Live In Iowa: Sarah Palin Tells Sean Hannity ‘I Am Still Considering A Run’ For President

video
» 286 comments

Sarah Palin‘s seemingly surprise appearance at the Iowa State Fair this week drew some questions from the press about whether or not she was trying to steal the media spotlight from other GOP candidates. Tonight she appeared via live feed to Fox News host Sean Hannity to discuss the GOP debate last night, which included her praise of Newt Gingrich for taking on the media(Fox News’s Chris Wallace) and drew cheers from the crowd when she proclaimed “I AM still considering a run” for president.

Hannity simpply asked the former Governor of Alaska “are you considering a run for the presidency of the United States?” Palin replied “I am still considering a run, Sean,” adding “I think the good folks near iowa, you can ask be in here and I think they would tell you, it is time this country is put back on the right track.” She then went on to make many of the predictable talking points to the adoring crowd surrounding her.

    she’s obviously not a very bright woman, and when pressed on these 
    matters, her initial reaction is ALWAYS:  ”that was a gotcha question”

    Hannity never asks Palin any tough questions, it’s his show so he can do what what he wants regardless if we like it or not.

    Right now Palin is a glorified pundit so she really doesn’t have to answer any tough questions (she really should but for some reason she doesn’t) but if she does run she better start talking policy. If she pulls talking points like this then she deserves all the criticism she gets.

    Oh gee what a surprise – sarie on seanie show to say again she is still considering a run for the presidency.  This from a moron that has said on several occasions she can beat obama!!!  Can you imagine having this for a president and she shows up once a month or so to say she is still deciding?? Ya can’t make it up.  I am really surprised she doesn’t have the new grandkid with her so she can make even more money selling its’s pictures.  Guess her aides were getting worried about her safety?  Worried about the only one with cajones to do the tough stuff? Can’t make this stuff up.

    Darla,

    Your post started a journey for me, down memory lane.  I am from Colorado and spent time in Aspen, of course.  Which reminded me of bumping into Hunter Thompson in Woody Creek. (He was difficult to talk with, a bit addled)  So I Googled the Woody Creek Tavern… Down “memory lane,” wandered… 

    “The road excess leads to palace of wisdom”   (just ask Hunter, and JIm, Janis, John, Jimi and very nearly myself.)

    Anyway, the quote is by the philosopher William Blake.  How prescient?

    I can ‘understand’ a community, a small town not wanting to put further strain toward the pending demise of their down town, gathering together to keep BOX stores out (Wal-Mart, even a McDonald’s in that context)  The motivation is one of trying retain something of the past that is good, rather than lose it to supposed “progress?”

    However, the motivation of the Left, telling us what to eat, sleep, drink, wear, travel, etc., disturbs me. (I am a fan of John Stuart Mill’s libertarian thesis: “On Liberty”)

    Anyway,  nice chat.

    You said it in your first line, just like Trump, she has no intention of running, its just to for publicity.

    So many excellent comments. Thanks. I have to say, people of all ideologies seem to be really tiring of this little game she is playing. To be sure, she still has some fans who take her seriously, but that number is really dropping. So, next summer she finally has to say she’s not running. What happens to the label? It’s seriously over-valued now. Only a handful of people went to her krappy movie. How many people are going to buy her books? Will anyone really want to hear what she has to say in her speeches? The way that family blows through money, as the RNC can attest, the small fortune can easily be blown on cheap Chinese krap during a weekend at Wal-Mart and Big Lots.

    This is such a desperate cry for attention that it’s painful to watch anymore. And to think that the Republican party actually ran this woman on a national ticket. LOL!! I remember when the GOP used to stand for something other than tax breaks for rich folks, evolution-denialists and drill, baby, drill. What a joke.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Where do you come off saying something like that. You only have to watch Greta O’Van Susteren’s homages to Casa Palin to see a house krowded with tacky krap. Watch the r-runs of “Alaska’s Sarah Palin”. The RNC charges are all documented. She spent a small fortune, on a credit card by a donor, reimbursed by the RNC, at Saks, Neiman’s and other upscale department stores buying herself a new wardrobe, designer accessories, designer purses for Brisket, Oak and Cessna, silk boxers for Tad. If you want to argue that such tacky extravagance helped and helps the economy, do so. You might have a strong argument. But don’t deny the documented and the obvious.

