All of this stuff Sarah said about “being shackled” and is a “title worth it” is about the GOP trying to muzzle her. Remember the title of that article after the 2010 election? Next stop for the GOP: Stopping Sarah Palin
This what’s going on
Once she becomes a candidate or especially the nominee - the GOP will try to flood her campaign with more” Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt” like-aides and other people that will be more willing to fighting her than go after Obama (She brought up how inside the campaign in 2008, she was being caricature to the media)
She is contemplating how she can be FREE against the COMING inside attacks from some in the GOP trying to sabotage her as she pursuing the nomination (she mentioned the Newsweek article about Ailes and Fox moderators trying to sabotage candidates in the debates and attempting to moderate the Network)
She is going to be fighting the GOP elites more than that Obama in her pursuit. (they see her as more of a threat to them than Obama)
She’s thinking “how can I speak out FREELY and unshakled and speak the truth without being bound because I have the title of Republican candidate or Republican nominee?””is having a title worth it?
Does she honestly think anything she espouses would put her beyond the pale of the entire GOP? She will rub some politicians wearing that tag the wrong way, but that very challenge is what got her into Alaskan politics (where she won). There’s no need for her to get fainthearted now.
Ah, so she adopts the Rosie Ruiz strategy. Too clever by half.
