She is still the leader of the conservative right, and will trounce all comers if she runs.

If she runs, she needs to declare her candidacy early so that the conservatives will coalesce around her and we won't have a rerun of 2012 where each conservative candidate was picked off one-by-one until the unelectable RINO was left standing.

Mitt was mushy where he didn’t need to be. It seems a sad GOP pattern. You’re about to win then you retreat.

Agree. I rarely find fault with Gov Palin, but her procrastination in the 2012 primary was a huge error. The longer she waited, the more out of control the process became, which only benefited the establishment GOP.

I honestly believe she intended to run, but the field filled up fast, and that altered the dynamics in lots of weird ways. I really believe it's one of the few times in her life that she was indecisive.

In hindsight, I'm sure she sees that those dynamics would have probably shifted in her favor, had she declared by early summer.
