Palin tells ABC she can beat Obama in 2012

[derby378]

If she decides to run for president in 2012, Sarah Palin thinks she can beat President Obama. That's according to an interview the ex-Alaska governor conducted with ABC's Barbara Walters.

Echoing her comments to the New York Times Magazine, Palin tells Walters that she's seriously considering a 2012 run.

Oh, here we go... :silly:

[KansasVoter]

1. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Run!!!

[Bobbieo]

4. And, what are you going to do if she wins?

[derby378]

6. "IF"

Obama just needs to step up to the plate, and Sister Sarah's campaign is over.

[KansasVoter]

9. +1000

[KansasVoter]

7. There is not a 1% chance that idiot will win! And someone has to run! You would rather have Romney?

[AlinPA]

24. This country is dumbed down so much now that with 10 billions and the media behind

her, the chance increases a lot.

[donheld]

47. Be very very careful what you wish for

Remember right wing MSM, Citizen's United, and George W Bush.

[tabatha]

2. hahahahahaha

[malaise]

3. She thinks it's another

beauty contest.

[A wise Man]

16. Where's the BEAUTY?????????????

[malaise]

23. In her delusional mind

Remember she was the runner up in the Miss Alaska pageant. :evilground:

[bdamomma]

34. ...............

Ha! oh boy, Tina Fey will pulverize her!!! I love when Tina plays her.

[Liquorice]

5. Well if she didn't think she could beat him, she wouldn't run, so that makes sense. I don't think

she has a chance though. The GOP establishment seems to dislike her, so she will not get the full support from them, and the tea party is relatively small and doesn't have the funds to support a presidential candidate. I hope she does run because I think it will be fun--definitely more amusing than if someone like McCain ran.

[islandmkl]

10. you are using the word 'think' rather liberally...

when it comes to sp...

[A wise Man]

20. oh oh...

the tea partiers don't have a pot to piss in..but will do any and everything to stop Obama from helping them. GOOD FOR THEM...RETHUG THROW BACKS

[David__77]

8. She absolutely will never be elected president.

If she did, the fortunes of the left would soar globally, but it will never be in the cards because it would be a disaster for US capitalism. Interestingly, we are living in a time when any administration is becoming untenable by either party.

[mrs_p]

11. if i trusted the american public

i would be giddy about this -- oh the drinking games we could have! but after bush (whether elected or usurped), i will never underestimate the stupidity of americans.

[A wise Man]

18. I agree....

the american people have become aliens to reality. After this pass election is a perfect example. If that "B" wins a presidency ..it will be like launching a warhead on ourselves.

[bdamomma]

37. omg, aliens to reality!! I like it

oh crap we will the laughing stocks of the world if that delusional woman gets in.:puke:

[Caliman73]

27. There is a difference there.

Bush, by birth was granted immense power and status beyond his capabilities. The man is worthless, but he is a member of one of the most powerful families in modern American history. His family has connections that were instrumental to his campaign and the decision to install him as president.

Palin is equally stupid as Bush Jr. is. She has a similar personality, but alas she is just a celebrity. She generates news and views, but she has NONE of the behind the scenes power that Bush and his family has. That is why I think that she will never get anywhere near to the White House as Bush did.

Stupidity is not the worst enemy of Americans. We have always had an element of stupidity in this country. Apathy is the worst enemy. Obama and the Democrats need to have a message and get people motivated to vote. People staying home gives a person like Palin the best chance of winning.

She will always have her die-hard, stupid following, but that is nowhere near enough to win an election without considerable help by apathetic Democrats.

[missheidi]

12. The majority of Repubs that I know...

have said that they would vote for Obama instead of her in 2012.

[WinkyDink]

13. And to think Dan Quayle was ridiculed. WHAT GIVES THIS DAME THE HUBRIS??

[spanone]

14. sarah, and 85 to 95% of the media, might pull it off

[Gabi Hayes]

15. beat him how?

off?

[Pisces]

17. STupid is as stupid does. THis woman is so delusional, that she believes her fans.

She believes she has a mandate from God to save this country. This is who we want to have the nuclear codes???

I would rather have Paris Hilton sitting behind the desk.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. I am fairly certain she will run, her ego won't allow her to pass this by

[Booster]

21. Come on, Grizzly Mama, put your money where your mouth is.

[LawnKorn]

22. Delusional

Sarah Palin has a mental defect if she thinks she can win the Presidency. Plus she is just too blame stupid to win a national election.

[Skinner]

25. Bring. It. On.

:thumbsup:

32. She is a complete idiot and she cannot win in a world with any rationality.

She should not be discounted, but there is extremely limited chances for her to win. She just does not have the following to win. She doesn't have the skills to lead anything more than a cult following. As long as the Democrats do not become completely complacent and apathetic, she has no chance to become president.

[w8liftinglady]

35. you are probably right on both counts.do you support her?

I'm curious as to what about Mrs. Palin makes her competent to be President of the United States.I would like to hear your opinion.

[Hepburn]

28. Would it be because of the fancy pageant walking???

:rofl:

[krabigirl]

29. Yeah right..she will fail worse than o donnell and Whitman did. She is a joke.

31. you are, though, and with a very pretty, very oxymoronic sobriquet, at that.

[Caliman73]

33. She is in fact, a joke.

She has no class, a street hustler's mentality, no intellectual curiosity, and no game plan. To her everything is a business opportunity and becoming the President is not a business. She will always have a rabid following of the equally inane, but she does not have what it takes to become president and never will.

[superduperfarleft]

41. You said "inane." I think you meant "insane." n/t

[Caliman73]

42. Well...

:toast:


I will definitely grant you that she is insane, as are her followers, but I did mean inane as a follow up to the fact that she has no substance, no plan, and no skills. She is an empty suit and her followers are as empty headed as she is.

[superduperfarleft]

43. I know what you meant. Just picking at you.

Personally, I think both work just fine.

[DeschutesRiver]

45. Agreed, and worse, she will now be just another reality tv "star" in people's minds

Maybe she can convince Snookie to join her on the ticket as VP.

Or since Bristol is doing that condom commerical with The Situation, perhaps she can persuade him to be number 2 on the ticket for her mom in return for some "fancy stripper walking" like she's been doing in Dancing with the Stars.

I'm just not seeing it anymore - she's always been everything you said, but now she's demoted herself by her TLC show and I don't even think she realizes what she's done in adding "reality tv star" to her resume right beside "1/2 term governor".

[lise]

36. let her run.

It'll make the Primaries waaay more interesting and, in the end, she'll be Primaried out.

I look forward to this.

ETA: For the first time in my life, I'll be watching the Republican Presidential Primaries.

Must. See. TV.

[lovemydog]

38. Yeah, and pigs will fly

She fails to understand that most Americans view her as a corporatist idiot.

[bluedigger]

39. I was sooo hoping the title would end in "basketball"....

:rofl:

Bring your A game, Sarah, if you have one...

[superduperfarleft]

40. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

:rofl:

Um, no.

[MrScorpio]

44. I wonder if she knows that right wingers can only vote ONCE during an election nt

[cbdo2007]

46. She was saying she could beat Obama within just a few months of losing to him the first time.

[Blue_In_AK]

48. People keep asking if Sarah's going to run for president.

I keep saying she's been running since August 2008. That woman's delusional.
