I do like Palin but first step is to announce and get in the race. She can’t win if she’s not in and my feeling now is that she will not run. I don’t think she even wants to run. She seems to be happy as a player in the party and helping others get elected. I could be wrong but on a personal level I think she’s done with public office.
The one thing about Palin and Bachmann is that they both know we’ve never had a woman as president. Hillary was as close as we’ve come and she was easily knocked out by Obama who NO ONE in either party including his own camp thought he actually had a chance.
The voters just tried out the “first black president”. I would be worried they are done experimenting.
Since you know so much about political strategy, perhaps you should run.
Nobody has declared because they all know it's hers if she wants it. Since it is hers, she can bide her time.
The longer she waits, the shorter the window of opportunity for state-run media and their ape-shit attacks on her and her family.
