sarah palin 'willing to run for president if there's nobody else to do it'
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/28/earlyshow/main6999411.shtml?tag=cbsnewsSectionContent.1

The former Alaska governor and ex-GOP vice presidential candidate, a mother of five and star of TLC's upcoming series "Sarah Palin's Alaska," told Hart that, when it comes to deciding whether to run, "It's going to entail a discussion with my family (and) a real close look at the lay of the land, to consider whether there are those with that common sense, conservative, pro-Constitution passion, whether there are already candidates out there who can do the job ... or whether there's nobody willing to do it, to make the tough choices and not care what the critics are going to say about you, just going forward according to what I think the priorities should be."

3. Pro-Constitution Passion my ass
I'd like to quiz that moronic Wasillabilly on the Constitution but you know that even a direct quote from it would constitute a "gotcha question".

Please run Sarah, the world needs to see you get clobbered again.

I can't wait until her and the teabaggers fifteen minutes are up.

4. If no one runs? WTF?
Has there ever been an election where no repub/dem stepped up to run? I mean that's just the silliest thing I've ever heard. Of course someone will run, so Lady Blah Blah can go back to Alaska and shut her yap.

5. Gee there are so many republicans lining up to run for
president they are gonna need a football field to hold the debates, cause that's the only place big enough. And she says IF NO BODY ELSE STEPS UP...bull she has soiled about 50 pair of panties waiting for someone to ask her.

7. Sarah Palin would be willing to paint herself blue and set her hair on fire to get air time.

8. I see this as her "out" so she can keep raking in the bucks
w/out actually contributing anything of substance.

There's not going to be a shortage of candidates and since Palin probably knows that she doesn't have a chance (even if her idiot supporters don't)she can say that "candidate x" is the person she'll endorse.

This allows her to continue to vacuum up the dollars that fools are willing to spend on her ghost-written books and vacuous speaking engagements without having to do any real work.

10. Gee... I just get this feeling...
That somehow no matter who is in the race, none of them will really have that common sense, pro-Constitution passion enough for Sarah's liking, and Sarah will just feel compelled because of that (and God telling her to) to jump in the race.
