I predict she will go on a speaking tour, and do events for 2010 congressional candidates.

This will keep her name in the public eye, without ‘running’ for the GOP nomination. Sort of a more subtle version of Hillary’s listening tour.

I think what she will discover is that most of the GOP money comes from the left and right coast, and she will not be well funded enough to pull the trigger on a 2012 bid.

Presently, I have no idea who the GOP might field against the Messiah....but I don’t think it will be Palin.

Palin will win the GOP primaries if she runs 2012.

While the money may come from the coast elitists, the votes come from the people (Mr Steele close the primaries and stop the caucuses!!!)

If the GOP runs another RINO, they can stuff it.

We all should write in Palin then.

She doesn't need the RINO cash. In fact, she doesn't need much cash at all to run, because the media will give her LOTS of coverage. Granted, the MSM will attempt to skew coverage, but Palin's got a Reaganlike ability to speak over their heads, directly to the American people and to CONNECT. Though she won't need much cash, she'll get plenty because lots of conservatives will send something, including many who've never donated to a candidate before.

You're speaking as though the GOP establishment makes the decision. Often they do, but not always. Reagan would never have won the party's nomination if it were up to the GOP establishment. Voters picked Reagan and voters will pick Palin if she decides to run.

Here's the big concern... Palin strikes me as a rather normal person. What normal person would seek the white house? Almost by default, anyone willing to seek the office is unfit to serve.

She's gotta know what's coming if she runs. For her to go through that, she needs to feel a sense of mission and national need that's so great she'll endure the liberal and establishment Republican hate machines.

I think she'll keep her head down through the end of the year, and then start traveling, speaking, and helping conservative candidates for 2010. Based on the response she receives and her effectiveness, she'll make the call with her family about whether to seek the white house in 2012.

Of course, what do I know?
