The Inquisitr:After a long absence from the political arena, Palin appears to be strategically increasing her appearances and speeches while also taking solid aim at President Obama. This has led many political experts to conclude that she is aiming to enter the 2016 presidential race, or at least is trying to test the waters for a potential run.
The rumors kicked up a bit this week when a spokesman for the Rev. Billy Graham announced that Sarah Palin will be a guest for the reverends 95th birthday. Graham still carries great political sway, so much in fact that Mitt Romney carved out time to meet with Graham in the final days of the 2012 presidential race in the hopes of earning a public endorsement and assuring conservative voters.

Sarah Palin has also taken her political tour to Iowa, one of the most important states for Republican hopefuls. On November 9 Palin is slated to speak at the annual banquet for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, an important conservative and evangelical group.
You know how, when you dangle a string in front of your cat, they keep leaping at it crazily, even though they never catch it?

(32,139 posts)Run a batshit crazy extremist against a Democratic Third Wayer. She won't get the nomination, but she'll provide plenty of distracting Kabuki theater to keep the NSA surveillance state, continued austerity assaults and banking deregulation, and the new Trans-Pacific Crush and Subjugate the Working Class agreement OUT of the media while election season gets underway and candidates are being selected in the primaries.
Then we will be left with two horrible, looting, corporate-fascist, police/surveillance state candidates, as usual, and they will proceed to enslave/finish us off.
