Palin is doing it for money, yes but unfortunately it takes a lot of money to be President. So she is running for President or using that expectation to build a war chest so that she can have the option.
I would not mind her money-making if she would make better choices or somehow find a way to maintain her credibility.
I can understand her having to bow before McCain’s demands because he is one of the ultimate party insiders with great influence over the purse strings. Same with Steele, she has to bow before him in order to ensure she has access to political capital.
But that’s the road to RINOland. Bow before the money because without it you go nowhere.
But say the Tea Party has 10 million members capable of sending $10 for a Tea Pary endorsed candidate. That’s $100 million which is more than enough to fund a presidential campaign.
If the Tea Party could get a Reagan-type candidate with stature, credibility, vision and intelligence, then I would be more than happy with that and would gladly send not $10, not $100 but much more.
I do not trust GOP and I loath the democrat socialists.
I don't think she wants to run at all.
I don't know what the field will look like yet, nobody does, but there should be one or two viable contenders.
