Really?

First, Sarah Palin is one of us, not one of them.
Second, the country needs a healer – someone who can rise above the mass media's hate-fueled attacks while working to bring sanity back to government and ideological balance back to both major parties. Sarah Palin can do this: she's a deeply committed conservative who has consistently shown, and not just as governor and McCain's running mate, but throughout her personal and political life, both an ability to work with the other side and a willingness to listen to others.
Third, Palin is electable – whether she takes Scott Walker, Michele Bachmann, or Newt Gingrich along doesn't really matter. With her at the top of the ticket, the media will go berserk, and the same four million Tea Party voters who stayed home in 2012 will put her into the White House with a massive majority.

Exactly so!
Oh yeah.
Same old, same old.
Really?
Yes, at least you admit you’re a baaaad little boy.
A child, a brat!
I don’t think she’s running in 2016, but I think she intended to in 2012 until that movie came out. Between that and Romney scooping up all the money and then playing dirty with Newt... that did it.
Timing is everything. It was Palin’s decision that the last election was not the right time. It pisses me off when these complainers demand that Sarah Palin conduct her life decisions according to their schedule. Some nerve. All the while they sit on their damn butts doing absolutely nothing.
I believe she is going to run but it is HER DECISION, not mine. If she runs, she has my support, my time and the maximum contribution allowed by law.
That’s just stating her interest, NOT that she is on the verge of deciding. You all added so much. As you’re doing now.
Read the actual words for a change and don’t try to infer what she isn’t implying.
I call Deputy Leader!
She may be in the fight, but its unlikely she will be running. She would have been doing a lot of prep work if she was intending to run.
What kind of prep work? Just curious as to what you are thinking.
I can feel it coming in the air.. tonight.... hold on...
This from Conservatives4Palin website 2011 before she admitted that she wasn't running.
How many times, and ways, can I keep saying this until it finally sinks in?
SARAH PALIN IS RUNNING FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and has been doing so for, at least, the past 2 years.
This decision, by Mrs. Palin and her family, was made immediately before she resigned as Governor of Alaska. In fact, it was one of the principle reasons for her resignation.She knew, as anyone who analyzes that decision, that she could not run for the Presidency while fighting off the frivolous lawsuits of her enemies for 2 years.
She knew she needed to be free to travel the U.S. and connect with the American people. Which she has done exceptionally well.
That decision, was the start of her “campaign.”
One need only ask some basic questions to determine Mrs. Palin’s intentions.
1 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin insert herself into the 2010 election cycle? Why go out of her way to “endorse” local candidates all over the United States? And mostly TEA Party and grassroots conservative candidates?
2 – For what reason would Mrs. Palin take her entire family on a “bus tour” of historic sites around the United States? The key here is the BUS. If she wanted to tour these sites, she could easily do it in her family vehicle. Why stir up all the attendant media coverage?
3 – For what possible reason would Mrs. Palin need a movie about her political career? Remember, she had her staff approach Mr. Bannon about making some “short” segments. It was Mr. Bannon who made the decision to make a 2-hour movie, using his own money. Why didn’t she just say no?
4 – Why is she supporting this movie with appearances all over the United States? What is the point of traveling all over the U.S., generating press coverage everywhere, and shaking hands and speaking with people, voters, in every locale?
5 – Why are there O4P organizations in over 30 states, especially in all of the early primary states? Why didn’t Mrs. Palin just tell these people to stop? Is she that callous, that she would allow these people to waste their time and energy in this manner?
6 – Why does Mrs. Palin, a native and proud Alaskan, with a television series to prove it, need a home in Scottsdale, Arizona? Wouldn’t this be a complete jolt to her entire family? Where is Todd Palin going to find work on an oil rig, or pipeline, in Arizona?
Why don’t you all just accept that Mrs. Palin is running for the Republican nomination for President, and act accordingly?
Six Clues Palin Is Running For President (June 30 2011 - onservatives4Palin)
Fundraising. War rooms. Networks. Meetings
In every national campaign, there are at least six months of pre-campaign work behind it. Aside from printing campaign materials, there are donor meetings, flyovers, getting your positions out to the media, etc.
There is a lot of work that goes into a campaign before that campaign even begins. The fact that, to nobody’s knowledge, there is no indication that she has done any of that would indicate she probably isn’t running.
That does she won’t be involved. She is valuable as a voice and an endorsement.
Jonty30,
When I did volunteer work for Ben Sasse 2014 and McCain 2008 I’ve spoken to those who are in the campaign business about this (in a general sense). These were rather insightful conversations.
According to the organizers past experiences, a full staff can be brought on in a matter of a few weeks to a month tops. Palin has the potential to raise money and create buzz withing the base so finding talent/volunteers won’t be an issue.
As to local infrastructure (state/county) that exists today in a variety of political groups but it’s a matter of reaching out and “touching base” with them. This is what’s known as “meet and great” and the “rubber chicken circuit”. To get an idea, see what a candidate’s itinerary is and what groups he/she is making connections with.
Time will tell.
Sarah Palin has continued to be engaged in the political dialog unlike any other figure on the national scene. She is what I call the female Will Rogers of our times.
That’s always the best indicator.