    Noo, I believe you are thinking of Dick Cheny’s reference to the Reagan years?

    A scholar can make a good case, either way, about the success or failure of “supply side economics.”  However, “trickle down” has really, never been truly tested.  In theory, should work, but then the odd war comes down the pike or an oil embargo, or a recalcitrant Congress worried about this and that social program etc…

    Unless the nation commits to an economic theory, remaining faithful to such, America, (and other nations) will continue to rise and fall.

    We do know one thing for certain: Socialism/Communism does not work, it kills the human spirit along with the human!

    She doesn’t have widespread popularity. Palin is a threat to corporate/government partnership, and the corporatists will do anything to keep her from gaining traction. Gingrich is the same. He isn’t predictable; therefore he can’t be controlled by the big corporate donors. The other stuff is noise.

    Palin’s Iowa itinerary:
    Deep-fried butter, then a deep-fried twinkie, and perhaps a corn dog or two.
    Sarah strives to be a role model for diabetes and heart disease — not how to avoid them, but rather how to attain them.
    And then back to Alaska for some moose hunting — chopper pilots are standing by …

    As far as a run for the presidency is concerned, not gonna happen.  She lacks the intellect, the work ethic, and the intestinal fortitude needed for a serious campaign … and she knows it.

    We’re talking about the Jerry Springer crowd here, Cain.  They won’t move on.  They’ll follow her until she drops.  She’ll be the Rocky Balboa of the teanderthal demographic for years to come, except for the getting into the actual ring part, and the mostly winning part.

    Having lived in CA, anything above LA County is considered Northern CA. You have four major areas: San Diego up til Orange County, LA County which is by far different than LA County (even though they boreder one another), Inland or Northern CA (anything North of LA).

  • http://www.constitutionallibertarian.co.cc/ DavidKramer

    Reporters and Leftists alike (but I repeat myself) were whining again because Sarah Palin would not place herself in the square hole they wanted to provide for the well rounded politician. It almost seems like she knows the leftist maneuvers before they happen. Hmmmm, she must be one smart cookie or the leftists are a bunch of morons. You be the judge. Either that or the whole strategy has been planned from the beginning, from very astute campaign managers or progenitors of logic and strategy. Hmmm, didn’t someone write a political strategy about using Sun Tzu strategies in modern day political structures recently? OH, that has not been released yet, shhhhhh.

    Anyway, my old gym shoe would defeat Obama, us independants and Republicans alike are looking for someone that is not part of the whole DC cabal. I guess that narrows the field quite a bit.

    You have to ask yourself, is Sarah the stalking horse, is Perry, is Romney, is Paul, who exactly is going to be the one to topple the leftists? Funny how the leftists and media just a few months ago want more people to enter the race? Or were they just lying? Did they not want a narrower field to be able to use personal destruction to be an effective tool? I think another 10-20 would be a great idea.

    TODAY, I announce MY candidacy to be president, I think my qualifications far outstrip the current dufus in chief. I once ran a lemonade stand, and THAT is documented!

    IMHO these Iowa publicity tours are just a cynical attempt to gain publicity; I don’t think she’s gonna run…if she was, Ailes would’ve taken her off FOX when the network took off Gingrich and Santorum when they “signaled possible runs for the president,” as Baeir put it. She hasn’t signaled a possible run for the presidency!? Of course she has. She’s just let Ailes know that it’s all smoke and mirrors.

    I believe I differentiated the motivation between the schools of thought. One, wants to control your behavior, the other, yours, at least ostensibly, is altruistic. I believe a community has some control over the flow of commerce, hence I agree with your position. By the way, I grew up in Oshkosh and lived in West Bend for a while. Both are towns, or are surrounded by towns that desire to keep things from changing too fast.

