Gary Bauer Calls Reports of Sarah Palin's Political Death 'Premature';
Predicts Pundits May Have to 'Eat Their Words'

WASHINGTON, July 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former presidential candidate
Gary Bauer on July 4th said that reports of Sarah Palin's political demise
were "premature and reflect more the hopes and dreams of liberal analysts than
actual reality." 

The chairman of the Campaign for Working Families made the following
statement: 

"No Republican can get the GOP nomination for president or win the White House
without the Values wing of the party.  Given that reality, I have no doubt
that between now and 2012 a leader will emerge. 

"For the media, the race is clearly in full swing, especially in regards to
Sarah Palin. Reports of Sarah Palin's political death are highly exaggerated
and reflect more the biases of the prophets, soothsayers and media talking
heads than it does the political reality. Sarah Palin is a force in the GOP
and one of the most promising figures in American politics whether she is
governor of Alaska or not. It is totally premature to interpret Sarah Palin's
announcement as a withdraw from American politics. A year from now, a lot of
pundits may be eating their words."
