Of course, I have no crystal ball to tell me if Sarah is going to run or not, but I do have my theories.

If she's planning it, she is playing it smart. She's standing in the wings watching the prospects fall like birds in a windmill farm.

She's listening to what they say, and how it resonates with both the people, and the media.

She sees the reaction everytime someone claiming to be a conservative says something "profound" and sheepish Americans start wanting that one-hit wonder to be president all of a sudden.

Why shouldn't she wait as long as possible? Wait until the others have spent loads of money, exposed all of their skeletons, and stepped on their own tongues?

She can then announce, come riding in fresh, and say all the right things while staying away from the words that are knocking out her opponents.

While the rest of the field will be hung up in repetitive rhetoric and will have let enough cats out of the bag to provide fodder for the press, she will ride into town on a fresh horse, with new things to say, and the enthusiam of someone who is not travel worn.

There's not much remaining that the left and the MSM hasn't already hurled at her, and she's got about two years experience handling the barbs, slings, and arrows. She won't be "couric'd" this time around.

Watching her on interviews and speeches, she seems to know as much about the Consitition, foreign policy, and such as any of the other candidates, and she is far ahead of all of them on ENERGY...which is a very, big deal to Americans.

I believe she will be an up-front, honest, and hard working president and will have no fear of her enemies, foreign or domestic.

I don't know that if there is anything to it, but if that is her plan, it's pretty smart.

She will need money - lots of money. If she waits too long, how much money will be left for her? She needs to announce sooner rather than later.

“I don’t know that if there is anything to it, but if that is her plan, it’s pretty smart.”

You’re pretty smart yourself!

I think you hit it pretty much on the head......

I hope so...

“She’s standing in the wings watching the prospects fall like birds in a windmill farm.”

I like mixed metaphors. The one you wrote is exceptional.

I'd love to see a Palin/Cain ticket.
