I am guessing she will endorse Newt or Herb Cain.

I'm not holding my breath for a Paul endorsement. If Palin is true to her own rhetoric, she'll endorse Bachmann or Santorum, but if she takes the advice of her handlers, it's a boost for Newt. If the Republicans can hold Newt as the flavor of the month until Christmas, then he could become a threat. Whomever she endorses, it will likely be our next competition all the way to the Iowa Caucus.

Obviously, all of us will be in shock if she endorses Paul, but because with the Iran thing, I couldn't imagine it ever happening.

Palin already endorsed Rick Perry:

“Rick Perry is not only a man of principle whose values are right for America, but he’s also the shrewdest politician I’ve ever been able to keep up with,” she told the startled but delighted throng, “and for those and many other reasons, I am today announcing my support for him — not only for President of the United States, but also for President of the Republic of Texas. The wisdom, the courage, and the leadership skills he possesses make him perhaps the only candidate out there who is capable of reuniting Texas and the United States, and putting ‘legals’ back to work.”

Bachmann. She represents the same tea party than Palin. They have the same foreign policy and after last Saturday debate, her performance must have sealed the deal. Cain and Perry campaign are in the same boat, the titanic, and everyone wants out.
If Palin endorses her, this will give her the big boost that she needs.
Or she could really go rogue and endorses the godfather of the original tea party. But that would shock me.

There's another thread that says Dick Morris expects a Bachmann surge over the next two weeks.

I think a Palin VP is out of the question for whoever wins the nomination - unless they really REALLY don't want to win.

She'd be looking for some cushy spot to pad her credentials without doing too much work.

With Dick Morris thinking Bachmann will surge -- yep, Palin is endorsing Bachmann.

Did you see the video of Palin, Dr. Paul, Rand Paul on Judge Napolitano a few years ago? It was encouraging....oh how I wish she would endorse Dr. Paul. It would do wonders for the Tea Party support of him.

I think endorsing Bachmann will just look like grrrl power, the best thing Palin could do - for herself - would be to endorse Paul. But she is an Israel firster, so I expect it will be Bachmann or Romney. Or maybe it is Frothy's turn for a bump.

I don't think it will be Newt, and definitely not Herb. And she's already called out Perry and criticized his crony-capitalism.

I wonder if she and Rand Paul remained friends after that endorsement, he can be very convincing... just wondering...

11-15-2011, 08:03 AM
I don't know who she will endorse but I really don't think she wants to risk damaging her credibility by endorsing a campaign that appears to be failing already and have it go on to fail. She tends to try and pick assured winners that are close to her beliefs.

That was a senate race for one, and secondly Rand's rhetoric is more hawkish. There is zero chance (at least in my mind) that she is endorsing Ron. I'd love to be wrong.

We'll see, she was in KY with both Rand and Ron....perhaps they got through to her. I'd like to think so. And only 1 candidate in the race brings with him a million+ adoring supporters/fans.

seapilot
11-15-2011, 09:13 AM
It could be RP. Why? She went against the status quo in Alaska supporting a candidate that no one heard of against a seated Republican Murkowski. Her guy won the nomination but Murkowski got her big money to pay millions for a write in campaign. Murkowski won the first ever write in campaign in Alaska. So Palin does not always tow the party line or kiss the establishments ass. She is a wildcard on who she can chose to support.

Process of elimination folks.. I think it leaves us with Bachmann, Newt, Paul, Santorum, and Hunstman.
She's already mocked Herb, and attacked Romney and Perry.
I don't think there's much more we can glean except to wait and see.

Here is her attack on Perry: http://nation.foxnews.com/undefined/2011/09/12/palin-attacks-perry

"Michelle Bachmann pointed out that Governor Perry's former chief of staff who then went to work for a drug company who made the drug that would be required of the Texan government to mandate that our young daughters would have to be inoculated against a potential disease from this company that his former chief of staff was lobbying for. That is crony capitalism. That's part of the problem we have in this country. People are afraid, even within our own party to call one another out on that. True reform and fighting the corruption and fighting the crony capitalism is a tough thing to do within your own party. You have to go up against the big guns. And they will try to destroy you, when you call them out on the mistakes that they have made. Believe me I know that. I have the bumps and bruises to prove it, because that's what I've been doing the last 20 years, local, state then on the VP trail, different levels of government, calling out the corruption in government. Michelle Bachmann tried to make that point tonight," Palin told Greta on FOX News.

She has said nice things about Bachmann, Newt, and Paul. I've never heard her state an opinion on Santorum or Huntsman.

Palin's going to want to endorse the person who gets the nomination. (Be Seen As Kingmaker) $arah has 2 choices: Ron Paul OR Mitt Romney. If she's really Rogue Tea Party, Anti-Status Quo, Pro-Liberty, Pro-American People she'll go with Paul. On the other hand, if she's really just an Establishment, Pro-Zionism, Pro-Federal Reserve Banking Cartel, Anti-Liberty, Anti-American People Fraud she'll place her bets on Romney.

No way she endorses: Cain, Gingrich, Perry, Huntsman, Bachmann or Santorum cause none have a chance.

Maybe she'll come back, the same way she left. She was supporting Paul in 2007, (or maybe it was early 2008, or both. I can't remember now. I had been watching this forum for quite some time before I joined. BTW I don't post much; but I'm here almost all day, nearly every day. I take info from here and post it in other forums.) and posting in these forums, before she teamed up with the evil one. I was considering voting for McCain, simply because she was on the ticket; but in the end I couldn't hold my nose and do it.

Paul is the only one that makes sense. However, Paul will not offer her a job, if she cares about that.

Bachmann would mean that she would put her money on a sinking ship. And Michelle is a like slightly smarter but less popular version of Sarah. It would be a weird move.

