Ex-Governor Sarah Palin made a high-profile appearance. Of course she did. It was a high profile GOP/Tea Party week. And she has been out of the news cycles for two or three weeks. She told reporters on at the fair on Friday that she had watched the debate on Thursday night and saw nothing that made her think that the Republican field was closed to late entrants. We agree with her on that point, anyhow. There's room, because there is maybe one marginally viable candidate.
We say butt out, Democrats. Quit rending your garments over Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich and the others. Let them nominate their Goldwater, say a Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann. In our own house, we need to decide who our own candidate will be. At his break-neck fund-raising pace, it seems highly unlikely that BHO will pull an LBJ. But you just never know.
USA Today's web site reports "Sarah Plain caused a media and fan frenzy as they swarmed her from the minute she and her entourage stepped onto the fairgrounds." She may be coy about whether she will run or not, but she can't resist a media opportunity.
"There is still plenty of room," said Sarah Palin, as she was mobbed by the press. “There is still plenty of room for a common sense conservative,” she said, once again stirring up speculation that she might after all enter the 2012 fray.
