SP in third place and not even in the race...yet. Now that’s funny. Latest poll has her climbing up since the last CNN poll eh?

If she had accepted the CNN invitation to debate, it would have likely been a violation of her contract with Fox News, a job the governor doesn’t appear quite ready to give up — at least not just yet.”

This is an accurate statement of what we know, at this moment in time.......nothing more, nothing less....anything else is speculation. Some speculation is more rational than other, but even so....THIS is what we KNOW at this point in time.

The plan is working. Being the one on the sidelines in a crowded field keeps the spotlight on you. As each candidate folds, the camera pans to the quarterback warming up to replace him or her. Elections are in large measure about name recognition. It’s hard to find fault with her strategy, and anyone who still doubts that she is running should readjust their medication immediately.

Don't tell that to the doubters. They might spontaneously combust if they grasp the simple logic of it.
