Right! This particular article said that some wanted to talk politics, but she wanted each person to talk about themselves and she listened intently. She will remember them too.

Jeri Thompson is a Team Sarah supporter, also Fred is considered a friend of Sarah....BTW her timeline in what she was doing is not strange...

1. Once she stepped down she spent several months writing her book,

2. she had the book tour up till Christmas

3. She then joined FoxNews ,the biggest cable news network to get her out message on TV as part pundit/politician

4.. Now she is going to a dozen of the many 1,000’s requests for speeches this year

5 Notice that in Nashville and Redding CA, she has a 15 to 20 minute Q and A, this IMHO is to let the audience see her speak freely in conversation.

6. She is meeting with big money people along the way of these speeches like Nashville to gauge support (NOTE* word was that she was at some private function between the time she got off the plane and the Redding CA logging speech....HMMMMM!)

And I guarantee you that these people will feel more of a personal connection with Sarah than her talking politics with them, they can see her political views out there all the time.....Her enemies said in Alaska that she is great at door to door, kitchen politics.!

Right, bigtigermike, and she’s literally driving the news media nutz, including the WH. Look at that buffoon Gibbs today, making an even bigger a## of himself by writing on his hand in the press room for all the news to see. Fool.

I’ll be convinced that she’s got her eye on 2012 and not 2016 or 2020 when we see her doing in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina what she appears to be doing in Tennessee.

Have been following this.
Sarah is focused. Not only getting the message out,
but doing the ground work.

She has a good staff and advisors in Wasington D.C.
who send her information and is briefed.

Sarah has the best opportunity to beat Obama in 2012.

Get’s lonely, ya know? LOL.

Yep. After midnight, it's like Grand Central Station with only a few lost souls wandering the place. LOL

After reading the article, I can't come to any other conclusion, except that Sarah is building a network to support a presidential run.

The book, the book signing tour, high profile speaking engagements, and signing with Fox - all can be viewed as parts of a calculated, and very well managed program to get her into the White House.

I'm all for it, and will help her get there, in any way I can.

She has been focused indeed but in a quiet way, She doesn’t have the D.C. style insiders on her team as much who love to leak info and such to the media because they want to be loved by media....

She said the other day that she now gets briefings on foreign and domestic issues and you notice a great improvement and command with the Chris Wallace, she had no real time to get massive info as much when she was Governor, writing her book and then doing her book tour, but now most of that is out of the way, she has the TIME to learn more and more and speak more and more...

What a juvenile thing to do.

When Sarah did it, she made the country laugh by turning the tables on the MSM. That was a display of real wit, and showed her willingness to fight back.

Gibbs simply told the same joke that everyone already laughed at, but in a context that comes off as petty and stupid. Totally ineffective.

He just pwned himself.

A writer with the NYT wrote about her team of professionals in his column last week. He name dropped (of course) and mentioned the daily emails she receives about world and national affairs. Greta’s husband, John Coale, was one of the names he mentioned, so I gather he is still on team Sarah as an advisor in some capacity.

Exactly.
The Back Bencher wannaBies don’t stand a chance.
Sarah is laying the ground work in her own way and
has the overwhelming support of the people.
