The only thing that diminishes my confidence in Sarah Palin is that she says she's seriously interested in 2016. That's a big letdown. This is not anything to be seriously interested in. If you're not in it, NOW, then you're never going to get it in and that tells me she's NOT interested and won't join the campaign.
Then say hello to Jeb. Six conservatives will neutralize the conservative vote in the primaries and the “moderate” will be the nominee as happened in 2008 and 2012. The result was the Obama catastrophe.
She has my vote.
Maybe she seriously has to see if Ted Cruz goes in because your asking for a wild situation if Palin and Cruz both run along with Walker and Ben Carson and Rick Perry.
How long till she "clarifies" the "clarification" ?
I think Palin is seriously thinking about the campaign and she will join it.
But not as a candidate. She will be an advocate for the best conservative candidate.
She won’t run because she won’t subject her family to what running would entail.
Palin would make a good EPA secretary. She could phase them out.
How about Secretary of State where she could shuffle off the sorority that runs that place now.
I never thought Palin wanted to be President. However why would she say she is “seriously interested” if she isn’t? Perhaps to see if donors start knocking down her door? Don’t know. But a contest between Hillary and Palin would be quite striking and revealing. However Palin would first have to get past the Republican establishment and RINOs. She would exhaust lots of money in primaries while Hillary would raise and maintain enormous sums of money.
It's time for slash-and-burn.

With respect — that’s just nonsense.
Hillary Clinton said the exact same words recently.
A political unknown (as Palin was 6 years ago) needs to get in early, to build up name recognition. I doubt that there are any likely voters in the USA, who haven’t heard of Palin.
Timing is an important part of strategy (any strategy, for doing anything) — and Palin is a strategic player. She’ll announce her intentions (one way or another) at the most opportune time. That’s the sort of thing winners do.
