It sounds like Democrats are falling into the trap of attacking "Sweet Sarah." Won't we regret it! #2008

She must be low on funds now that her reality show prospects have dried up. Time to get back to grifting and pretend to be running for president.

I expect her to crash the Ames Straw Poll and maybe drive her big American Flag and Constitution vinyl-wrapped RV around New Hampshire trolling the hell out of Mitt and Jeb.

[Suburbia]

She's tough and no nonsense, but she can't win nationally.

[Likely Voter]

She's tough and no nonsense, but she can't win nationally.

no nonsense? Did you listen to her speech yesterday?

[hopper]

Not that I think she'll run, but it looks like 2016 could be worse for the GOP than 2012.

No its not gonna be as bad as 2012 I don't think. The GOP has much better candiates in terms of quality than in 2012. It was basically just Romney and that was it in 2012.

Palin is so 2010-2012 though I have to say maybe even just 2010. She is only good for an endorsement though. She can't run for anything herself and win nowadays.

[Jerseyrules]

This reminds me of the video she posted in 2008 literally the day after the election saying she'd consider running for President in 2012.  It's all about them speakin' fees.

[Lincoln Republican]

With all the talents, gifts, and abilities John McCain has, being President of the United States is not one of them.

In this day and age, the number one criteria a Presidential nominee in picking a Vice Presidential nominee has to be is to pick someone who has the capability of being President.

With his pick of Palin in 2008 McCain proved he lacked the judgment and ability to be President.

Far be it from me to defend Sarah Palin, but before she completely exploded during Katie Couric, she was a really good barnstormer for the campaign.  She gave a hell of a speech at the 08 convention despite her teleprompter breaking halfway through.  And McCain was leading in polling as late as September.

Turned out that when she was actually pushed on the facts she's a paper tiger, but until she had to demonstrate actual

knowledge

she was shaping up to be a decent choice (politically speaking).  Then after the financial collapse even an endorsement from Jesus Christ himself couldn't save McCain.

"no nonsense" as  in clueless and insensitive.

Actually supports my statement.

All I'm saying is she was a decent choice politically, if she'd been handled better.  Not saying she'd be qualified to be president, but she fired up the base

[Clarence Boddicker]

Must need some money.

[Mehmentum]

I'm certain that she won't actually run, but then again I was certain that Romney wouldn't run and that didn't turn out so well.

"Nevermind that she has absolutely zero grasp of even basic policy concepts, and is completely lacking in knowledge of current affairs...she was an excellent choice for the mouthbreathers in the base!"
