The question is, why should Sarah enter the race ahead of her own schedule? If you ask me, I think she is one smart cookie to be sitting by as the current candidates destroy each other. These debates and all this early campaigning are primarily about getting recognized by the base, and there is not a possible candidate who is better known than Sarah is already. So unlike the others, Palin can sit back and watch the show while she sharpens her teeth for the battle against an inevitable attack she will receive when she does jump in.
I can’t stand it when people choose a candidate and spend all their time coming up with excuses for their behavior. If you’re serious about running for president, you’d better start fundraising now and make it clear that you’re in the race. You either are or you aren’t. If you’re neither, you’re a weak candidate to start with.
Maybe she's just seeing how many of her supporters are in it for the long haul....she's testing more than just the candidates.....
No matter how anybody, anywhere, spins what's Palin doing or not doing...she'll do when and if at her own pleasure....amazing fortitude to remain undeclared with the heat from media and those here on FR.. and even among her supposed loyal supporters at one time.
One amazing crafty, tenacious and remarkable woman to have this nations attention, and the worlds for that matter, be it for her or against her.... as soon as she even peeps out of her domain all eyes and ears want to know what she is up to next...and next...and next......
