Sarah Palin Is Exploring A White House Bid, Too

FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE EYES 2016 RACE  …

|| By FITSNEWS || Just when you thought the parade of “Republican” retreads was at an end … along comes Sarah Palin.

The former Alaska governor (and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee) said this weekend she is “seriously interested” in running for the presidency in 2016.

Like, “absolutely.”

“You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested,” Palin told The Washington Post during a visit to early-voting Iowa, where she was addressing a gathering hosted by the state’s “Republican” congressman, Steve King.

Well, well … we’ve got Mitt Romney, Donald Trump and now Palin all throwing their names into the presidential mix.  Seriously … who’s next?  Newt Gingrich?  Bob Dole?

In addition to her Iowa visit, Palin also taped a video greeting for attendees of the 2015 South Carolina Tea Party Coalition convention in Myrtle Beach, S.C. last week.  That’s the gathering jilted by S.C. governor Nikki Haley – a two-time Romney backer who owes Palin a huge debt of gratitude given how the latter’s 2010 endorsement helped propel Haley to the governor’s mansion.

If Palin runs, will Haley help her?

Don’t count on it …

Our take on Palin?  Eh …

“She’s an occasionally effective critic of the administration of Barack Obama, sure, but so are dozens of other talking heads,” we wrote last summer.  “Palin had a chance (several chances, actually) to emerge as a substantive figure on the national political scene … and didn’t.”

We don’t see the 50-year-old’s prospective 2016 presidential bid as doing anything to change that perceived lack of gravitas … although we do respect her willingness to call out the GOP establishment for its betrayal of taxpayers.

In fact were Palin more substantive on policy issues, she’d be one hell of a third party candidate …

UPDATE: Or … not. Yikes.

Bravo, the GOP continues its running gag from 2008. Conservative comedy doesn’t tend to be successful but Sarah Palin is quickly chipping away at that!

Did you hear her ‘speech’ in Iowa this past week? Bitch is on Adderal or something. Totally tweaking.

Reply
guesty January 26, 2015 at 12:08 pm

It was the strangest word jumble speech she has given to date. She didn’t even make much sense when she spent ten minutes talking about herself and her woes with the media. Read afterwards (aka damage control) that supposedly the teleprompter froze and she had to wing it. You know it was batshit crazy when Erick Erickson says her speech was best left being uncommented on.

As much fun as she pokes at Obama for using teleprompters, any time she goes off script it always ends up being one giant word salad.

Not true. My ‘sources’ tell me something is wrong with her.
Lets just call it a 2015 ‘October’ Surprise, shall we?
Anyway, America doesn’t need a brain injured, fat ass, socialist lesbian as President who has been responsible for ISIS and the elimination of any coherent foreign policy,the deaths in Bengazi and OH MY, poor Vince Foster.
She should have stayed home and baked cookies-she has been WORTHLESS as a 1st lady and public servant.

Rocky January 26, 2015 at 1:15 pm

I for one would think we should give a Lesbian President a try – can’t be worse than a boozed up coke-head former oil executive who mooched off his rich family.

Farley Chickson January 26, 2015 at 1:28 pm

Was that worse than electing a ‘closet’ Muslim with a marxist world-view that has turned our foreign policy over to the Radical Islamists, sided with our enemies on policy decisions and whose idea of ‘transforming’ America is instituting government healthcare while destroying the moral and cultural foundations in this country.

Bush made mistakes but he was a patriot and loved this country.
Obama? Never made a mistake. His goal was always to destroy (transform)this nation-punish it for the perceived wrong doings his daddy,college professors and Rev. Wright pushed upon his empty soul.

Sandi Morals January 26, 2015 at 1:40 pm

obama is not a muslim and you have no idea what marxism is, not that i’m surprised. you and sarah palin are a disgrace to right-wing politics, but at least sarah makes money off of her shilling. you are just a sad little troll.

Farley Chickson January 26, 2015 at 1:49 pm

Not a Muslim? Why does he support Iran, the palestinians,CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood with his policies?

Sandi Morals January 26, 2015 at 1:59 pm

you’re just making crap up. if you just didn’t like obama you could just say you don’t like him or his policies, but you have to keep saying muslim, muslim, muslim, because you want to lie about him and be a bigot.

please stop wasting our oxygen.

Rocky January 26, 2015 at 1:42 pm

A patriot that destroys his economy is alwasy preferred to a rational black Christian that saves his country. Got it.

pogo2 January 26, 2015 at 1:47 pm

bush loved the country so much he lied about weapons in iraq to get us to waste trillions of dollars we had to borrow and little to nothing to show for it. if that’s love i’d hate to see what he does to someone he hates, you know?

It is obvious to me that he was never on the old “SNOB” forum on the Sun News site, as was “pogo” a.k.a. “Sandi”, “Flip”, “Farley”, etc. SaludaRapids keep saying they’re the same, but he’s wrong. Up until pogo started posting on here, T. Lawrence (his real name, revealed by him and verified by Karl, the moderator we don’t hear from now) just insulted me gratuitously and randomly. After the arrival of pogo, he started telling exactly the same lies about me that pogo did.

Blame Bill Clinton. Ever since he threw his hat into the ring for 1992-which he did early, when Bush the Good had an 80+% approval rate- all politicians are afraid to stay on the sidelines knowing anyone can win. But that really just works for Democrats (see Obama, 2008) because Republicans are slow to adapt and invariable choose whoever is perceived to be next in line. Which is why Bush the Younger will be their next nominee.
