DES MOINES — Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin told The Washington Post in an interview Friday that she is “seriously interested” in running for the White House in 2016.

“You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested,” Palin said, when asked to clarify her thinking about a possible presidential bid.

What the Heck I love her politics.

yeah, you would... :lol:

and apparently, it's few and few between as well... :lol: :P

Good for her.  She loves to lose, apparently.

Actually she is quite good at winning. You can thank her for a good number of the TEA PARTY people in office today. And technically since she had no say on how the campaign was run for McCain she has not lost any elections.

Pigs'll fly before she gets voted into the white house. xD
 
I guess she got bored of the view of Russia from her house. :wub:

Except she never said that. It was a skit from Saturday Night Live posing as Palin who said it.

Probably? But I like her doing the work she does behind the scenes getting Conservatives elected.

Oh, I know.
But even so it's still about the smartest thing ever even accidentally attributed to the woman.

That gave me a big laugh after you wrote that realizing how that could be used against me. :tup:
 
What does she do to get people elected and why doesn't she do that for herself?
 
The second question I can't answer. The first one is conservatives like me like her a lot and when she backs a candidate and travels across country supporting one we listen to see who she is backing.

Victory
Posted on November 05, 2014

Last night was huge! This is a victory for We the People! Credit is due to the victorious candidates. Their message to President Obama is undeniably received, though he’ll try to ignore it.

Thank you, SarahPAC supporters! You allowed us to help so many good candidates; over 30 of them became high profile – including Joni Ernst. Her success last night was the deciding victory in retaking the Senate majority. Thanks to your unwavering support and input, we were able to campaign across the country to highlight these public servants, and together we helped them reach incredible victories for their states and our nation.

I know you know me – you know I believe in the beauty of competition. And not that it’s all about wins or losses, but you helped SarahPAC have a better record last night than Hillary Clinton! Nineteen of our general election candidates won, with only two losses for outstanding candidates in Louisiana’s unique jungle primary election, Col. Rob Maness and Zach Dasher. Rob and Zach will be back as we remind them “sometimes you win, sometimes you learn!” because we all learned America has two more great men ready to shake it up and serve in the near future. Do you think this record matched up against Hillary’s is proof that her out-of-touch liberal Obama-following candidates mostly got mauled last night with 10 wins and 14 losses? You betcha’. But you won’t hear about that in the media, so I shall go around them to acknowledge your great accomplishment, SarahPAC supporters and superb SarahPAC staff.

Candidates we supported early on were key in re-taking the Senate. Senator Tim Scott, who you helped boost in his first Congressional primary in 2010, was appointed to this seat by my friend Governor Nikki Haley, who SarahPAC also supported in 2010. Both were reelected last night. Cory Gardner picked up a key Senate seat; remember he was part of our “Take Back the 20” initiative in 2010, where we helped reclaim 19 of the 20 House seats that were held by Democrats in districts John McCain and I carried in 2008. We campaigned in Iowa last spring for a little known hog farmer and tough talking veteran named Joni Ernst, and her victory just tilted the balance of power to the GOP.

Now, let’s remind new Republican majorities in the House and Senate that Americans were not necessarily voting FOR any party yesterday; they were voting AGAINST the continued dysfunction and corruption in D.C. We the People said, “enough is enough” to the scandals, crony capitalism, and utter lack of leadership in Washington.

Democrats should go into hibernation after last night’s mauling, but don’t count on it. Leaders must work even harder now to make sure this doesn’t happen to us in 2016; they must learn lessons from the last time Republicans held the Senate majority. This time, GOP, you must not retreat! And voters, it’s our responsibility to hold them accountable. They must fight for reform that aligns with the limited government planks of the Republican platform; they must not return to the big government cronyism and status quo favored by the permanent political class. Will they drain the swamp or decide the D.C. cesspool is really just a jacuzzi they can’t wait to jump on into and shake us off?

If the GOP returns to business as usual, then this majority will be short lived, for We the People say, “once bitten, twice shy.”

So, establishment types, don’t forget that you didn’t build this victory. This new majority was swept into power thanks to the rank and file commonsense conservative grassroots. That’s who built it. And they expect results. They deserve the best for America.

Thank you again, SarahPAC supporters. Congratulations, USA! God, please bless our future.

With an Alaskan heart,

Sarah Palin

that's another reason why american politics are trash, because people vote for people that they are told to vote for instead of knowing the people they are voting for and/or what their politics are all about...

it's called blindly voting for someone just because someone else or someone you like tells you to...

those types i laugh at, for obvious reasons...

That's a blanket statement and not true for all voters. And it is all elections not just American politics where people vote based on the 6 o'clock headlines of what a candidate said.
