Independent group urges Iowans to "vote rogue" - for Palin

An independent group of Iowa Republicans is urging fellow Iowans to "vote rogue" on January 3, and caucus for a candidate who has already declared she isn't running: Sarah Palin.

"Are you unhappy with the current GOP field?" says a narrator in a radio ad. "Let me tell you something, you are not alone. Join thousands of Iowans as we vote rogue. It's the caucus for Sarah Palin on January 3. Let Iowa and the entire country know we want real leadership and real reform in DC. So come on Iowa, vote rogue on January 3!"

The ads are paid for by a group calling itself "Sarah Palin's Iowa Earthquake." In addition to the radio ads, the organization is readying television for the upcoming weekend, according to a Facebook page that appears to represent the group.

Palin flirted for months with the idea of launching a presidential campaign, but announced in October that she would not be doing so.

And while a write-in campaign for the former Alaska governor is very unlikely to succeed - particularly given that she has missed the filing deadline for several states' primaries - it is possible in Iowa, as caucus-goers could just write her name on the list of candidates.

I prefer the mispelling on the link: "Go Rouge".

AllI can say is: "Puuuuuuulease!" Isn't this squirrel circus ridiculous enough?!

Iowa is still up in the air. I wouldn't be surprised if America does go Rogue and it starts with the Earthquake in Iowa. This presidential race could turn into a four person race. Paul could run Librarian which would take votes from Obama, Romney will be the Rino pick and Obama for the liberals, and Palin for the American.

Real Americans?

"Paul could run <b>Librarian</b>..."

Nah, he'd take votes away from the Naughty Librarian, aka Sarah Palin.

Slim, smart, stylish, sensitive Gov. Sarah Palin is certainly the most competent & qualified potential presidential candidate from either political party.

Cool the hormones, chief.

Palin wouldn't want to know of your "affection" for her.

[coomback]

$carah could care less about you and yours, straight up the only thing that interests her is the amount of money $he can $cam from you simpletons

"Are you unhappy with the current GOP field?" says a narrator in a radio ad. "Let me tell you something, you are not alone...palin is just as qualified as all the other republican candidates...thats an insult to all the clowns in the circus.

[nearl451]

Who wouldn't be happy with the current GOP field?

[bjdzyak]

Who's the more foolish? The Fool or the Fools who follow her?

[merlgrey]

in this case, absolutely the fools that follow her.

[fedup12]

They could vote rogue for Ron Paul.

[pr_boxer]

Oh I guess she'll decide to run, as will Donald Trump, and the GOP will probably dig up some other clown.

[Michael_Sexton]

When I see her in playboy then I will vote for her.

[thechooch1]

Wrinkles and all.

[SharonSC]

The GOP primary race only needed this to complete the hot mess it has become. Oy.

I doubt it'll go anywhere. I suspect the effort will only embarrass Palin in the end. Only a few die-hard Palinbots will heed the call, and the votes she gets, if they're even statistically meaningful, will be proof positive that her fifteen minutes were up a long, long time ago.

Sarah said 3 months ago she was going to sue for defamation regarding the book about her coke-snorting and all.

Sure takes Sarah a long time to get a suit filed, eh?
