Posters here have been crowing ad infinitum how Palin's been "keeping the media off balance".
She's also keeping the Republican candidates off balance, donors and fund-raisers off balance, big-name endorsers, the Tea Partiers and her supporters off balance....and if anyone think this is good for our party, think again.
I've been around the political pike for a long time. Her teasing and coy behavior going on this long (with the promise of even more stringing-along) is not good......not good for the apparatus of state and local GOP party organizations (not talking about the Eastern Establishment, btw).......just the GOP grunt soldiers nationwide) and not good for the army of Republican activists and volunteers sitting around twiddling their thumbs when they could be out organizing and campaigning for their favorites.
Big-league politics is tough and unforgiving, not a silly, emotional game being played for months with no end in sight. Palin's "unconventional" non-campaign may titillate the faithful, but for professional and volunteer workers across the fruited plain, her game-playing is turning more people off than anyone knows.

We are in for the fight of our lives and the GOP better get their act together before it's too late!
They scream and yell she is a nobody with no influence or power, then spend their days whining and bemoaning she won't do what they demand.
President Zero is a loser no matter who runs. Assuming a modicum of competency and desire for victory, no way Zero wins. It won’t even be within the realm of being stolen.
Sarah is worth waiting for. Except for Cain and perhaps Santorum, the others are establishment RINO types. If she doesnt get in, I will vote for whoever the nominee is.
Posters here have been crowing ad infinitum how Palin's been "keeping the media off balance".I agree with this last part of your post, Cyber.She's also keeping the Republican candidates off balance, donors and fund-raisers off balance, big-name endorsers, the Tea Partiers and her supporters off balance....
There is a significant risk of "collateral" damage to the "good guys" in Governor Palin's current "unconventional" strategy.
I agree with her need to keep "the opposition" off balance...
...and I see her opposition as not just the MEDIA, but also the ESTABLISHMENT RINOS......but I also look forward to the end of this "guerrilla" phase of her campaign, so that her "ground forces" can re-engage.
Many of us in the O4P trenches are not (yet) as fully engaged as we would like to be.
I don't agree at all.
Our existing candidates have been performing poorly. If they were doing well, Palin's unknown status wouldn't have an effect.
At the very least, Palin's possible entry into the race should be an incentive to our current crop of candidates to do better, specifically on the issues.
Perhaps you should "think again".
