“The mainstream media, they make me sick! They’re hypocrites and we need to call them out on that!”

Today Sarah released a Presidents Day video, and already the media’s speculating on it’s intended message.  Is she preparing for a brokered convention?  Like we say…continuing to live rent free in their heads.

(SarahPAC)…Celebrating George Washington’s birthday is an American tradition to honor our first president. Though Presidents’ Day is now the more commonly-used term, and has expanded to include all presidents, the legal term for this federal holiday remains Washington’s Birthday.  (more…)

Tonight was Eric Bolling’s very last edition of “Follow The Money”, and as his special last guest he invited Gov. Sarah Palin.  Topics ranged from her selection as the VP candidate in the ’08 election to the possibility of a brokered convention for the GOP.  Bolling waiting until almost the end of the interview to ask her if she’d consider saying “yes” to being a candidate if no one else reached the magic number of delegates.  Her answer?  “I would do whatever I could to help.”  Sarah also surprised viewers earlier in the day when she showed up as a surprise guest on The Five.  Guess who was the only one she gave a hug to? 

This deserves to be viewed on center stage.  H/T tnwahm…

(SPFB)…We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent.

We will look back on this week and realize that something changed. I have given numerous interviews wherein I espoused the benefits of thorough vetting during aggressive contested primary elections, but this week’s tactics aren’t what I meant. Those who claim allegiance to Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment should stop and think about where we are today. Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, the fathers of the modern conservative movement, would be ashamed of us in this primary. Let me make clear that I have no problem with the routine rough and tumble of a heated campaign. As I said at the first Tea Party convention two years ago, I am in favor of contested primaries and healthy, pointed debate. They help focus candidates and the electorate. I have fought in tough and heated contested primaries myself. But what we have seen in Florida this week is beyond the pale. It was unprecedented in GOP primaries. I’ve seen it before – heck, I lived it before – but not in a GOP primary race. (more…)

Sarah Palin appeared on the Fox Business Network with John Stossel last night, however, I’m afraid it largely flew under the radar due to the debate.  In the seven and a half minute interview, she maintained the establishment was trying to “crucify” Newt Gingrich, and “rewrite what it is that he has stood for all these years.”

Sarah Palin will not run for president.  She made the announcement in a letter to supporters Wednesday night.
Read Palin’s letter here:
October 5, 2011
Wasilla, Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.

BREAKING: Sarah Palin NOT running for president

Mark Levin just read a statement from Sarah Palin that details her decision not to run for president. He is now interviewing her and I will have audio of the statement and the interview with Sarah Palin as soon as it is complete.
Added:  Full interview with Mark Levin. (more…)

As Chris Christie makes the grand exit, do we see others perhaps poised to make their entrance?  Food for thought….
(Politico)…Ken Vogel and I both have sources telling us that calls were made on behalf of a mystery candidate to various early states to determine presidential filing deadlines.

The calls were made by representatives of the law firm Baker Hostetler – a firm that employs lawyer Mark Braden, who represents Sarah PAC, her political action committee. (more…)

Tonight Sarah Palin spoke with the Fox Business Channel’s Judge Napolitano, and   probably the biggest news was the following statement, “Don’t expect an announcement tomorrow.  This is a serious decision, and I’ve engaged in serious deliberations.  So, within the next 24 hours, don’t look for me to make a decision.”  Listen to the full video and then tell me what you think.  If she wasn’t running, why would she need to string things out past September?   (Full story following the video.)
