Sarah Palin Urged To Embark On 2012 Presidential Run In New Ad

A new political ad is urging former part-time Alaska governor Sarah Palin to reconsider her decision not to run in the 2012 election. The ad from the group Conservatives4Palin pleads with Palin to "Run Sarah Run!"

Called "The Challenge," the ad features Palin's famous remarks against "crony capitalism" and images of tea party protesters mashed up with faded footage of Barack Obama. According to Mediaite, the ad will begin airing in Iowa tomorrow, roughly five weeks ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

"If this ad is able to build some momentum for the Governor, the best way to keep that momentum going may be to commission a national GOP primary poll that includes the Governor as one of the options," the group said in an announcement, according to The Hill. "We'll see if it's possible given our resources."

If Palin would decide to launch a presidential campaign, she would only have time to register for the South Carolina primary -- the deadlines for Florida and New Hampshire have passed. Palin has already stated that she will not be seeking the Republican nomination, making an official announcement in early October.

All Sarah had to do is tell the truth and finally put the issue to bed.

"I read Guns N Ammo and Field and Stream."

See Sarah, would that have been so hard???

NEXT!

Oh, yes, please run. Now that Hermie is SUSPENDED.

The comedy writer's guild would LOVE to see you in the race. Come to think of it, how do we know this is not a punk that has secretly been initiated by them?

"He who warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells, and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free."

But, but, if elected, half way through her term she'd quit.

Run? I don't think she could take any more humiliation. Because that's what she'd open herself up for if she did.

Ms Palin was, and still is, a profoundly uninformed and ill-suited. candidate for national office.
The disastrous Couric and Gibson interviews were precise bellweathers of her ignorance.

Bill Kristol rightly advised her after the loss in 2008 to go back to Alaska, get the job done as Governor, and study up on issues.
She did nothing of the kind, resigned a few months later, and then claimed she didn't actually quit.

Ms Palin is also a fanatic religious idealogue, with few qualities that would commend her to lead a nation so divided on deadly serious matters of policy and economics in a perilous world.

Mouthing platitudes, being divisive, and bomb throwing at Tea rallies is easy. Presidents have to lead and relate to all Americans to be any good at it, which is beyond Sarah's skill set.

When touring in the Carolina's, she was quoted as saying "It's good to be here with real Americans"

That one comment is nothing but xenophobia dissing everyone who's not a white christian

Oh, please, not again. Republicans, we have had enough of all the hucksters you keep parading in front of the public. You are insulting our intelligence. Give it up.

Sarah Palin has no substance or staying power. She can't even finish a sentence.
