“Still a Possibility:” Sarah Palin May Enter The Race
ABC News ^ | October 4, 2011 | Shushannah Walshe and John Berman

According to a source with knowledge of the inner workings of SarahPAC, inside the Palin world it’s still a possibility that she might run. However, as the deadline approaches not even her staff knows what she will decide.

ABC News has separately learned that the Palin team is well aware of the filing deadlines and are keeping abreast of the changes in the deadline. Politico reported Tuesday that a law firm that employs an attorney representing SarahPAC had been making calls to early states inquiring about presidential filing deadlines. SarahPAC would not confirm the report to ABC News. When reached by ABC News, Mark Braden—the attorney mentioned in the Politico report—would also not comment or confirm the report or that he even works with Palin.

As the days creep toward those state filing deadlines, no new staff has been hired. Her core group of about seven staffers runs the organization while a volunteer group completely independent of SarahPAC called Organize4Palin or O4P tries to lay the groundwork in states, most notably Iowa. Those close to Palin acknowledge the decision is hers to make alone with her husband, Todd, and that she could decide the day before the first filing deadline that she wants to throw her hat in the ring....

Why does it need to be quick?

The RINO’s tried to short circuit Palin, with Christie.

It does not appear to have worked.

The only candidate now who seems to have the potential to run Palin out of time, is Cain - whom Palin likes.

What’s the rush?

Every debate answer she would have given would have been trashed by the “fact checkers” and MSM pukes. They live to hate her.

The GOP field is PATHETIC.

Palin would be doing the right thing if she took the fight to the marxists.

The current crop of "Candidates" are a joke.

It’s Palin vs Romney (Goldwater vs. Rockefeller, IOW).

Game on. Wonder if the RATs will beat Palin the same way they beat Goldwater?

I’m going to be more than a little annoyed that she didn’t feel it was necessary to participate in any of the debates.

Really?

The only debate participant who didn't come off as a ridiculous incompetent clueless moron was Gingrich.

I'd say the debates were pretty much useless.

“What’s the rush?”

Well, for starters filing deadlines, debate participation, organization, fundraising, momentum. The Iowa caucuses will likely be in mid to late December, which I think is earlier than ever before. She can probably take a couple more weeks, but I don’t think much more beyond that.

LOL. Think outside the box.

Palin should simply use the term “Fact Check” somehow, when challenging the marxist media.

Call it “fact checking”. Devalue their own politically loaded term against them publicly, while in reality ... fact checking. Telling the truth, Which we’ve all learned, the marxist media will not. But call it: “Fact checking”.

:D

That is beauty. Using the left’s techniques, against them.

Thing is, Palin knows that already. She’s been in the media before. She gets it.

She seems to have covered that concern today.

Did you have other indicators, for hurrying?

I mean. Other than being impatient? :D

What’s interesting to me, if you take the opinions of the media and the political pundits out of the equation, it looks very likely the Governor will run.

With apologies to supporters of the declared, the current field is comprised of candidates who are their own worst enemies to candidates who have no executive experience.

The door sure looks open to me.

You did not just compare Sarah Palin with Barry Goldwater?

Tell me you didn’t.

Yes, she knows how to handle Sean and Greta’s tough questions.

Superwoman Sarah, does she have enough anti-romney kryptonite?
