The Empire strikes back?
As midterm season’s end draws near, the establishment unites in a single mission –
There is rising expectation among GOP elites that Palin will probably run for president in 2012 and could win the Republican nomination, a prospect many of them regard as a disaster in waiting.
Many of these establishment figures argue in not-for-attribution comments that Palin’s nomination would ensure President Barack Obama’s reelection, as the deficiencies that marked her 2008 debut as a vice presidential nominee — an intensely polarizing political style and often halting and superficial answers when pressed on policy — have shown little sign of abating in the past two years.
“There is a determined, focused establishment effort … to find a candidate we can coalesce around who can beat Sarah Palin,” said one prominent and longtime Washington Republican. “We believe she could get the nomination, but Barack Obama would crush her.”
Me? I think she can win, and if she can’t, why, we’ll see that during a marathon primary fight.
Interesting to see the idea of “GOP elites” which foreshadows “conservative elites” and everything else that will come on the road to 2012.
It was hilarious watching Greta van Susterin and Sarah Palin talk about it.
Fun having Palin do Fox News all the time.
Could there be four parties running in the next Presidential election?
There are always 4 parties, but typically two drop out after the primaries. Maybe not next time…
There are three at most after primary season.
Three only if people see political blood in the water, tho’.