Gingrich would destroy her credibility over the long-term, as he will face enormous criticism from here on in. Now, Newt might make a deal by offering her the VP position in return for her support, but that would destroy his campaign should he get the nomination. Still, this is possible.

Cain...absolutely not.

Romney...same story as Newt, except that Mitt should be a lot less motivated than Newt to cut a deal with Sarah.

My 2 cents:

Palin ran with McCain - McCain recently spoke out in opposition to waterboarding - I can't find a source for what Palin's position is on torture but I imagine she would not make an endorsement to a pro-torture candidate right after this last debate. I think if she were going to support a pro-torture candidate, she would make the endorsement after the topic has died down more. It's too soon for her to go out on a limb for a pro-torture candidate - thats all.

That leaves only a couple options.

11-15-2011, 11:55 AM
Hasn't it been obvious to everyone that Newt has been running for Vice President all along? Palin is going to endorse Romney or Newt because it will make it easier for rank-in-file Republicans to swallow the Romney-Newt ticket that they're going to get, unless Paul knocks them off.

My bet is on Perry. After Newt sinks in 2 to 3 weeks, Perry will be resuscitated and Palin will look like a genius. After the first couple of primaries the race will come down to Romney, Perry, Paul.

My bet is on Perry. After Newt sinks in 2 to 3 weeks, Perry will be resuscitated and Palin will look like a genius. After the first couple of primaries the race will come down to Romney, Perry, Paul. I think Perry will be gone after Nevada . Paul , Newt , Romney & Cain would be all that is left after that , best I can tell ...

She did not have a good relationship with Bachmann so I doubt it would be her. Since FNC, the establishment and Beck were gushing all over Rick Perry and Palin up until this year I always thought Palin and Beck would endorse Perry.

With all the Neocons gushing all over Cain right now I started to have my doubts but considering he is very weak on foreign policy I could not imagine the Neocons endorsing him. So my odds are on her endorsing Perry and if not Perry, Ron Paul.

Yep, the reason you're correct is you would have to go back a few weeks ago. Remember, everything that is done is ALWAYS telegraphed weeks before it happens. When you understand the game, nothing should come to surprise.

Here is what was telegraphed. Months ago Palin was having cordial visits with Trump. Trump has stated in a number of interviews, that he and Palin remain in contact periodically. A few weeks back, Trump announced he will make his endorsement after the Iowa Caucus. Trump also stated weeks ago in interviews that of the candidates that have visited him, there was one that he felt the most confident with. Process of elimination says Gingrich never visited Trump. Romney never visited Trump. Paul has not visited Trump.

I said many months ago that Trump would be a key player in these elections. So here we are with the announcement that Palin is going to side with a candidate. process of elimination, the only rational guess would be Perry getting a support bump from Palin to boost him in Iowa and then Trump coming in after the Iowa Caucus to give him the ultimate bump announcing his endorsement. It makes Palin look like a genius because now she has Trump on her side and the media can't mock her and she saves her "so called credibility" amongst her supporters, hence more paid appearances, continued Fox contract and future book deals or whatever. Palin is riding this money machine for all its got. She WILL NOT jeopardize that. You can bet your last dollar on that one.

I'm going in with Perry. She will help him do damage control by explaining how the news media pounces on every thing you do; and she herself, has been a victim of the same media circus. If Palin was a truthful/sincere person with teaparty views, she would have to vote for Paul. Since she isn't, it will go to one of the RINO's.

Perry probably got her in the sack, lol.

Beck is going all-in with Santorum. There isn't a directive that they all are issued. They are individuals. A endorsement of Perry doesn't seem likely on the account that his unfavorability outweighs favorability among Republican voters.

Palin is a warmonger and will not endorse Ron Paul. He is the one she should endorse, but she will not.

Maybe Perry. Anyone else she endorses will completely discredit her views, such as they are. :D

Unfortunately, Perry cannot win. Cain cannot win. Gingrich cannot win, though he is plenty full of debate material which he is a master at spinning. Romney cannot win; he has been running for ffour years and no one wants him and his flip-flopping, spinning views. Santorum lines up closely with Palin, but he cannot win. Bachmann cannot win. Huntsman cannot win.

That only leaves Paul. She will not endorse him IMHO. But I would love to be wrong. :D

I would agree with you that the Fox Network steers their talent into certain directions and Beck was supposedly fed up with the top-down content control. Beck is out there. He does largely what he wants now. I don't like Santorum but I understand why Beck is drawn to him.

Flashback:


Sarah Palin responded tonight to Rick Santorum’s speculation as to why she is not attending the conservative gathering, CPAC, saying he was “uninformed” to suggest she has “other business opportunities.”

“I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal that perhaps others would want to call him. I’ll let his wife call him that instead,” Palin told Sean Hannity on Fox New

It was mainly Bachmann who bucked up against Perry over Gardasil, then never followed through. Sarah Palin emotionally jumped on the bandwagon with Bachmann but again no one followed through. Then Perry recanted and said he has made a mistake on making that a mandate--then all was well.

I agree, and I am really glad you bring this up. If they help Ron Paul in any way, I will withhold criticism.

Long-term, she has to see that supporting Ron Paul is the only path for her. Every other candidate is toxic in one way or another. She has two options:

1. High Risk/High Reward: Endorse Ron Paul.
2. Low Risk/Low Reward: Do not endorse anybody. The only problem with this is that you need to exercise authority to some extent in order to maintain it. If she gives up her chance to play kingmaker here, she does nothing to build herself.

To the mainstream GOP, Noot is the up and comer and will not commit any of the flubs and mistakes that the others have made. Unless we can get a victory in Iowa, gain some momentum and win or come in second in New Hampshire etc, then he will be the nominee, and we will have either the third party option or whatever plan B will become.
