Will September 1st See A Launch Of “Palin 2016” Sites & “Red Puma” Sites?
Posted by M.Joseph Sheppard At Palin4President2016 on March 24, 2012
The GOP’s convention in Tampa runs from August 27th to August 30th. If on August 31st Sarah Palin is not the presidential nominee (or perhaps more unlikely the vice-presidential nominee) as a result of a brokered convention, then a repeat, to a substantial degree of the PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) phenomenon of 2008 is on the cards.
Hilary Clinton had a massive following, including many dedicated female supporters who, desperately unhappy with what they saw as Clinton being cheated out of the nomination created numerous PUMA blogs.
These blogs ran a serious anti-Obama campaign thought the election period and a few still exist today and it is quite feasible they will be recreated should President Obama lose in November. One would expect to see a substantial number of Hillary 2106 sites mid-November no matter how many times Clinton denies she will run.
Similarly I am in little doubt that by September 1st a substantial number of “Red PUMA” sites will have sprung up in support of Palin, and some of them quite openly hostile to Romney should he be the nominee.
That Palin will not be seen as having been robbed of the nomination by the GOP hierarchy, supported by the media, since she chose not to run, is of course a significant difference.
Of course, if there is a brokered convention, and Palin is seen as being denied the nomination by smoke filled room machinations, then the Palin supporters will explode. The most likely being they will sit the election out-even if she endorses Romney or whomever the nominee is.
However one only has to have a quick read of comments on various pro-Palin sites to see, that what appears to be a significant number, will not vote for Romney and, if he is the nominee, will be open to supporting the PUMA sites. This again, even if Palin supports the eventual nominee.
One thing is absolutely certain, if the GOP nominee loses to President Obama, then the day after the election the PUMA sites will be transformed into Palin 2016 sites and the left/right battle for the heart and soul of the GOP will have commenced.

Sarah Palin should have run this year! If Obama gets re-elected another term we will not survive as America as we knew it until 2016!!!!

Now things during the last few years seem to make more sense. When Sarah first gave a hint that she was running someone on fox said it wasn’t her turn. It really took me by suprise.Then one the primary started and once it got so far along we started hearing they needed to let it be over and let Romney be the nomination. First thing I thought he didn’t have enough votes. Less than a 1/4 of the states had been heard from but they wanted Romney to be the winner. Why because Romney has been annointed. If I lived in one of the states that didn’t get a chance to vote I would be upset. This will be my first presential election now I find myself wishing I had not looked into the elections. Sarah Palin won my heart just like she has many other americians. She is someone who rose above all the hatred they threw at her.She was able to keep a smile on her face through all the attacks not just on her but also her family. I don’t understand the hatered in america.She didn’t expect her to get extra special treat because she is a woman but she should have been at least been treated equal to a man.This is america not a third world country. Still today a woman are not equal to a man. Why? When will america allow a woman to stand as least as high as a man. Instead of a second class citzen. The democrats could not go against her record so they attacked her and lied about her. The democrats were not totally to blame the republicans share some of the blame.When you watch someone treated and not speak up it is the same as you did the wrong.The elite republicans that believe it is there place to be in Washington. That they know better than the citizens. I for one am totally disgusted with the crony capitalism.If the repulican party is only for the elites then maybe we need to look else where. They wonder why the republicans don’t win the house or senate more than they should. They keep doing the same things wrong. They do what the elites want then try to tell us who is the right one. I don’t want a president who bought his way to get there. How many got behind him did he also back with contributions. You all forget how many Romney got behind not to many. Sarah Palin was the one who stood for those candidates she stuck her neck out more than anyone else. I hope more wake up before it is too late.

As I’ve said here – and on other sites – only out of the ashes of the OLD Republican Party will a phoenix, such as Sarah Palin, arise and lead the NEW GOP toward a more Conservative future!

Yes Indeed, My current thoughts are Palin or no one. I am seriously thinking of sitting this one out, I am tired of voting for someone else’s candidate. Maybe it’s true that we have to sink to the very bottom before enough people realize what the problem is.
