From Ballot Access News, July 1st, 2013:
Recently, Sarah Palin hinted she would consider leaving the Republican Party. U.S. News and World Report contacted the Libertarian Party and the Reform Party to get reactions. See this story.
An excerpt from the linked article above, written by Steven Nelson and published on USNews.com today, follows:

Bernie Quigley comments on what he thinks would be a formidable and workable third party over at The Pundit’s Blog at The Hill.
… Read more ...Ron Paul has brought a sea change in American politics. Without Paul there is no Tea Party of substance. It is merely a populist howl without vision or direction and we have heard it all before.
From an email sent to IPR by Darryl Perry, chair of the Boston Tea Party:
I was recently asked if Sarah Palin was a member of the BTP. This question arose from the fact that the former Alaska Governor has recently, one more than one occasion, quoted the BTP slogan, “party like it’s 1773!” Unlike other parties, BTP membership is confidential; I can neither confirm nor deny that Sarah Palin is a member of the BTP.… Read more ...
From Public Policy Polling via Third Party and Independent Daily:
… Read more ...We’ve found a lot of brutal poll numbers for Sarah Palin so far in 2011: down in South Dakota, down in South Carolina, down in Arizona, only up by 1 point in Texas, only up by 1 point in Nebraska to name a few.
H/T Peter Gemma:
Suzi Parker at Politics Daily speculates that may run as something other than a Republican. Excerpt:
… Read more ...Palin certainly has many of the qualities of a third-party candidate – charismatic and passionate, with a status as an outsider intent on storming the barricades of the establishment.
Consider previous candidates with engaging and controversial personalities who attempted to carve their own path to the Oval Office.
Dear Friend of Liberty,
I think you’ll enjoy this video of the LP in action at CPAC (pronounced "see-pack"), the Conservative Political Action Conference.
LP Headquarters staff and volunteers hosted a booth last Thursday through Saturday here in Washington, D.C., featuring the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and the "Republican Wall of Shame."
Our new video specialist, Nigel Lyons, interviewed everyone from Libertarians to Republicans, as well as representatives from various nonpartisan groups like Students for Liberty and Young Americans for Liberty.… Read more ...

Lisa Murkowski defeats Tea Party to win Senate race
… Read more ...Ms Murkowski was defeated in August for the [Republican] party nomination by Joe Miller, who had been endorsed by ex-Governor Sarah Palin.
Ms Murkowski told supporters to write her name on the ballot [for US Senator from Alaska], and is the first candidate to win a so-called write-in bid for Senate since 1954.
Third Party and Independent Daily:
From Rasmussen, via KintlaLake:
… Read more ...A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 31% of likely primary voters say they are at least somewhat likely to consider supporting a third-party candidate for president if former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the GOP nominee.
We reported yesterday that the American Constitution Party’s candidate for Governor of Colorado, Tom Tancredo, had received the endorsement of the former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Palin also recorded a robocall for Tancredo, which will be heard by voters from all over the state. In the call, Palin says in part:
… Read more ...“Tom is the right man for the job, and he’ll fight for lower taxes, he’ll stop growing government, and start growing the economy.
This is late breaking news. See the PPS:
First, I want to tell you the latest. With one day to go we remain in a statistical dead heat with the tax and spend, pro-amnesty Hickenlooper. It’s just remarkable! Hickenlooper has spent over $4 million in his campaign and we just broke $1 million last week.… Read more ...
Via Peace and Freedom Blog, registered Peace and Freedom Party voter Cindy Sheehan writes at Peace of the Action:

In a stunning upset, Tea Party activist and Sarah Palin-endorsee Joe Miller appears to have upset incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in Tuesday’s Republican primary election. Though there are still around ten thousand absentee ballots yet to be counted, analysts agree it is unlikely Murkowski will be able to close her 1,668 vote deficit.… Read more ...
