Sarah Palin's war chest points to 2012 presidential bid

I'm sure that Palins chest is quite large now....whether it is large enough to carry her through the 2012 election is yet to be determined

Just wondering, would you be willing to make a bet that she does not run for president? If you win and she runs for president I'll never post on a political board again... If I win and she does not run for president you never post on a political board again.

Why would I want to bet against the lovely Miss Sarah?

She represents the best the Republicans have to offer

Did you learn to dodge like that from Obama?

Dodge?

Why I have never ceased to root for Miss Palin to be the 2012 GOP nominee. Only Sarah can truly reflect what the Republicans want for AMERICA

I personally think if JakeS isn't a PSA or announcer, he's just posting that stuff just to fun with us.

The opposition party will make gains...it's called what's always happened in the past.

Nah, I am neither, just a fellow poster like you. Yes, I expect the GOP to pick up some seats, not enough to disturb the comfortable majorities the Dems now have. However, here I am not funning, I truly believe that reconciliation is going to used like a hammer by the Dem senate next year, and the Dems will make the Pubs attack the Dems on their own chosen ground. If the Dems handle it right, the GOP won't be back in power until 2030.

Sorry PAS?

I don't know what he is and I don't really care but he is not anywhere in the middle.

Blue are the eyes of an otherwise blindingly perfect Democrat. Red is the evil disfigured color of the distorted mean Republicans... That's about all I get from Jake so far.

Avory that merely means that you can't handle nuanced, that you are not sophisticated in the art of balancing in the center. I hate the far right. I am not fond at all of the far lefties, but the far right, at least as represented in these threads, is a threat to the republic and its future.

Newly published election spending figures show Sarah Palin ended the last quarter with a war chest of more than $1m, suggesting gathering momentum for a run at the White House in 2012.

Her political action committee, a body for raising and distributing election cash, raised $866,000 in the three months from April 1, the most since it was formed in January 2009. She spent about $742,000 over the quarter, most of it on building up her political profile and base support.

Palin, who enjoys the support of the Tea Party and other grassroots activists but is distrusted by the Republican party establishment, has not yet said whether she will stand as a candidate. She and other potential rivals for the Republican nomination would normally begin to make their intentions clear early next year, in the wake of November's Congressional mid-term elections.

But a breakdown of money raised and spent by Palin suggests she is putting in place the political framework for a bid. She spent almost twice as much as in any previous quarter, much of it on speechwriters, private jets for public appearances, and hiring consultants to advise her on domestic and foreign policy, which were embarrassing weaknesses during her vice-presidential run in 2008.

She is also taking on more staff, including for the first time someone to keep control of her schedule. Until now, her organisation has tended to be chaotic.

John Ellis, a conservative political analyst, predicted she would be the de facto Republican frontrunner by December and that, by then, it may be too late for the party to do anything about it. Ellis wrote on his blogsite: "'She's too stupid' is what the Establishment GOP really thinks about Sarah Palin. 'Good-looking,' but a 'ditz'. This is unfertile ground, since Palin can turn the argument on a dime and say: 'They drive the country into bankruptcy, they underwrite Fannie and Freddie, they bail out Goldman Sachs, they fight wars they don't want to win, they say enforcing the immigration laws is silly and they call me stupid! I'll give you a choice: you can have their smarts or my stupidity, which one do you want?' A large number of GOP presidential primary voters will take Palin's "stupidity" in a heartbeat."

1 million dollars doesn't buy one a 15 second advertisement on main stream T.V. channels. It means nothing--

I don't think Palin has any intention of running for POTUS. She's doing great at what she is doing--supporting conservative candidates. She likes it--she can say anything she wants too--without fear of a frivilous law suit. One single sentance from her can get a liberal panties all tied up in a wad--and that's what I call real power.
