i think we see things the same way but I’m leaning towards your last point. I think this is foxnews playing hardball. And giving her the option to quit to get her message out.

jury duty is not a 24/7 event. From my understanding jury duty in AK is for 30 days and that is you have to call in everyday or every week to see if they need you. unless you are picked to by ona jury the rest of your time is your own. this would prevent say going on a week long bus tour but not giving a 15 min interview.

She wants people to start second guessing what her motives are?

She is taunting the media to start making up more stuff about her?

It’s summer in Alaska and she’s busy enjoying it. She’s still on jury duty. She’s minding her own business.

yeap. pretty much the question and only because the last month has been a break of normal SOP IRT to Palin’s fox appearances.

I would guess she’s doing a lot of talking with God.

This is hilarious. No one here knows what she is up to leaving everyone to speculate among the many possibilities. Just think how this is driving the Leftists in the MSM nuts! LOL!

agreed. They couldn’t muzzle her. but they can deny her a platform to reach their viewers. viewers that are made up of a majority of gop voters.

I think the absence works for both of them or Palin would have done something about it or fox newes would have. But it only works for both if Palin is running correct?

A. I think you are a reporter/supporter/staff

B. She is running

C. Her contract had contingencies built in

yeah. the possibilites are fun to guess about. I just found it odd that she had such a long absence from Fox news.

I wanna play, I wanna play... (Just kidding)

It is quite possible that she has made a decision and that decision is to run. She has informed Fox of her decision and the date she plans on announcing.

The moment Mr. Murdock has knowledge of her decision he has a responsibility to his business to suspend her appearances lest he get involved in all sorts of "equal time" arguments with the other candidates.

the taunting part isn’t something I was thinking about but it does fit to her past actions....

That may be their motivation, but I think Palin can easily use it to her advantage.

Being out of the public eye before beginning the rush of a campaign is good for her, helping to temper overexposure, and I don’t think she gains by contributing any more general punditry on Fox. A break from that role may be good as well.

C. could be.

B. I also think she is running and Fox news knows this and their actions are giving the lie to their statements by their onair pundits that she isn’t running.

A. not a reporter nor on her staff. I am a supporter of gov Palin’s as my past posting history shows.

I would both hope and suspect that rather than spending these weeks out on a boat, she’s studying up for a presidential run while also getting her campaign ducks in a row.

Todd’s got Track and his new wife and probably anyone else he wants to lasso for help on the boat. The better thing might be to let Track run the fishing this year, with Todd just along to help as the experienced elder and the one with the license.

agreed but that would be news would it not? And it would destory all the “she is not running” meme’s going on on fox news. And if ailes or Murdoch was aware of that would they conitnue to allow thier pundits to declare she wasn’t running?

They already gave the Beck spot to some new, stupid, ‘balanced’ panel show.

yeap like I said I think it works for both and that is why neither is rocking the boat about it. But the absence itself I think says a lot about her running. sometimes ommission tells as much as an open declaration.

Didn’t she have to do jury duty and stopped her bus tour? One way to get her out of the public eye, eh?
