I won't flame you, but I will point out that if Palin has made the decision to run for President and is delaying for tactical reasons, "hurting other people in the race" is probably one of her goals, don't you think? If she get's in, it will be to win. You can't win unless you take out your competition or create conditions where they take themselves out.
Your point is well taken and it is not something I really gave any thought to, so it is a good point. However, if she isn’t getting in......
I am ready to do what I can to aid her in becomeing the next president of the US, everything but wait, I don’ wait very well....lol
