Andrew Sullivan is right about Sarah Palin’s presumed presidential run. His bottom line: She’s running. And I’m inclined to agree. Palin 2012 is already in motion. And some are frothing at the mouth at the prospect. But Sullivan isn’t one of them.
“She has wanted to be president for much of her adult political life. She wanted it well over a decade ago. She risked a huge amount in saying yes to John McCain, a gamble of monumental proportions, in the pursuit of that goal. She believes sincerely that she is on a mission from God, that she is the Esther of the End-Times. Why is any of this hard to understand? By her words and her actions, she wants to be the GOP nominee. And at a time when Republican extremism is the brand, who better represents the party than she?”
Those who dismiss her thirst for executive power, as mere gossip, do so at their peril. To negate the obvious is delusional. Palin is a force to be reckoned with. She whips crowds into a frenzy with simplistic one-liners. And her fundraising prowess is unmatched within Republican circles.
So gear up for the roaring flood that is Palin, soon to be unleashed in a year or so. By then she will have established herself as the official, clear-cut, presumptive Republican nominee for president.
And who on the right has the goods to stop the political whirlwind that is Palin? Certainly not Mitt Romney.
She’s coming. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
