Sarah Palin: A Third Party Is Possible

Yesterday, I posted that Sarah Palin criticizing Mitt Romney made her sound more like a candidate. Her interview with Sean Hannity has given me pause on this matter. It struck me as I watched the interview what she had to say about a possible third party. You can watch the clip and decide for yourself.

Sarah Palin's warning to the Republican establishment coupled with her comments about RomneyCare yesterday are painting a picture, her vision. Palin gets it. She feels the angst and is trying to get the message to the Beltway Establishment/I don't think they are listening. Whatever one's opinion of her prospects in politics the fact remains she has a better grasp for the mood of the country than her critics.

Palin is right about the mood of the country and the future of the Republican Party. They can't blow the opportunity.If the G.O.P. loses this next election to Obama, then all bets are off regarding its future. Millions of Americans,conservatives,tea partiers etc were not enamored with Republican spending and won't tolerate a return.

In her comments she made reference to the rise of the Republican Party and the demise of the Whig Party. We shall see, but whether Sarah Palin runs for President is not nearly as relevant as her clear understanding of the stakes for the party of Lincoln if it betrays tried and true conservative principles in favor of power at all costs. The people of the country across the political and ideological spectrum have a sense of where things are headed and are all the more aware that the "in crowd" doesn't get it. The video is below.
