She is not running.
If she was she would have attended CPAC.
Her Name recognition ratings are on top at 95%, and the sad part is her approval rating is also at a very low 22%. This is not good in politics, even if it is still considered early.
Her biggest mistake of all, was her quitting her post as Alaska Governor. If she had kept it, she could have fought for and won her place in American history, as well as found a place in American hearts for her courage. Instead, she disappointed too many people who expected her to stand tall and be victorious. Too many people already have Palin pegged as a loser. They even hear her name, they think negative by association. Of course things can and do change, but it will take some incredible events and positive exposure to turn her negative image around into a positive.
Palin’s greatest deterrent is the fact that she holds no office or is in no position to effect policy. She will have to overcome this by launching her own P.R.campaign which is doubtful she is capable of doing, by both media or financial support.
CPAC isn’t what it used to be, Ron Paul wins there all the time. You can’t say she’s running or not running I’ll put my money on a Palin run, and Intrade (59.7% probability)currently seems to agree.
