BINGO!

Especially is she loses the nomination as a Republican.

Plus, if she announces that she isn’t running the same thing will happen.

I hope she doesn’t run. She cannot win.

the latest Rasmussen poll shows Obama beating Mitt by 5pts. 45-40. It shows Palin getting 38%. I don't think 2% is enough of a MOE to make the statement that she can't win. Unless you say Mitt can't win either. which means the gop can't win.

Oh and where can I get that crystal ball of yours. I need to play the lotto with it....

Good point. The “might run” mystique is pretty strong in her right now. There would be consequences to its loss; and what I’m saying is that she’s got to establish her talking head / commentator / author identity with the public before that happens - else she simply becomes a has been / also ran - sort of. Other thoughts: Running outside the box worked / works pretty well for Ron Paul and Ralph Nader. I’m seriously confident that she’s not going to go the way of Ross Perot and split the party. She is a dedicated RINO after all.
