Karl Rove: Sarah Palin Will Run For President (VIDEO)

First Posted: 08/20/11 05:26 PM ET Updated: 10/20/11 06:12 AM ET

Sarah Palin has yet to announce her 2012 presidential plans. Either way, one prominent conservative sees the former Alaska governor entering the presidential race.

Former George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove appeared on Fox News Saturday morning, voicing his views that Palin will throw her hat into the 2012 ring. Rove cited her schedule as a key factor, noting that it looks more like that of a 'candidate' than a 'celebrity'.

The Washington Examiner highlights that schedule theory. Palin is set to appear in Iowa on September 3, serving as the keynote speaker at the Tea Party of America's "Restoring America" event.

"This is her last chance," Rove said on the broadcast. "She either gets in or gets out after this visit next week. I think she gets in."

Rove's forecast comes one day after Palin released a new video highlighting her Iowa travels. Entitled "Iowa Passion," the ex-Vice Presidential candidate profiles Iowans who explain why she is "a normal person just like every one of us."

Karl, you have lost your touch. Sarah Palin™ won't run because then there would be restrictions on how she uses her money. The Grifter won't jeopardize her money machine.

If she runs - she will win the GOP primary and Obama will win 2012

Some call it a "Win-Win"..... Ha Ha

Carl Rove, the most selfish, self-serving non politician to date, has an obvious ulterior motive in promoting SP.
He needs to hurt Bachmann and Perry. His intent is to force the evangelical, religious zealot vote to be split. He knows none of these three are WH worthy. they would hurt his "Brand". He is not willing to let them destroy all he has worked for for the past three decades.
The GOP will be the Crazy Party if any of these three get the nomination. Rove knows SP will help a more mainstream republican, while sucking money and media time from the other two bible thumpers.

SURE! Bring her on in. The Pool of Political CR@P that the TP/GOP has to offer definitely needs more CraZee in its corner. While you t00ls are at it, why not bring back Donald Trump and maybe even run Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnel and Orly Taitz?!!!!!

Oh, let's have Sarah in the race! She's nothing if not comic relief. Frankly, though, I think Karl Rove is wrong. Bachmann has swept this tundra nonentity off the front pages.

Gosh, yaknow it’s just so darn flatterin for Karl Rove takin me nostalgically back there to when it seemed like, just yesterday and so on when I and Jomcain the Mavrik, plus Joe the Plumber, if that really is his name (LOutLOL), with all those handlers and packagers there goin round, pokin and paintin and powderin at me, while we were swingin away and such at the alteriors talkin against us then, and so then now (and quite recently) to be able to hear Jomcain’s purciteful and wizened statements there, — so goshdarn strongly about how leadin from behind there with Obaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaama was goin, and then additionally havin the Mavrik tyin it all up like a big sack there, expressin thanks to almost all those other countries their for there success over they’re — while sayin that we didn’t do this fastly enough (which I’m gonna hafta be fully briefed-in on before I release more commentfrags concernin those important topics) but the imported thing is for us to be keepin up the pressures on Washington and to continually be shovin out the constant Pushmipullu-type aggressive policy loads in the general direction of all those doolittles in our current government of today’s time that need to be left behind on those politicos and pundants that we hear, until we can capture it and take them back from both ends there to go and do our business again if I do decide to run on and so forth.

Superb satire! This writer has got her tone down perfectly. Only one thing is glaring: a literary reference (Dr. Doolittle). The woman has never read a book in her life.

Maybe she read the movie...
07:39 AM on 08/23/2011
of course she will, but she has to wait until the last possible moment before debates would occur because she hates answering those pesky gotcha questions about how she'll run the country.
01:27 AM on 08/23/2011
"a normal person just like every one of us." I can't think of a single way she is "like me". Can you?

As much as I detest hearing from this lobotoemee, I'm glad to hear she will run. She can only *help* the Republican party's credibility. :-)

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Please no no no no.... I won't be able to stand it if she runs. OMG, please no no no no no no... a thousand times "NO....

I'll be good. I promise. Please no no no no no --- I'll even eat my spinach... Please please: Nooooooooo.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Some people just NEED to be told twice that they are not the winner, she is one of them. Let her run and lose and maybe she will finally go away.

She could also use a for-real WABAC machine made famous by Mr. Peabody and Sherman on the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows of the past.

Perhaps she could update her tiny brain with real history and real historical events.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.....

She and Bachmann could go together......
