I doubt Palin will run. I know that statement inflames some people; but, her emphasis right now seems to be on making some money to pay her bills. She has alot of time for on on political career, but would risk going into obscurity if she lost to Obama again.

Romney - I think the time is now for the RNC to change the primary rules, or we may get stuck with him....but Steele probably loves Romney.

I want Fred! But I doubt he’ll run.

Brown - are they kidding?

“I doubt Palin will run.”

Why not?

“I know that statement inflames some people;”

Why would it? Someone telling you that you are wrong is not equal to someone being “inflamed” about anything.

” but, her emphasis right now seems to be on making some money to pay her bills.”

She already made at already $8 million from her book(which has sold at least 2 million copies by now). Her legal bills were around only $500,000. Plus Fox is probably paying her at least $1 milion a year as a Fox News contributer, because of her ability to attract very high ratings.
She has by far more money today, than she has ever had in her entire life.

“She has alot of time for on on political career, but would risk going into obscurity if she lost to Obama again”

She would be in even bigger political obscurity of she waited another 7 years from now before running.

I want Fred too but alas, I’m afraid Fred doesn’t wanna play.

I’ve heard talk of a Romney-Palin ticket. That would make sense. She would already have a foot in the door in 2020 at the age of 56.

While checking on her age, I discovered her 46th birthday is coming up on February 11th.

Does she personally need a political career? Unlike Romney who planned on being President in playgroup, I doubt if the thought even crossed Sarah's mind until 17 months ago.

Now that some people have suggested, and others have suggested not, that she could do the job, she's probably thinking "Challenge Accepted!"

Bit if she doesn't get it, she goes back to that lakeside cottage, does a little hunting and fishing, and watches the royalty checks on her second book come in. (It's a hard life, but I'm sure she could be happy at it)

Pay her bills? Do to the family fishing business( couple of boats and crew ) they were, just barely, worth a million. She probably made five off her book.

Now this isn’t some salt of the earth type like McPain( 11 homes ) or Mitt ( home boy of Utah, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, California..)

For her, she’s well off. She has made the money SHE needs.

I beg to differ. They said the same thing about Nixon after he lost to Kennedy in ‘60 then lost the bid for California’s governor. He was written off but returned in ‘68 to win the presidency.
