And you think I'm deluded? There is NO "significant plurality" who think she will actually BE president. I'd be surprised if the number of people who think she will win is even as big as the number who are actively supporting her.
As to your "she cannot", SHE ALREADY HAS. You might as well claim that Rush Limbaugh can't impact things, or that Paul Ryan is ineffectual. Or that Thomas Sowell is wasting his time.
Her power and influence is based on the FACT that she knows what she is talking about, what she says makes sense, she is articulate, and there are people who love her and will work for her vision, whether she is running for President or not.
I would be interested in hearing if there are other Palin supporters who will agree with you that they ONLY care about her because they think she'll be President, and if she isn't, they will forget about her.

Only because op peoples expectations that she was headed to the White House. If not, no more 5,000 followers at every rally, no more high paid articles or Op-eds.
People follow leaders, not faders.
