Aruanan beat me to the punch, even though I'd say it differently.
I like Palin, alot, but have mixed feelings on a Palin candidacy. Meanwhile, it's a long way to the GOP convention, and further still to the general election. From my point of view, the entities doing the "jerking around" are the media and commentators. That includes commentators from the peanut gallery, like me ;-)
You are right. It isn’t Sarah thats jerking you around.