    ~LOL, I was raided by the local PD, they told me I had to have a federal license to operate a lemonade stand, a state license and a local license, they asked me for my workers comp form, my unemployment insurance form, the Material Safety Data Sheets, my restaurant license, my business license, my EIN, my birth certificate and about 300 other items. I said fine, you take the $1.25 I earned and I would close up shop. He told me I must be kidding me, if he enforced every crime I was guilty of, I would owe about $325,000. He told me later as I was being hauled away, that if I contributed $5,000 to the local police fund, I would be let go. I decide to be a patriot and not submit. Therefore I was thrown into the slammer.~

    Yes Darla, That is avery reasonable conclusion made by “deductive” reasoning. So too when I am told not to allow smoking in my bar, or, made to wear a helmet motorcycling, wear a seat belt, I have deduced, someone or something is attempting to control my behavior. And I resent the hell out of it. John Stuart Mill, (1850) posited that as long as one pays his bills, schools his children and doesn’t assault his wife or neighbor, Government should stay out of their live’s. Just like you smoking “swats” from a bong. As long as you are not harming anyone else, whose business is it? (Note: “swats,” is what we once called hits, had a nice cachet)

    Out of everything I imparted, you focus on that sentence? Ouch! YES, Darla, the failure rate of Socialism tends to be high and costly, economically, monetarily and humanely. However, that wasn’t the main point of my post, but, that sentence seems to cause you the most dissonance? All the nations you have listed are slowly, inexorably failing, just as their Socialist forebears did. You know, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, North Korea and the hodge podge of African Nations that fell under the spell of Marxism since WWII? HOWEVER, my point was focused on America’s Capitalistic failings and what I perceived would correct the problem, i.e., a concerted economic philosophy that is allowed to function without petty interruption?

    Why just the most qualified, level-headed and serious candidate the Republicans could’ve fielded (i.e. June’s media chosen path of least resistance to Obama’s re-election). 

    But alas, he’s only polling 1%.  The right really should’ve paid more attention and gone with the strongest horse.  The media were especially clever to inform us who that candidate was.  We’re just not smart enough to have taken their advice.

    Your comment about “being the first to applaud” better quality eateries as such, provoked this thought.  

    I wrote piece on this years ago when I was living in Golden Colorado.  Boulder started the whole process by passing laws slowly limiting cigarette smoking in Bars until you no longer could do it, PERIOD!

    I wrote: not only was such an intrusion on my civil liberties and choice, the Laws infringed on “economic, due process.”  Meaning, what makes America tick is free enterprise, Capitalism and competition.  If one does not like smoking in a bar, then they should open a Bar across the street that prohibits such!  Perhaps, both Bars will prosper, or, one will fail?  

    The Founding Fathers would applaud…But Boulder, being Boulder, simply imposed its conceited and arrogant will on the people.

    LOL, it is sooo funny it is almost nauseating the idiots they are pushing. The media attacks the most viable candidates for the Repubs and pushes the most vile.

    All you have to do is look at 1979 and see who to nominate. The one they attack the most is the one that we have to nominate. The one that they like the best is the exact opposite of who we should primary. Hmmmm, do not even use 1979, use 2008 as an example. Remember who the MSM liked the most and who did not attack Obama’s record.

    It does NOT MATTER what the court decided on the severability. The only thing that make the legislation viable is the mandate, plus within the legislation, the congress and the president made it inseparable. A court, CANNOT rewrite language within the bill. There is a such a thing as separation of powers, no matter how much the leftist courts think they can write law.

    A court can strike down portions of a law without striking down the entire law. Not a matter of rewriting the law, but if a portion is unconstitutional, but the rest isn’t the courts will commonly let the rest stand. The 11th Circuit today ruled the mandate unconstitutional, but let the rest stand since they felt the mandate could be severed from the law. But you are right, get rid of the mandate and it guts the funding of the law. So as it stands the biggest rulings on the law have three saying the law is constitutional, three saying all, or parts, of the law are unconstitutional.

