Ah, remember Palin inferred that she believed Perry wasn’t going to run and was surprised when he announced?
I think Palin is using their own trap against them. And Crow will be eating, well, himself.
Ooo. Disinformation 101. Crow has Perry loyalty, but sets up an event for Sarah. It’s a trap. Sarah figures out the potential for setup, and feeds Crow bad information, which he then dutifully disseminates, exposing his true loyalty. Then there’s the hint of a Rovian element. All this increases the pressure for her to announce, in order to relieve the pressure of intense expectation, yet another attempt to pull her off side, make her act prematurely.
Yes, it’s all surmise, but rather fun. Spy vs Spy. And a good way to audition for President, too.
