Sarah Palin To Eric Bolling: 'I'm Game' To Run For Office, 'All Bets Are Off' In A Brokered Convention

Palin retold the story of how she ended up becoming Sen. McCain’s vice presidential nominee, making the somewhat profound statement that once she got on the airplane to Arizona, she “essentially never came home again.” She did say that “I’m still there, I’m still an Alaskan,” and maintained her good spirits by refusing to dread things. With the enthusiasm that Palin received after her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Bolling could not help but ask what Palin was thinking of doing with her future. She answered that she was reading to help America any way she could, and if it meant “running for office at some point in the future, I’m game.” “Want to elaborate on that?” Bolling asked, getting a flat “No!”

Palin began her answer asserting that she saw the possibility of a brokered convention as a very real one. “If it had to be kind of closed up today, the whole nominating process, then we would be looking at a brokered convention,” she responded, since “nobody is quite there yet.” If it came to a brokered convention, “all bets are off as to who it will be willing to offer themselves up in the name of service to their country.” She added only that she “would be willing to help any way that I can,” which is about as open a declaration of a brokered convention candidacy she could give– and, as is her wont, she elaborated no more than that.

Ridiculous wishful thinking on the part of our beloved Sarah Palin. Even if they do have a brokered convention, which is extremely unlikely, Palin would never nominated! more than likely they'd still pick Romney. And if for some bizarre reason they picked someone who hadn't gone through the process, which is even more unlikely, Jeb Bush or Chris Christie would be my bet.

She answered that she was reading to help America any way she could, and if it meant "running for office at some point in the future, I'm game."

That only means that she will start asking for money again in her website to maintain her lifestyle. Also, it means that she will continue making appearances to self-glorify herself, to finally said at the end that "My family comes first, and I can't really run for office". She usses her bus to take paid vacations and continually inflate her ego. It needs much hot air, just like Donald Trump. Too much as a blimp is not enough.

However, the stupid Republicans that keep following her keep sending her money. Mosty horny men that need viagra, and wet dreams. She and her fmily are some big PARASITES. They know that as long as Sarah keeps her looks; people will keep donating money to her. Let's see how popular she is when she turns 65 or 70.

When are you idiots of the Republican party will realize that she is only in for the money? MORON$!

My great fear (and what I think is likely in fact) is that this GOP primary circus is setting up their base in order to push their real candidate at a brokered election. This candidate will not have undergone the rock polisher that is the primary and will appear muchmore sane to their base.

Either Jeb Bush or Christie.

If it came to a brokered convention, “all bets are off as to who it will be willing to offer themselves up in the name of service to their country.”

The problem with Sarah and sooo many Republicans is that they think politics and especially economics are a game. It should be made clear that there is no place for anyone in politics who doesn't take their job very seriously of representing a progressive future for all people above everything else anywhere in the World. Those that think so are selfish bigots who are shortsighted and just plain wrong in the head.

For Palin to drop in at the last minute without going through the campaign process in which the voters get to see what she is made of would be consistent with her ONLY OTHER POLITICAL EXPERIENCE ON A NATIONAL LEVEL. It would be just like when she was plucked from obscurity by the McCain campaign.

All the notoriety and none of the hard work. That would probably make a good campaign slogan for her.

People may ridicule her, but she knows a lot. For example, she knows that Norwegians come from Norwegia, the pope lives in Israel, and Fort Knox is the nation's gold suppository. Further, she knows that people not using protection during sex, risk social diseases like grape nuts or moby dick. So, be careful!

    I think Palin's problem with running for anything, is that no one wants her anymore. If her money supply is dwindling, she will be looking for the stupid right wingers to foot her bill. Maybe she should go get an actual job and stick with it.

    If Jeb Bush has a shot at the White House, I think it would have to be from a brokered convention in 2016. When you stop to think about 2016, it is hard to imagine who the Democrats will come up with.

    I'd say it would be much closer to a bonkered convention.

    The sad part is that along with the obvious wealth-worshippers, there'd be those who'd vote for him just for the novelty of having a father and brother who previously screwed the nation. It sure as hell wouldn't say much for us.

