Default Iowa Palin group to run ad encouraging her to run

Will air on TV in Iowa...certainly understandable given the miserable showing of Republican candidates thus far...god help me but I think she could be their best bet!


"(CNN) - A pro-Sarah Palin group will start airing TV ads Wednesday in Iowa, urging the former Alaska governor to reconsider her decision against running for president.

Palin announced she wouldn't launch a White House bid in early October, ending years of speculation that the 2008 GOP vice presidential running mate might seek the Republican nomination in 2012.

Conservatives4Palin, a large online group, made the ad buy for $6,500.

The group said the ad will air for a week in Sioux City, with spots during ABC's "Good Morning America" and "Dr. Oz," as well as during local news programs in the evening.

This will be the first television ad the group has run since Palin announced her decision on Oct 5."

Palin has become a media joke but she could turn that around by playing to her strengths...(1) she is still the best known of the Republican choices, (2) she has a "homey" way about her that many folks are drawn towards, and (3) she is an attractive female (shouldn't matter but anyone who is truthful will admit it does). She must avoid the "poor me, the liberal media has it in for me" stuff and could do that by ignoring same, and she must also avoid specifics whenever possible (a natural predisposition of all politicians). The Republican field is so weak that she could easily win the nomination by simply avoiding blunders.

Not strong enough.



She is now the poster girl for ditz.

And is the personified counterpart of the arrogant prick---which is the consummate cu.nt.

in addition to her many obvious flaws, she's done no fundraising or organizing. do you seriously think she could start a 50 state campaign with delagate selection beginning in about 6 weeks and take the nomination away from someone who has money in the bank and feet on the ground where it counts?

her chances went to zero when she wasn't fundraising or organizing last spring. this is the flip side of "obama won't run to clear the way for hillary in 2012". it's fantasy.

she's an empty headed beauty queen. her ambition was to be famous and rich. she's done both. why would she run for president and relive the humiliation of 2008?

i give her credit for at least having the sense to know her limitations. i'll miss her laughable factual blunder's but we'll still have rick perry and michelle bachmann for a few more weeks of comic relief.

Palin's "homey" manner has pretty much turned into nasty raging victim witch, like Newt. That - which is Cain's only strength, his ability to denounce "the others", btw - is Palin's only strength. But don't forget, even Roger Ailes threw her under the bus this year. She's gone.

Herman and Newt are on book selling tours. Perry is for those that think George Bush was too intellectual. The only chance the GOP has is to beat Obama would be to run Huntsman, but it's Mitten's year.

she wouldn't have a shot in hell at winning the white house, thank goodness. if she's the republicans best bet, they need to go the way of the federalist, whig and know-nothing parties.

as for her strengths....the only reason she remains on the radar at all is she's good looking, which isn't typical of a pol.

Winning the White House? Only if unemployment spikes! But she is popular (if you are a right wing Republican) and has been wise enough to stay on the sidelines and watch the circus thus far. Obviously far from an intellectual but to be branded such is not a way to connect with the average Joe who is more interested in her breasts than her mind. She needs to temper her "bitchiness" and concentrate on being seen as a kinder, gentler soul but compared to Newt and Romney (the only two left standing at this point), she is more likeable!
