President 2012: Sarah Palin Reaching Out to Iowa Republican Activists

Well, Sarah will be in Iowa for the premiere of her new documentary, “The Undefeated.”

Sarah Palin’s camp is reaching out to activists and operatives in Iowa about setting up meetings while she’s in the state Tuesday for the screening of a documentary about her – including with Chuck Laudner, a former Iowa GOP executive director and prominent conservative.

Laudner confirmed to POLITICO he’d gotten a call from Palin’s advisers either Friday or over the weekend asking about meeting with him while she’s in Pella for the screening of “The Undefeated.”

“They said I was on the list” for people she wanted to get together with, said Laudner, who has ties to staunch conservative Rep. Steve King – who, in congress, has formed an alliance with Rep. Michele Bachmann.

Laudner sounded a skeptical note about whether Palin is truly serious, or, as he said, “dancing around.”

“I’d be interested to see if she’s serious about a run,” he said. “That’d be (question) A, and B, would it be too late. That’s what it feels like, anyway. It’s not too late now, (but if you) dance around until fall” it will be.

Nonetheless, he said, many conservatives are waiting to see what happens with Palin and Rick Perry, he said – discounting Tim Pawlenty as a “dead stick” and Herman Cain and Rick Santorum as “cruising along.” He did not mention Newt Gingrich.

It really is getting late in the race and I think Sarah is dancing around and waiting for Rick Perry to make a move. If the Texas Governor runs there will be sufficient split votes to give Palin a chance to emerge as the anti-Romney candidate.

Frankly, Sarah has let time escape and will have a difficult time in regrouping and putting a winning campaign in place.

But, with Sarah, expect the unexpected.

    All hail to Astroturf TeaBparty Queen (ASQ), Michele Bachmann. Isn’t she the one that who rails against the Federal Government while every year she benefits from farm subsidies and adopts kids to work them on same farm. Oh yeah she is also a self-proclaimed historian on the US Founding Fathers and US history. The sad truth she will lie to get her way, what honor is there in that? But if you manipulate our US history and double down when you are found out, well don’t go crying to Fake News when you lose. Kind of like the Former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (Most recent quitter of her Bus Tour to restore America). We remember what happen when after “W” manipulate Florida to win the presidency and his failure to win any of the two wars he started that devastated our treasury and ruined our economy for the next 50 years. If the GOP thinks that Michele Bachmann is the answer, good luck with that.

      I just love it when the LEFT becomes so “Unhinged” when it comes to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

      The demeaning ridicule ala Saul Alinsky is just so predictable.