              Dear Sarah Palin,

              Since nobody around you will tell you the truth ....I will !!! You will NEVER be president of the United States.. EVER !! I can think of about 10 reasons that you will not be president, but I will limit this list to 5. The first reason you will never be president is because you are as dumb as a box of rocks. With the exception of Christine O'Donnell, I can't think of any other politician, past or present, who is as dumb as you and with the recent pool of Republican candidates that is saying alot. When it comes to intelligence, you are closer to needing a helmet then being a member of mensa. The second reason you will never be president is that the people that support you fall into 3 categories: 1) Old white guys that want to nail you, 2) Women who want to be you (usually called rednecks or trailer park trash), or 3) Racist who can't stand that N@@#! in the white house. You can't win with the first 2 categories because they just mirror the US mental health statistics ... aroung 18% of the population. The 3rd category is a large group, but when they find out you got nailed by a black man (Glen Rice) you will lose their votes. The third reason you will never be president is that although Jared Laughner was a nutcase, most people believe that your rethoric was a factor in Gabrielle Gifford being shot and a little girl being killed. What made it worse was that after the incident happened, you decided to act like a victim even after you were warned by your boss to be quiet and lay low. The fourth reason that you will never be president is that you still can't figure out that the primary reason McCain lost the 2008 election is because you were tapped to be his running mate. In 2008, McCain made every effort to say that President Obama had bad judgement and then he picked you as his VP. If he had vetted you properly then you would have easily been removed from the list and would still be living in obscurity in Alaska. The fifth reason you would never be president is that you represent the "Party of Family Values" and your family values are well... It was documented that the had a one night stand with a basketball player and may have had an affair with your husband's friend, your unwed high school daughter was knocked up by the son of a drug dealer, and your other daughter is a hoodlum who vandalized a empty house in Alaska. So continue to believe that you could be president, because I will pull for you in the Republican Convention. I want you to be the Republican candidate so the president can win by a landslide and to watch you make a fool of yourself.... again.

              You professor of truth,

                God no. I can't stand to listen to her talk, I mean LIE. Her folksy, stump jumper, ditsy voice drives me up a wall. I detest her. No, she just needs to GO AWAY!

                determined, Please, you've got to be kidding. You actually think that the village idiot could beat Obama? That's the best joke I've heard all day!

                Well, this election is similar to what the Dems did in 2004.

                I'm game for hitting the Powerball, and moving to a beachfront house in Honolulu, but like Sarah Plain , it's not going to happen. ( No I did not misspell her name, I said what I said ).

                America has had their fill of the Harpy from Wasilla. No substance, no personality, nothing but a face that some might call pretty. 1/2 a term and she thinks that she's the anointed one. Guess what Sarah, your Tea Party is now almost as irrelevant as you are.

                Palin, like the rest of the nation/world, is watching with ill-disguised horror the Kocksuckers play their game. And she's thinking, aha, she could have walked away with the whole enchilada. (She's not horrified by the games-people-play, she brought her popcorn and is here to enjoy the show. And give a play-by-play for Faux.)

                Now she wants an undo and redo. She might just get it. After another overwhelming defeat under her belt, she might learn we don't want her leading the little red wagon, let alone the nation.

                Ya betcha

                Wink, wink, giggle, giggle.

                Palin has had plenty of opportunities to step up to the plate and declare her candidacy. But she lacks the intellect, the work ethic, and the intestinal fortitude for a serious campaign ... and she knows it.

                But she's gotta keep up appearances, lest her foolish fan base come to their collective senses and recognize that Sarah only cares about the popular and financial success of Sarah.

                So instead she has opted for the world of "make believe" where she can pretend that she is -- or might possibly, perhaps, one day officially become -- a candidate, and thereby rake in millions of dollars (via donations, book sales, and speaking engagements), bask in the media spotlight, give shallow, snarky speeches and interviews, and evade any true responsibilities.

                Advice to Palinites -- get used to the disappointment.

                Palin is NEVER going to run for office. That is laughable. See, running for office is real work, gaining the office is even more work, and the thing we know about little Sarah? She avoids work whenever possible.

                Don't you people have jobs?

                No.

                HAVING an office is work.

                (which is why she quit)

                She's been RUNNING for office for the past four years... She's just not sure which office.

                All she has to do is travel and run her mouth. She doesn't have to be right, or prudent, or frugal. She really doesn't have to be anything but present.

                It's even easier than selling books... since she doesn't even need to produce a book to get paid for this.

                No work involved.

                Dear God,

                Please let Rick Santorum be the Republican nominee. Please let him pick Sarah Palin for his VP slot.

                Thank you,

                  You have to give her credit for having found a niche which will provide loads of cash for years to come. Free enterprise, the American dream, capitalism all rolled into one walking billboard. Not too shabby for a person who is lucky that her worshippers don't accept the FACTS about her political legacy in Alaska.

                  Hey, if Caribou Barbie can turn this into a decent living, more power to her. She has no place in government- even at PTA level- but, if those repulsive Khardashians can get the rubes to watch their crap, Caribou Barbie is at least as entertaining . . . in a train wreck sorta way.

                  if palin, by some act of a prank playing god, were to get the nomination, it wouldn't be from a brokered convention. it would be as a result of a broken convention. a party in such bad shape that it couldn't be repaired. para sailin's hopes may be high, but she will soon loose the thermal, start to fall, and meet the cold reality of an alaskan ice field.
