I agree with this entirely.
I would add, however, that there are plenty here at FR who are going to have some explaining to do if she doesn’t.
One group is going to be very, very, very wrong. And the fascinating things is that both camps are completely 100% utterly convinced that they know the truth of the matter.
One of them will be wrong.
As for me...I tend to think as of today, that she won’t run. Last week, when it was reported that she was meeting with Iowa leaders while in the state for the premier, I thought for sure that she was. However, about Wednesday or Thursday she shot that down, and all those that she would have contacted said that they had not heard from her and didn’t know anyone who had heard from her. Then there was that weird story about that grassroots organizer who has been working for nine months in Iowa organizing for her, but as it turns out, he is completely independent of her and has never even met her. This is a very strange phenomenon and if she were to run, she will have a huge amount of grassroots intensity behind her, spontaneously.
But at some point, she also has to explicitly seek the office.
And...at this moment, I don’t see current evidence of that. Maybe this week will bring different news on that front. Personally, I hope so. She needs to run.
To be honest, a lot of these folks think that their is only one way or one kind of way to be exact, to run for the Presidency and anything else outside of their sphere is foreign and wrong, plus they like leaks from campaigns to understand what the campaign is doing and to get their seal of approval. When Team Sarah doesn’t whisper to them the 411 they feel slighted and insulted
Add Dana Perino.
The title says it all......IF/WHEN.....you are being played.
Majority of the pundits opinions or predictions are wrong on both sides of the aisle, the only predictions that are correct are those that a source close to the situation tells them what is about to happen days or weeks ahead. So they are more like a TMZ reporter who has sources and talks like they are in the know
The Trademark will not run.
Yepper, the race for the nomination is already settles....NOT
IF SHE RUNS ???? LOL, That's real confidence.
But will she even attend them, or will she concede that stage to Bachmann, the candidate who's run hurts Palin the most? She's passed on the chance to 'buy' a lot there, which I think means she's passed on a chance to give an official speech as part of the program there. And the deadline to sign up for participation at all is fast approaching. Since she didn't announce today, the next theory of when she might come in is when the deadline expires for filing more junk suits against her as Governor of Alaska. That, IIRC, falls in late July, later, again IIRC, than the deadline for attending the Iowa Straw poll. And that timing makes her seem weak. Coming in later, as did Fred Thompson, carries other problems as Fred's many then fans here will recall. Fred never did find the fire in his belly, or at least never got over being accused of that. True or not, Palin would be accused of the same and would waste time overcoming that.
No,Rush is not always right...98.8 percent right is not “always right.”
Now Mark Levin IS always right—just ask him;)
Is that old wind bag is still on the air?
Funny George Will looks like he needs it, Boortz sounds like he needs it...

Leaving South Carolina (first primary in the conservative South--Florida being neither conservative nor "Southern") to decide the nominee—and SC is Sarah Palin’s if she wants it. Both Jim DeMint and Nikki Haley would be in her corner.
IMHO...
I try to remember it’s about America being in a bind and getting out of it, not any particular candidate.
There is no guarantee that a Repub will beat the big fat zero, even though it seems very likely that any reasonably conservative, non-RINO candidate would.
I’ve given up watching candidates like I’m reading the hollywood gossip rags; who’s saying this, who’s doing that.
This way, I can be always positive about every conservative with anyone I talk to.
The House and Senate are more important that the President, since a libby Congress can tie up a President rather thoroughly. And then conservatives will simply have egg on their face for the “conservative President that didn’t get anything done”.
I would not wish that on ANY conservative President - and certainly not on America.
Interesting. I hope Mrs. Palin runs, since she has the potential to decrease the corruption in Federal politics: a ton of potential.
It’s a picture. If he was suspended the top stuff wouldn’t be there. Several FReepers have pulled that and several more have fallen for it.
