Sarah Palin: I'll run if nobody else steps up

[WI_DEM]

Asked by Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren what “would be a reason to run” during an interview Wednesday night, Palin laid out her criteria:

“A reason to run is if nobody else were to step up with the solutions that are needed to get the economy back on the right track and to be so committed to our national security that they are going to do all that they can, including fighting those on the extreme left who seem to want to dismantle some of our national security tools that we have in place,” Palin said.

“If nobody else wanted to step up, Greta, I would offer myself up in the name of service to the public,” Palin added. “But I also know that anybody — anybody — can make a huge difference in this country without a title, without an office, just being out there as an advocate for solutions that can work to get the country on the right track. And that's where I am now.”

1. Advocate for solutions??

What solutions has Palin ever offered? More importantly, she received 7% in the value voters straw poll. Even they are sick of her, yet the media continues to prop her up.

[emulatorloo]

3. Plus there is the whole quitting her job as governor thing.

Being President is hard. Harder than being governor of Alaska.

She's not a viable candidate, but as you say the media keeps promoting her.

[livetohike]

5. You would think the media would be sick of her by now

and yet they keep dragging her into the news as if she is someone important. It's disgusting.

[tanyev]

26. An advocate for solutions....as long as they can be solved in 140 characters or less

[Uzybone]

2. Offer herself up; as if she is a saint or something

Delusional woman.

[treestar]

17. And she claims that whatever she is doing now could make a difference

She doesn't have a title or anything but she can still make a difference! Delusional.

[hatrack]

30. Until it got difficult, then she'd quit

:puke:

[Bitwit1234]

4. She doesn't have to worry about anybody stepping UP

there will be so many republicans stepping up they might crush each other in the stampede.

[racaulk]

7. Yep, you're right.

There will be NO shortages of GOP candidates in 2012.

[Demeter]

10. You Give Me Hope

[leftynyc]

6. I can't believe the ego on this person

Someone who quits in the middle of her job and she'll sacrifice and martyr herself if nobody else is up to the task of running the country. Poor, poor sarah (vomit).

[rocktivity]

8. In which case, the VOTERS will run--

toward the DEM candidate--with all deliberate speed!

:rofl:

[BlueIdaho]

9. Run Sarah Run!!!!!

By 2012 the Teabagger Nation bullshit will be dead and buried. Sarah will speaking in front of the local Quikstop down by the Dairy Queen. Twitter can only take a movement so far...

[Kceres]

19. +1. Not so sure the Teabaggers will be dead by then, but...

Anything to further fracture the GOP. The Repug convention is going to be a blast to watch in 2012 for those of us who can stomach it.

[BlueIdaho]

23. Two years is an eternity in politics...

But you are right, it should be a bloodbath...

[marlakay]

11. she would only do it to promote more books

and money. She knows she would never win and so do the republicans so I don't think honestly they would let her run...I think they would personally take her down themselves. They are using her now to win other elections but they know she would never win the big one. And she is too power hungry to be a puppet like Bush.

[young but wise]

12. Run Sarah run!

Comedy.:rofl:

[COLGATE4]

13. Stupid twit. Her talking about anything is a waste of Oxygen.

[BeyondGeography]

14. Anyone can government!

:silly:

[CanonRay]

15. Beg me! Beg me!

Ohhh, I'm so starved for attention...geez, what an ass.

[treestar]

16. Who wants to dismantle what national security tools that we have in place?

I am of the left and only want to dismantle the ones we don't have in place.

Inane woman.

[PoliticAverse]

18. Follow the Money

Palin needs to keep herself in the public eye to maximize her future earnings.

[Sheepshank]

20. Apparently she still has that hyper word salady talky thing going. n/t

[theothersnippywshrub]

25. $he is so anti-tax, $he is even against syntax. n/t

[Booster]

21. Well, that's mighty big of her.

[spin]

22. If the economy is still in a slump, she might win ...

I personally believe that the recovery will be well under way in 2012.

[theothersnippywshrub]

24. The Whore of Babble-On will not run. $he'$ already $aving the U$A.

[Kolesar]

34. Babble-On

lol

[akbacchus_BC]

27. Why do we talk about that quitter on here? The media is giving her

a lot of exposure, do we need to discuss this quitter on here?

Be very careful, this woman is not going away and she has a huge following. Please do not promote her on here, do remember, a lot of old white guys love this woman.

[GSLevel9]

28. the ONLY way she wins...

is with 10%+ unemployment, a broken economy, 2 ongoing wars, broken promises made to the Democratic base and gridlock in Congress.

oh shit!!!!

[treestar]

29. Why would she win because things got worse?

She brought McCain down when things were worse.

the only way she wins is massive doses of hallucinogens somehow are administered to the voters.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Because Things Were Getting Worse Under A Republi cant Administration

If there is not substantial improvement in the economy things can get really scary.

[besdayz]

31. a

loot at her unfavorables....60 percent.....no matter what they won't vote for her......

when you give up over 1/2 the electorate you're fucked....gingrich has a better chance

[Arkana]

32. She's just so selfless, isn't she?

What a disingenuous puke this woman is.
