I agree it’s pretty unusual. I think we will just have to wait and see. I don’t think it will help if she has pres. ambitions.
Her petty detractors have been trying to get her in a recursive legal pickle, first by alleging improprieties, then by alleging the impropriety of fund raising while governor to defend herself from these allegations. And if she pushes said fund raising another step, so will said petty detractors, ad infinitum. Whatever the absolute legal truth of these attempts (and I wholeheartedly believe they are baloney) they constitute a powerful source of dirt for her detractors. Now she can shake that off.
She will do well to remind what’s left of the GOP of its meaning and roots. That “we are from the government and we are here to help” is the stuff of nightmares, not utopias. Whether she makes a personal bid or not will ultimately depend on circumstances.
My thoughts exactly, the only thing I can think of is she has a couple of skeletons in the closet she wants to get rid of. Perhaps she has decided to run under a different political party. Maybe start her own, since the Republicans really don’t want her involved in anything they’re dealing in.
