I love how the writer uses the term “Palin compound” like she’s Osama Bin Laden or something. I mean, compond is only used with terrorists or the Kennedys after the rape case back in the 90s.
Not positive though to see his father say he doesn’t think she’ll run. When you hear similar things from Franklin Graham and Greta Van Susteren it adds up.
That was all before Huckabee stood down, though. Things are a bit easier without him in the race. I think she’s reluctant and she’d rather have someone one she could support. But I still think she has the drive and ambition. I think she’ll wait until the summer and if no one has really taken off and things still look open, I could see her getting in.
I’ve always found Todd interesting. I don’t want to use the term whipped but he always seems rather differential and subdued around her. Maybe it’s just that quiet strength, stoicism. They seem such opposites personality-wise.
His father DIDN’T say that. The “journalist” “assumed” it.
From the supposed unbiased journalist: “But I got the distinct impression he believes she won’t.”
And to even insinuate that Todd Palin MIGHT be “whipped” is ridiculous and misogynistic. How many wives go “reluctantly” into the White House? Including Laura Bush.
Is it so hard to imagine that a strong man who obviously loves his wife is no less a man?
I can’t help but think Sarah would be giving the opposite impression of what she is actually planning. She is not one to tip her hand.
Plus, my thoughts that are she probably would not trust someone with info who would take a reporter on a tour of my home/property without my knowledge! Especially due to the history of the press in her life.
