I agree completely.
Peter Singleton, a lawyer from California, moved to Iowa eight months ago and he says he’s been using his own money to travel the state, going to Republican Party meetings at the county level as well as Tea Party events to sign-up supporters for Palin.
“We personally believe that she’s going to run,” Singleton says.

“I just kind of notice a theme some people like to use and they like to refer to Governor Palin as a ‘celebrity’ and, by extension, people who like her are ‘fans,’” McCormick says. “She’s not a celebrity and we’re not fans. She’s a political leader and we’re supporters of her.”
In July, McCormick took a leave of absence from her job in Fort Worth, Texas, to move to Iowa and join Singleton’s Organize4Palin effort.
“I’m that passionate about my principles and I think this election is incredibly important, so that trumps any uncomfortableness I had about leaving my secure job and comfortable lifestyle in Texas.”
If at the end of the Peek-a-Boo bus tour Palin decides not to run, people like these folks (who sacrificed a great deal) aren't going to find the "brilliant strategy" very amusing.