    That explains it, you are not good at math. Guys always tell you that they have nine when it is really only 5 and to extrapolate, we would have to apply the same formula.

    9/5 is to 130/x so therefore 9/5=130/x therefore inverse both sides………5/9=x/130 and then times both sides by 130……..actual IQ=72.22

    The legislature put a section of inseparability within the legislation. Even if the court applies a new precedent within the ruling, it would be struck down.

    Hey-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y!  In all the time I have been reading Mediaite comments, this is the first time I have found something to agree with Darladoon about! Woohoo!  Fire off the rockets!  Pop open the bubbly!  Let’s sing Kumbaya!

    Having been born in the REAL Northern California, I can tell you that the description is subjective, but merely being north of L.A. definitely does NOT qualify (sorry, my usual ally, WCinWI).  Even those who describe San Francisco as Northern California are sadly deluded (sorry, new, temporary ally,  Darladoon).  San Francisco may be on the dividing line between North and South, but it is definitely not Northern California.
     
    Northern California is behind the Redwood Curtain.  Northern California is where you can begin a several hour drive (southward), in order to see a Giants game.  Northern California is where there are more trees than people.  Northern California is where there are as many firearms as there are people.  But, most importantly, Northern California is where Nancy Pelosi is NOT.

    Capitalism being the lure that it is, Mrs. Palin is taking full advantage. Good for her.

    I think you are right, but I honestly don’t think she will run.  I do think she takes the some of the heat off the others, and perhaps that is her intent.  Give them all a fighting chance to get in there and be heard.

    The left wing media did an unbelievable hatchet job on her and reading some of the comments from our lefty friends, they still believe all the misinformation about her and continue to regurgitate it.

    I’m sure in years to come, what the media did to her will be discussed in a lot of journalism classes.  The oddest fall out from the medias treatment of her is that there are a # of “journalists” and I use the word loosely who enjoyed their moment in the sun but stumbled severely in the aftermath.  Couric, Gibson, and to some extent Letterman.  I am convinced that deep down a lot of people saw their performances for what they were and although they would never openly criticize them, in fact went to great lengths to give them kudos, they were not embraced with viewership afterwords.  

    I don’t know if in our history there has been any other politician who suffered the way Palin did.  I think she’s more than deserving of the monetary rewards she is reaping and that fact that she’s still standing is a testament to her mettle. At this point I think the left feels that is her worst crime.  The fact that she didn’t crumble and brushed herself off and kept on fighting.

    Only in your most hopeful of dreams…  There will be no third party as that is the great Democratic hope of 2012 and it just won’t happen.. 
     
    Never having really been a Palin supporter I have watched her with some amusement over the last few years.  I never thought that she could withstand a national election, but having witnessed president Obama over the last year and most importantly the last month, there is little question in my mind as to if she can beat him in a presidential election, that is how weak Obama has become.  Sarah on the other hand has weathered all that the left can dish out and has begun to rehabilitate her image.  She is no longer green as she was in 2008 and she is more appealing to much of America than is this president..  Do I think that she will enter?  I really don’t care if she does or not, do I think that if she does that she will be able to win the nomination?  I don’t think so but one never knows. 
     
    I think that what is clear at this point is that the president is extremely weak, that he has no policy that will help this country or its economy  It is clear that he has lost his Mojo with not only the American people, but with the European Union and most Asian countries as well.  The only countries in which he has possibly improved his status are the countries of the Middle East as he has deferred to their “moral supremacy” over the US policy of his predecessors and shown a wiliness to throw Israel under the bus.  Even in those Middle Eastern countries there exists great reservations about with this president as they see him as the world sees him, fickle and weak.  It is no coincidence that the White house has removed from media materials the reference to the Country Israel in publications that refer to the city of Jerusalem, where a few months ago you would read Jerusalem, Israel you will now only see the word Jerusalem.  This president’s policies are more aligned with Code Pink than they are with the American people.
     
