The wingnuts over at Conservatives4Palin.com (there’s no Liberals4Palin.com, I checked) believe that Sarah Palin will announce she’s running for president of the United States Feb. 6, 2011.

Because that’s the 100th anniversary of the nativity of Ronald Reagan, the Jesus of Conservatism, silly.

The brains behind this prediction belong to Kevin DuJan, founder and editor of HillBuzz.org, who attended two recent speeches by Palin in Illinois, and provided some “analysis” that is nothing if not trenchant. But first, we should qualify DuJan as an analyst with this excerpt from his analysis:

Todd’s there, in a sharp suit with colorful tie, standing behind dark, heavy curtains. He’s off to the side, out of the way backstage, watching his wife fire up the awesome on all cylinders before enthusiastic crowds hanging on her every word. There’s a twinkle in his husky blue eyes and the first twitch of a smile on a crisply-goateed impish face straining desperately to remain serious, surrounded as he is by burly men in suits with ear pieces, cell phones, iPads, and itineraries aplenty. Though the Palins are very much in the national big time now, and will be for the rest of their lives, Todd’s seemingly still very much “just Todd” — a regular, huntin’, fishin’, snowmachinin’, g’-droppin’, dude from Wasilla, married to an incredible woman he still can’t believe he was lucky enough to sweep off her feet. That smile’s a “I can’t believe we’re doing this” smile, married perfectly to a “What did I ever do to deserve a woman as awesome as this?” grin. It’s a match as natural, easy-going, and honest as the Palins themselves.

Bit gushy, ain’t it. What are “husky blue eyes?” And I never thought of Todd Palin as having an “impish face.” He just looks like another none-too-bright shit-kicker to me.

The hyper-conservative thousand-yard stare.

OK, now that we have established DuJan’s bona fides, let’s look at the heart — the husky heart — of his analysis:

1. DuJan has attended two Palin speeches in the past month
2. Both of them were in Illinois
3. In both speeches, Palin cited President Ronald Reagan as a driving influence in her life and political career, drawing great attention to the fact Reagan was born and educated in Illinois
4. Uh, there is no 4

Ergo, Palin will declare on Reagan’s 100th. Clear as day.

Besides his considerable analytical abilities, DuJan can flat snark with the best of ‘em:

When she comes to places like Rosemont and Washington, she comes to speak, but not in the droning tone of professorial Obama descended from styrofoam-pillored Olympus with his edicts of the day, acolytes scattering lotus flowers at his feet and pouring sweet nectar of Lethe into poisoned chalices for the ignorant to drink. No, Palin’s not a pretender, a poser, not someone who spent countless hours listening to tapes of Jeremiah Wright’s fiery speeches to learn the cadences he’d need to sell his snake oil with maximum theatrics. Palin is not Obama the Lightbringer, the ethereal and magical being whom Oprah crowned “The One” and legions of cultish admirers paint astride unicorns in twisted fan art and hero worship. And that’s just the Nobel Prize committee.

Ouch! With DuJan on her side, how did Hillary Clinton ever lose? With Dujan on her side, that’s how. The boy is just crazy:

In both the Rosemont and Washington speeches, Palin clearly drew a line on the ice with her sharpest skate and dared anyone in the world to lay a finger on America’s greatest friend in the world, Israel. She extolled the virtues of Earth’s pluckiest and most determined nation — a country that sits upon the gates of Hell, that is often the only thing standing between order and chaos. Israel the brave, Israel the bold, Israel our true friend and ally.

We’d imagine President Palin defending Israel with the strength of a momma grizzly taking care of her cubs … or of a hockey mom jumping the railing and hitting the ice to pull an ogre of a bully off of her kid. The pitt bull’s got lipstick — to distract you from her bite.

Colorful stuff, no? Kevin DuJan has drunk the Koolaid. He’s become a true believer. He’s off his bloody rocker.

Let’s just hope he does for Sarah Palin what he did for Hillary Clinton.
