I actually agree with Palin.<\/p>\n<p>Then she talked some more about the next presidential race and said she gets asked whether <em>she<\/em> intends to run for the White House in two years.<\/p>\n<p>Would the ex-governor be the Republican who runs, probably against Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton?<\/p>\n<p>Perish the thought. No, blow that thought to smithereens, never to be mentioned or even thought of ever again!<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Barracuda must not run for president. Then again, were she to run, she might be exposed for the intellectual fraud that she&#8217;s always been. But the Republican Party is full of serious politicians who are committed to fulfilling their public responsibilities &#8212; unlike Palin, who quit halfway through her only term as Alaska governor. Reality TV and Fox News beckoned with big bucks. Moreover, New Mexico has a competent governor in Susana Martinez; Oklahoma is governed by Mary Fallin; newly elected U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa might turn out to be a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Palin for president? Good grief, no. A billion times no!<\/p>\n<p>However, I concur with her desire to see women in both major parties suited up for a run for the presidency. It well might be time to cross that important political threshold.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hell froze over this evening.
