Palin says that she might be more influential as an independent person rather than an office holder.

She’s hasn’t had much to say lately. Is that the way someone would behave who seeks to be influential as an independent political figure?

Here’s another thought. Since her debut with McCain she’s slugged it out with formidable opposition, overcome it, and acquired millions of admirers that want her to run and will abandon her if she doesn’t. She’s worked hard to achieve this respect and influence. She’s done what very few politicians throughout our history have been able to do. Is she going allow this great accomplishment to serve no purpoase other than her celebrity?

She’s a rare individual. She’s a born leader. That’s her history. What’s she going to do now? Turn herself into another type of person? Lose the stature and the following she’s worked so hard to build? Abandon the playing field that she loves and has been so successful on and move to the sidelines as an analyst or commentator?

Has the fire in her belly turned out to be indigestion, or gone out?

Here’s another sign of leadership assuming she’s going to run. No one on her team has breathed a word about what’s going to happen. How does she maintain that level of discipline? Compare that the to McCain campaign.

The truth of her recent words is being borne out, namely, that “the field is not set”. Most of the announced candidates were at one point riding high, and then knocked back as their ideas and past actions were exposed to criticism. What would Sarah Palin have gained by announcing earlier?

Is she going to let the frustration among some of her followers build and then give them a final smack by moving to the sidelines. Doesn’t sound like Sarah Palin to me.

If that is what she does, then the Sarah Palin myth will be fully exposed, and she will show that she is not the person everyone has built her up to be.

The political landscape is changing quickly as to the primaries. That alone forces a decision one way or another.
Also the Economic Landscape is changing by the hour.
We are witnessing an economic meltdown in the markets, Greece will default and those ripples will hit this country in the form of more negative exposure for our already insolvent Money Center banks.
Our corrupt politicians in D.C. have done nothing or said nothing.
So clearly if Palin is waiting for a Sign from Above this is the moment.
We may be looking at absolute chaos between now and the election.
So if she wants a piece of this then jump in and tell what you would do. What new and daring ideas are there that will bring some hope and common sense to the table other than the usual BS?????????????
