Listen to Dave Ross Commentary: Is it too late for Sarah Palin to join the race?

The polls are now showing a TIE for the Republican presidential nomination. There was the Gingrich surge, then the Ron Paul surge, and now, finally, the Romney surge — ROMNEY now tied with Gingrich.

But with this much jostling for the ball, you want to keep your eye on the sidelines because politics is a game where the special teams can send themselves in at any time…and on Fox Business last night, there was a little commotion on the bench …

palin“It’s not too late for folks to jump in. I don’t know. Who knows what will happen in the future,” said Sarah Palin on the FOX Business channel.

Yes, there was Sarah Palin, in full uniform, wearing a very visible cross pendant, with a lighted Christmas tree in the background, on the Fox Business channel buttering up anchor Eric Bolling:

“It would be fun to work with you Eric on a debate and on other issues that have to do with energy policy because I know your decades that you have spent studying energy.”

And Eric was keeping it real, doing what athletes do when they want to win:

“Before we go I’m going to Tebow,” said Bolling.

 

An on-air Tebow, hoping for a Hail Sarah. Will it happen? Can’t say.

In the meantime I continue to scan the bench…

“Look we’re a bunch of fools and we’re being led by a fool,” said Donald Trump.

Anybody want to Tebow to get him on the field? Or would that be greedy?
