If the MSM actually did it’s homework, they would spot the CLUES that she’s in it for 2012. Palin did say this if she did run, it would be “unconventional”.
1. Helping to elect Tea Party candidates and conservatives in 2010. Major political coinage
2. Madison, Wisconson speech....”Mr. President, GAME ON!!!”
3. Sarahpac website getting an upgrade
4. O4P in 30 states (and growing...especially in early primary states)
5. Bus tour
6. “The Undefeated”....started out with the Palins asking filmaker Bannan (”Gemeration Zero”, “Fire from the Heartland”) for a few video shorts and he counter-offerd with a two hour documentary (under his control and money....he is a capitalist after all). The movie will be shown in the early primary states, AMC theaters, PPV, downloads and DVDs. Coincidence?? Hmmmmm. Political operatives have called “The Undefeated” a “game changer”.
7. Neary 3.2 million FB fans (and growing)
8. Highest “intensity rating” amongst the GOP field
9. Most loyal fan base and voting base within the GOP
10. Palin could of told the O4P people to stop, BUT SHE HASN’T !!! In fact, she has been subtlely encouraging them (Pella impromptu speech). Only a sadist or ego maniac would string people along for a POTUS ride only to bail in the last minute. Is Sarah pulled that kind stunt, then she’s finished...every snipe calling her a glory-hound or publicity-money-grubber would be true.
11. At the drop of a hat, she can snap her fingers and the cash would flow. Volunteers would pop out of the woodwork.
12. If she wasn’t running the MSM, DNC and DC elites would ignore her and write her off as just another “cheerleader” like Huckabee, Buchanon or Ferraro. She would fade into the night as a trivial pursuit question.
13. She’s been hiring a staff in the subject areas of foreign policy, economics, public relations, and campaign strategy. “Cheerleaders” DON’T DO THAT.
She’s running... just waiting for the ‘right time’ to announce.
Cool list, thanks for posting it.
