I am not worried about her PAC accounts or suggesting there is anything wrong with her accounts at ll. What I am saying is, she needs a press secretary and other staff to keep her political organizations going, and she can either use her PAC money to hire the staff, or pay for them herself.
It's simple really. She can either be a private citizen, and stay-at-home mom looking after her family, or if she wants to be a major mover of political affairs in this country, then she has to hire the staff to do it. She certainly has the wherewithal to do it.
Look, she is the most in demand political figure in the GOP. There is no way, she is going to be able to run everything herself without the supporting political staff. You can't run an influential, national political organization as a mom and pop outfit.

And what I am saying is that maybe we all need to start thinking outside the box because I KNOW she is.

As for other staff, she has that. She contracts it out. Why does she have to have a press secretary for the next few months? She has an aggressive speaking schedule that's published, she can respond on the worst of the negative stories either on FOX or FACEBOOK and believe me....Greta, Hannity, BOR, Rush, Levin et al. can pick up the phone and talk to her anytime they want.

The MSM has shown ZERO inclination to treat her as a serious political figure so I just don't get the need for her to have to have a press secretary, at least for now. We just disagree on that.

As I said in a post above, if she declares for President, that's different.

Calm down, Joe. She was a mayor and governor, so I think she knows precisely what level of staff she needs or doesn't need.

Anyway, don't cut her short, since she obviously has back-channel contacts with people like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Fred Thompson, Fred Malek, Bill Kristol, and the staff at Conservatives for Palin, as well as any number of other key GOP players.

Like I said, her friends in the Alaska press can reach her fairly easily, so she has a strategy that she is playing close to the vest.

At any rate, if and when she wants an official press secretary, then John Ziegler is certainly available.
