The fact that a lot of her fans nationwide turned in today to listen means that while it wasn't her stunt, she owns it.
She made a promise to announce on this show and these guys ran with a rumor that she was going to do it today.
Whether she was in on the rumor or not does not mean that she doesn't have an obligation to her base to quell these rumors. It only would have taken a second. But she didn't bother. Maybe she was too busy trying to decide if she is running or not to send out a two second tweet.
Look, as everybody knows, I believe that Palin will either not run or mount a "non-serious" run (no staff, no funding) like Newt has done.
Although I do think she is toying with her supporters, I do believe she really cares about them and would not deliberately hurt them.
In my opinion, she probably knew nothing about this stunt. The Joe McGinnis book just came out and her cell phone was probably ringing off the hook for comments. I believe that she just turned off her cell phone, turned off her computer, turned off her TV, turned off her radio, went camping and shut out the world for the weekend.
In my opinion, she does not even know about this stunt yet.
I’m not a fan, I’m a political supporter.
She owes me NOTHING. She was dragged through the mud, had every second of her life placed under a microscope, her family was seriously threatened, she’s had to pay for 24x7x365 security, and she was targeted for financial destruction.
Through it all, she still put herself out there to support real conservatives and constitutionalists. If anything, we owe her.
So two local jerks played a prank. The same prank they played last April. Big deal. You’re willing to change who you support for president based on some maggot-infested FM type? Seriously?
November 2012
Reporter: Mr. Marlowe, who did you vote for and why?
Marlowe: I voted for Barack Obama because even though he was taking America to Hell in a hand-basket on a bullet-train, I was ticked off that some jerk morning shock-jocks played me for a sap 14 months ago.
Yeah...that’s a great basis for deciding the future of America.