    Progressives somehow think that they are winning the grand fight that they have been waging for more than a century, they have made great strides in our educational systems, in the media, and in the elections of 2006 and 2008 our government.  That is all true, but what they have also done is they have awakened the sleeping giant that is center and center right America.  We saw the consequences of that awakening in the 2010 elections, and continue to see it in the national debate, even those who consider themselves Democrats will be astonished as they learn about and understand what the progressive movement of John Dewey and those that came after him really is.. It will once again be rejected by the American people as it has throughout our history.
     
    Sarah Palin’s popularity and the press’s obsession with her exists’ only because she has become iconic in this fight.  It matters little what her policies are or even what she has to say, people want to see her because in her they see the America they know and love, not the transformed America that our president promised us.

    I don’t think the oil companies in Alaska would agree with you regarding Palin. Gingrich is always exploring ways to make government work better. Corporate America sees it as the bar constantly moving. The true corporatists are the ones, Democrat and Republican, with the biggest war chests. That’s Obama and whoever Rove is directing funds to.

  • Roxy62485

    Wow the quotes you attributed to her are completely wrong. You said she said “I think the good folks near iowa, you can ask be in here and I think they would tell you, it is time this country is put back on the right track.”  You hack that doesn’t even make sense listen to the first 1 min people and you will see why we call the media biased. I see them do this to her all the time. Colby get your head out of your butt and report the truth.

    Palin is so out of date, she peaked last year and will eventually slide into a comfortable and well deserved obscurity.

    Immature simpletons, such as yourself, shouldn’t call other people ”idiot”. Birther? Simple repetitivness replaces thought for most liberals as demonstrated by your post. He’s a comedian, it was a joke. Funny.

  • Valkyrie101

    You under estimate how much Palin does not like Mitt. And if Bachmann is forced out by all the resistence she is getting, and Perry’s baggage catches up with him, and Mitt romps, you will indeed see at least one new tea party take shape and the likely leader is Palin, whether she is the candidate or not. I think she and Trump have a plan.

    I noticed that misquote in Colby Hall’s piece as well.

    Although I attribute it more to sloppy journalism (by Colby Hall) than I do to an anti-Palin bias on what is basically a right-leaning website.

    Thank you, REAL HEAD LINE.  I think the joke originated on Letterman, seriously!  Wasn’t there a debate recently over who has better sense of humor, Left or Right?  LOL

    I think, HOWARD’s reaction to the joke was, um, er, disproportionate to any perceived derogation of our President?  LOL

    Thanks again, Your Chum, Purveyor

    Palin will not make a third party run as that would only serve to split the conservative vote.  It does not take a genius to predict this and she knows well that she would have to carry the weight of a second Obama term on her shoulders…  it is not going to happen as it is self-defeating and serves only to hurt her own cause..  She is too well positioned in American politics to allow herself to be relegated to the obscure pages of American history as was Ross Perot. 
    Like I said, she is iconic, her presence in the National Spot Light only frustrates and brings out the worst in progressives, and she finds great pleasure in this as she is met with overwhelming support and love anywhere that she shows up…  Look how the media reacts to her, look at this site alone at the hate and contempt that is exhibited each time she shows up anywhere. It’s priceless!  No Sarah is having fun, she expresses in the simplest of terms the hope of conservatism and she will still have relevance after Obama has become an afterthought along side of his kindred spirit, Jimmy Carter.

    Glad you noticed it to Michael but in no way do I think this is a right leaning website. You should check out Colby’s twitter page if you have twitter and you will see where he stands. I would give him more benifit of doubt if there was just one wrong word in the quote but it was diced up through the whole thing.  I don’t know maybe just because I see this happen to her on ABC, CBS, and NBC websites as well. It just gets annoying to me just quote her correctly and let people make up their minds. My advice to everyone listen to the audio for both Sarah and Obama instead of just reading about it.

    RRFCL–

    now you are making huge generalizations about san franciscans

    If Mitt wins the tea party is not going to feel particularly happy that they do not have their own candidate. In any event, beating Obama is very unlikely so if Sarah makes an investment is getting a new party going if could pay off later.

