2012: Palin endorses � someone like her

ANGLE: Politico reports that while Sharron Angle is in town for the screening of “The Genesis Code,” she’ll also appear at a fundraiser for the New Hampshire Liberty Caucus.

DANIELS: Jeb Bush “told a private gathering of Jacksonville business leaders that Daniels is the only potential candidate he's heard who demonstrates a willingness to face up to harsh realities,” the Florida Times-Union writes. “‘Mitch is the only one who sees the stark perils and will offer real detailed proposals,’ he said, speaking at a reception held before he took the stage in front of a crowd of real estate professionals.”

PALIN: Appearing at a business leaders’ gathering in Long Island yesterday, Sarah Palin did not say whether she would run for president, “but she did suggest that the presumed candidates for 2012 might not have the intensity that voters are demanding,” the New York Times writes.

In her speech, Palin couldn’t say whom she’d endorse if she doesn’t run in 2012, but her description of that person sounds an awful lot like … her. “I don’t have a name to give you right now,” she said, “but what I would look for in terms of character and in terms of experience would be someone who's been on the front lines understanding what it is, how to administer and how to lead a team and how to run a business. So that person you know, oh gosh, I think, you know nobody is more qualified really to multitask and do all the things that you need to do as president than a woman and a mom. So, I would, adding that all up what I would look for is somebody who is, let’s start off with, a woman, a mom, somebody who's administered locally, state, interstate, with energy issues, so maybe a mayor, a governor, an oil commissioner, maybe someone who's already for vice president.”

HUNTSMAN: Huntsman’s brother told Reuters, per The Hill, that he hopes a decision will come from his brother on whether he’ll run “in the next couple of weeks.” He doesn’t resign as Obama’s ambassador to China until April 30.

Former Gov. Buddy Roemer at a 2008 campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

ROEMER: In an interview with Baton Rouge, LA, NBC affiliate WVLA, former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, 67, says he’s considering a bid for president. “I'm in process of seeing whether it's a winnable idea," he said. And he’s vowing not to take any contributions of more than $100. "American’s are hurting. Washington is a boomtown. Why is that? The money. We’re going to take money out of Washington and fill it with people… With a $100 limit every woman and every man every citizen of America can be right at the top with participation."

ROMNEY: The former Massachusetts governor “stopped by to say hello to some old friends in the [Utah] legislature” on Thursday, ABC 4 reports.

SANTORUM: “Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is returning to South Carolina for a 10th trip as he considers a run for president,” the AP writes. “His announced events start Monday with a speech at a Republican women's club dinner in Spartanburg. On Tuesday, he plans to greet voters at Tommy's Ham House in Greenville and visits to a school in Greenville and a pregnancy center in Spartanburg.”

Boring. None of the above will be the GOP nominee for 2012. Talk about lackluster.

Palin endorses someone like her? Does she mean someone who has no real grasp of the problems facing this country? Or, someone like her who says whatever pops into their head at any given time? Or, maybe someone like her who is unqualified for any office? Why is Palin even in the news, other than possibly "News of the Weird"?

Well, I see the groupthink morons are still parroting the false narrative about Governor Palin that has been spoon fed them.

You are in for a surprise. Just check the comments from yesterday's moderator (democrat) Kevin Law. Once people see the real person instead of the false caricature they will flock to support her. Everyone knows this, that's why she alone is attacked and ridiculed endlessly.

They did the same thing to Ronald Reagan in 1980.

The bad news for Obama; only idiots and simpletons are falling for it now. She will win the nomination in a cakewalk and the White House in a landslide. Prepare for liberal heads exploding...3, 2, 1, ...

We've had a 2 1/2 year barrage of all things Palin and Palin clan! We've seen the real person and she's woefully incomplete and lacking in everything but a nose for publicity! She makes Reagan look like Einstein! Only a moron would find this woman suitable. As John Houseman would say, she got her 12% popularity the old-fashioned way - she EARNED it!!

Congratulations.

You have just parroted the false narrative perfectly.

You are in for a surprise. No need to debate this, you will see. BTW, how did that amiable dunce Reagan turn out? Oh yeah, two terms and one of the most admired presidents of all time.

The left tells us who they fear by who they denigrate.

Like a crucifix to a vampire, Governor Palin's inherent goodness and character causes banal and vituperous evil snarks to shriek in horror!

We've heard enough word salads and 24/7 hate from Palin to know that she's an ingornat loser. We don't need the media to show us who she really is. Sarah has always been about one thing...money. She will say or do anything if the price is right. Those of you from the C of Pee who lurk here, keep sending her your money...fools.

