She may be getting great advice, but I myself wonder if this is all intuitive for her. Who’s to say it’s not?
I don’t mean to imply some dark conspiracy. I’m just curious. She at least must have an agent making deals like her TV show (an idea that was brilliant btw).
I wouldn't discount it. And, in fact, part of political genius is to listen to the right advisers once another part, figuring out who they are, has been accomplished. But at some point the candidate has to step forward on her, or his, own account.
Palin has been practicing politics at a very high level since the election, and I do not say that as a Palin supporter, it's simply an observable fact. What, after all, is the endorsement of a private citizen in state electoral contests across the country really worth? In her case, a great deal. Why should a single Facebook posting of a private citizen cause reverberations of squealing throughout a nationwide political opposition consisting of millions of people? In her case, it does. This isn't accidental.
And I will say that the breathless speculation over whether she may be running for President strikes me as a little silly. She is running, she's doing it in front of everyone's eyes, it's an ongoing process, an established fact, so well that she's the frontrunner at the moment without even declaring. That also I don't say as a Palin supporter, it's simply an observable fact. Certainly she has flaws. To her detractors I'll happily listen when they place forward a more credible candidate. But they'd better get about it - time isn't waiting for anyone.