    Are you suggesting that Coby Hall the author of this post has not read a book in the last 25 years has not read a book?  If you listen to the clip Sarah never spoke those words, more than likely it is Coby’s weak transcription of what Mrs. Palin said.  Maybe you should ask Coby for clarification on your statement.

    Either Palin is the most indecisive person or she is just playing the media for attention. It shouldn’t take this long to consider. She’s obviously lying. She’s not considering anything. Shes focused on promoting herself. She says shes on a “tour”. Shes not a musician. Normal people would just call it a vacation/roadtrip. Ever since 08 she decided she didn’t want a life in government. I’m fine with her doing whatever she wants in life. I’m more surprised at people that actually believe she’s still a politician and will one day govern.

    Wrong the media is a Palin whore. I thought you guys said she didn’t talk to the media. She goes around them and they follow her it’s not her problem.

  • Footballchik1

    Will you come back here and admit your wrong when she announces? That goes for all of you that says she’s not running.

    You are right that if Mitt wins the Tea Party will feel even less warm to him than they did to McCain, but regardless the President has no chance in 2012.. The Tea Party as well as moderate republicans and independents will turn out to vote against the president.  He has been overwhelmed by his office and all the idealogs that he has surrounded himself with from his professorial days have shown little understanding of a real economy…  they have brought all the left wing ideology of how markets and economies work in their utopian vision and tried to apply them to the real world in time of crisis and failed miserably.  They have done more long-term damage than they have short-term repair.  Now here we go again in round three, it will be more of the same coming from the left as they call for added stimulus and QE3 which will only serve to further raise our national debt and deflate the dollar in time of a balance sheet crisis for the US economy…  The president is still committed to not allowing this economy to exploit our own energy resources, to the contrary he is unleashing regulatory authority which only further slows and frustrates the economy.  He shows no ability to balance the economic good of the country and the people of this country with the left’s insistence of global warming and their dream of being able to recreate an American economy that would lead the world in green technologies..  He has greatly miscalculated on his ability to make this happen as both the economic downturn and the failure of the Congress to pass cap and trade into law have completely undermined this Democratic plan to transform our capitalist society into something different.  Now he is stuck in stupid mode as he continues to frustrate the economy with his regulatory machine while having no ability to capitalize and develop an alternative economy to fuel growth and jobs.  In a simple word he is a “failed” president.  He bet big on those who advised him and they were just plain and simply wrong!

    Look to Europe, they are begging us to follow their example as the resultant effect of their austerity programs have resulted in stronger economic growth than here in the US.  Their economies are heavily dependent on the US economy and they have no confidence in this President.  I am convinced that Mr. Obama was not prepared for his job, not only his performance suggests this but there is nothing in his background to make anyone believe otherwise.

    No Kumbaya?  It was all in good fun.  Making light of regional differences, etc.  Well, and of course, Nancy Pelosi. 

    True, redwoods exist quite a distance down the state, but I would draw a bold distinction between “redwoods,” and “behind the Redwood Curtain.”  As I wrote before, these distinctions are subjective.  

    As for Northern California water going to Central California, I was referring to Shasta and Trinity Dams, part of the Central Valley Project, which, according to the Water Education Foundation, in a normal year delivers 7 million acre-feet of water to about 3 million acres of farmland in the Central Valley, as well as cities in Contra Costa County and several million urban customers in the Santa Clara Valley Water District.  Thus, Northern California water makes much of the produce grown in the rich soil of the Central Valley possible. 

    Lastly, I am puzzled by what my “huge generalizations” about San Franciscans were.  That the Bay Area has city dwellers?  That they keep sending Nancy Pelosi back to Congress?  That Northern Californians look down upon them (which would be a generalization about Northern Californians, not San Franciscans)?

    Daughter Piper was sure given the impression that the tour through New England was a “vacation’ or at least she nastily told all the reporters to leave them alone because they were ruining her “vacation”.  First time I have seen a famly take a vacation in a greyhound bus with a big sign on it that practically says “Follow me- Sarah”
