Coming off her week-long One Nation bus tour that was widely seen as a test-run for a presidential campaign, Sarah Palin says shes starting to see that running for president might not be the best fit for her.
Not only do I love my freedom of not having a title and being a declared candidate that is liberating I know you can make a difference as an individual, she said. Hopefully, I can inspire others to know that you dont need a title. You dont need to be in office to effect positive change.

RE :
she has guts. .....But no significant accomplishments that qualify her for consideration for the office of the President of the United States.”
MB is easily as electable as Palin, she takes on the MSM face to face and she has even a bigger advantage: she will actually run God Bless her.
BTW : I am not endorsing anyone this early as MB has yet to announce anyway, my comment above earlier said :”I hope she endorses someone LIKE Bachmann”

You dont need to be in office to effect positive change.She knows the proper use of affect/effect. How, then, is she supposed to be show her qualifications for the presidency--isn't being portrayed as a drooling idiot a media-imposed requirement to be a Republican president?

Palin, Bachmann, Santorum and Cain are my favorites.
IF Palin doesn’t run, I wonder who she would support?

RE :"
As a matter of act, the MONEY quote from that interview was that now that this first PART of her tour is over, the fire in her belly not only STILL burns, but its RAGING.'
"Fire in my Belly" is not 'I am announcing my candidacy', it could be claimed to mean anything later on.

She did not say she had fire in her belly to run, she said she had fire in her belly to see our country restored. Of course, that’s why she has no choice, even though she has yet not admitted it to herself.

Hopefully, I can inspire others to know that you dont need a title. You dont need to be in office to effect positive change. Palin points out in her above statement that she has demonstrated over the last 18 months that you can effect positive change not being a declared candidate. Hopefully, as Palin wishes, others will take note of that and be inspired by that.
As Sarah has also pointed out, she does have the "fire in the belly" to run. As Todd has pointed out, the family has been tested and is ready to go.
Looks to me like Palin will probably run, although nothing is certain until it happens.
I will also add, that Sarah has said that she will know if she is going to run within "weeks".

Sarah Palin is running. The rest is media noise.

Bachmann... Best educated? Perhaps Smartest? Arguable The only way Bachmann wins the nomination is if Sarah Palin campaigns for her. The fact is that whoever Sarah Palin campaigns for is the likely winner of the nomination. If it is Sarah Palin, then she wins.
If you held two rallies in the same city and Sarah was the speaker at one and Bachmann was the speaker at the other, Sarah's rally would be ten times bigger. That is a fact. Bachmann does not have the charisma that Sarah Palin has. In fact, none of the republicans has even a fraction of Sarah Palin's charisma.

Correct. Sarah Palin sees what is happening to the U.S. and she sees it from the perspective of an Alaskan. Alaska is more vulnerable and depends more on American success than any state in the U.S.
America is faltering under Obama. Palin knows what Obama is doing and she also knows that she, as of right now, is the only person who can run for President, get elected, and restore the country. Even though she does not want to run, even though she’d rather be like Huckabee and make her money on Fox News, writing books, living the good life, Sarah Palin is faced with no choice.
I feel kind of bad about it, but it’s just the deal. We will pray for her, the Lord will sustain her, and she will have to live in Washington DC at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for eight years. It’s not fun, but the sooner she just accepts and takes it head on, the better off she will be.

Sad, hilarious, and annoying, the foolish perceptions of “smart”.

I just hope she doesnt endorse a RINO then, that would be a disaster.

You think that will be happening soon? I have gotten so many comments claiming the opposite, that she will jump in very late ‘Who knows when?’ which will be very good for her.
You see it as the ‘have no choice’ scenario.

LOL!