Teledude....there is NOTHING good about the lying quitter. Yesterday she proved once again, that she's completely ignorant to the issues of this country. Even having the questions prior to her interview didn't help, she still came across as an idiot. Her jealousy of the first lady is revealing her mental illness to be much worse than we originally thought. I think this is because she knows she will NEVER be as educated or as classy as Michelle. Sarah has nothing to offer ...except maybe to all of your middle aged, lonely old men who got off yesterday..trying to look at her crotch via her short skirt. Once again, Sarah's attire was 100% inappropriate. Sarah is an ignorant disgrace.

    I think a reason why Mrs. Palin is always on the front page every time she utters something is that she is extremely easy on the eyes. If she were short fat and ugly and had the same i.q. for politics and how the country is run, or even her knowledge of the country and the world no one would care what she said.

      Regardless of how one views Palin, an odd phenomenon has occurred at MSNBC (and the Left) - they simply cannot stop talking about her. They may try, but fail miserably.

      Chris Matthews has developed a psychological condition about her - he even confessed (the other night) that he talks too much about her (I give him credit for saying it).

      Can you imagine if Palin actually beat Obama... we would witness on live TV the heads exploding of the entire crew at MSNBC.

      Teledude,

      Spoon fed morons? I like that, shows your intelligence. Unlike you, I have actually listened to her. She says whatever will make her some headlines and airtime, whether there is any truth in the statement or not. Here is a hint, when a comedienne (Tina Fey) can take her own words, with nothing added or taken away, and make an audience laugh, there may be a problem. When you get confused when someone asks you a highly technical question, such as "What newspapers do you read?" and there is a blank expression on your face, you may have a problem. When you claim foreign policy experience because you can see a deserted island off the coast of Russia from a deserted island off the coast of Alaska, you may have a problem. If you tak ALL of these things and put them into one person, you have a large joke.

      Tina Fey has never quoted Governor Palin.

      That's the problem, groupthink morons can't differentiate between a comedy skit and reality. Anyone so easily confused probably shouldn't even vote, but then again, if it weren't for misinformed sheep, there would be no democrats.

      That's okay, your fantasy world will come crashing down November 2012.

      I just hope the cognitive dissonance doesn't cause you great depression.

I call this hypocrisy when no one is allowed to speak a negative word about the quitter at the C of Pee, however, you beg Sarah's sick base cult to troll the intenet leaving your sick comments about others.

        Governor Palin is a reflecting pool of liberal pathology.

        Her shining character causes progressives to see their flaws reflected in the light of her goodness. It's called psychological projection.

        Those lacking intelligence will scream, 'She's stupid!"

        Those lacking sanity will scream, "She's crazy!"

        Those lacking achievement will scream, "She's unqualified!"

        Those lacking civility will scream, "She's divisive!"

        It's quite entertaining to watch them self identify. I'd like to thank those on here who have stepped up and done so, now we know you a little better.

        Teledude...you're as sick as the quitter! Shining character? What a joke. Sarah is the biggest con artist to ever walk the streets of America. She has no plans to run for president, however, she will tease her sick base for as long as possible. She is smart enough to know that the minute she admits she is not running...her cash cow will die. Keep sending her your money, you fool.

            BarbiePalin, going by my premise, it looks like you must be a person of very low character, probably a con-artist.

            Not surprising considering what a hateful person you seem to be.

            Thanks for the insight. I feel bad for your family though.

              See how childish that is? Making fun of a person's speech pattern is a sign you have no valid argument.

                  Its ALWAYS refreshing to see and read someone who tries valiantly, but, unsucessfully to defend the undefendable. If you truly believe that Palin is that good, then vote for her, but, do not expect her to get very many votes. You do prove, beyond any doubt, the old comment "A mind is a terrible thing to waste".

                      Going by the intellectual level of comments on here, I have to agree with you about your wasted mind quote.

                      Very apropos for this site.

                      Some of you guys go from ironic to moronic pretty quickly...

                      Did you check out any of the video, or comments from the moderator from yesterdays event? We're two years out, and perceptions can change drastically in that time. Just like they did in that room yesterday.

                      Governor Palin is lucky, as she has truth on her side. She is not the caricature she is portrayed to be. I understand that is a hard concept for liberals to comprehend, as they haven't been told that by their programmers...but the bright ones will catch on eventually.

                      Not that they will vote for her, but they will begin to understand why the establishment elites of both parties fear her so.

                      And that makes me smile.

The good thing is...she alienated most of the women in America yesterday with her ignorant comment about breast feeding. Evangelical women all over the country are leaving their comments about how disappointed they are in Sarah. Sarah's interview yesterday was once again, epic failure. Sarah's very small base is shrinking while President Obama is soaring!
