to run for President because she's a compelling buffoon.  We want to see the media circus and resulting disaster.  It would be great.  But, at this point, there's no reason to get your hopes up.  It's like your crazy uncle who's had 10,000 crazy ideas about how he's going to start a million dollar business.  Sure, once he has that giant Alpaca farm, you want to go and pet the Alapacas.  But, until then, it's just a bunch of talk.  It's the same with Sarah Palin.

At this point, Sarah Palin is an honorary Kardashian.  She's a dumb loud woman and nobody really knows what her job title is besides famous person.  She's not a writer, a talk show host, a politician, or a thinker.  She's just an annoying lady from Alaska.

Exactly. I'm really looking forward to Tina Fey's parodies.

I'm tots rooting for it. Even better if she picks Ted Cruz as her running mate. They can even start their own political party: Free Texas & Alaska Party! (Or Texas & Alaska Independence Party)

That assuming she can crask 15% in the polls, a requirement to be allowed to debate. And that can be very difficult.

I'm sure that if Palin were to run as a third party candidate she'd pull at least 15% in the polls.

LOL, the Quitta from Wasilla is butthurt that her candidates went down in flames in Mississippi and Oklahoma. Now she wants to take her ball and go home.

Run Sarah run!

I doubt it. Her fanbase is extremely loud but also somewhat small. When she was included in polls for the GOP primary in 2011 she rarely cracked 15%.

[Likely Voter]

maybe she will go on another one of those bus tours and attention whore/troll the whole campaign.

True... and considering the Republicans only made up 32% of the electorate in 2012, Palin would only get about 5 percent of the vote in the general election, unless she somehow picks up some Independent voters. That wouldn't even reach Perot's level of support.

[BaconBacon96]

That would be hilarious if she ran. She should do it.

[The Mikado]

I hope she runs, then drops out of the race midway through, in an homage to her one half of a term as governor.

[whanztastic]

No she's not.

Didn't you know? She could see the end of her term from her governor's mansion. And it wasn't a pretty sight.

[Brittain33]

No she's not.

Do you have an alternative explanation for her musings?

I'm rooting for it. I can think of nothing else that would so clearly drive home to so many how much of a fraud the "democratic" nature of American government is.
