CNN, 10/29/08Wolf Blitzer: And this just coming into the "Situation Room," the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin now speaking out openly about her intentions in 2012 if, if she and John McCain were to lose this contest next Tuesday. In an interview with ABC News, Sarah Palin is now saying, she would be interested in remaining a serious national political figure, going ahead to 2012. She was asked what happens in 2012 if you lose on Tuesday, would you simply go back to Alaska? Elizabeth Vargas of ABC News asked her and Palin said this, and I will read it to you verbatim according to an ABC News transcript: Absolutely not, Sarah Palin says. I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken, that ... that would ... bring this whole ... I'm not doin' this for naught, and that is a direct quote from Sarah Palin. Clearly, leaving open the possibility that she would be interested in leading the Republican Party in 2012 if she and John McCain were to lose this presidential contest right now. Let's go to Dana Bash. She has been covering the McCain campaign reaction from the rather blunt statement from Sarah Palin that she would in fact be interested in leading the Republican Party going forward after Tuesday if they lose?Dana Bash: I just got off of the phone, Wolf, with a senior McCain adviser and I read this person the quote and I think it is fair to say that this person was speechless. There was a long pause and I just heard a huh on the other end of the phone. This is certainly not a surprise to anybody who has watched Sarah Palin that she is interested in potentially future national runs, and she is being urged to by a lot of people inside of the Republican Party if they do lose, but it is an if and people inside of the McCain campaign do not want any discussion that has an if in front of it six days before the election, they dont want any discussion at all, any kind of hypothetical talk about running for the next time around. So certainly, this is not at least initially being received well inside of the McCain campaign.Wolf Blitzer: I am not surprised, not surprised at all. It is one of those wow, she is talking about 2012 if we lose, that is not supposed to be something that you say. You are supposed to say, well, Im not looking ahead, Im not looking ahead only to Tuesday, and those are the talking points shes supposed to be saying, but she is obviously blunt and she is looking ahead if something were to happen on Tuesday that she wouldnt be happy with.
palin will never capture the heart of the people enough to be president , hell she stepped down as governer, she put the americans into a depression .

Bush DID spend money on AIDS. He mentioned it a number of times.

wow...can you say why she is a "bitch" and a 'dumbass". It would be nice to have a conversation. I don't care for President Obama, but I'm not ready to use swear words to describe him; he's my president like it or not....and I don't want anyone from another country throwing shoes at him or a late night show host dragging his kids through the mud either.

We do not have an official religion in this country. That's what conservatives would like.And i hate when foreigners dog us for their economic failure. We made the world billions of dollars and we get no praise. Your country took the risk in investing in America. Your country is at fault not ours! I don't think you realize how many of your ppl made money off of investing in American business.

nuclear energy is clean energy, but the dems don't support it. what does that tell you?the problem with saving lives is there's no end to it. so we save a bunch of Africans, what are they going to do? reproduce more, fuck their continent up again, and necessitate us going back in to save them again. it's an endless cycle that just wastes resources.

i rather have the world end, then see palin run for president. VOTE RON PAUL IN 2012

i suppose you're proud that you think of savings lives as an 'investment'?? The cold hard facts of the world?? and how much does oil cost a barrel? Wouldnt be such a problem is republicans supported clean energy anyway. But i suppose that would be a gay pinko communist thing to do too. Anyway, this is boring, you are a brainwashed fascist
sureshot649(May 21, 2009 at 6:55 pm)
so, instead of spending the money to secure oil resources, we should blow it on Africa? yeah, that's a really wise investment...

it wasn't greed that caused this financial mess, it was the government. banks were forced by legislation to make those sub-prime loans, so that minorities who had no way of paying for a house could "live the American dream" anyways.subsidizing poor people, basicaly, did this.
