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.

She will need money, but in the last two years she has been privy to tons of publicity - both good and bad.

There is hardly anything that we don't know about her and her idology; she is devoutly conservative, has leadership experience and credentials, not afraid of the libs, and even has a record of straightening out her own party.

She has greater name recognition that most of the others in the field, and her PAC has been raising some money.

IF she should get the nomination, the money will come. If the GOP doesn't support her, then obama is back for four more, and nobody but obama wants that.

Don't count her out, she has a lot going for her, and I think the nomination is hers for the asking...if she'll just ask.

I think she’s GOT money and lots of it, and there will be much, much more for her. THAT is why I think she will go. When I used to see those screaming crowds for her in 08, I KNEW that she could transform those cheers into dollars any time she put her mind to it. And I spect she’s been quietly piling up the cash all along.

This is the phase of the campaign when the potential candidates do little but dial for dollars. The amounts they raise are not known until later, but THIS, much more than name recognition, or whether the msm likes them, is the critical time in when a candidate goes-nogoes. Huckabee? No money. Newt, apparently no money. Mitt? LDS and establishment money. Sarah? Potentially unlimited tea party money if she plays her cards right.
