Speaking for myself, I call it a tease because I don't believe she has any real intention of running for President this cycle. Oh, she's keeping her options open so she can technically say she is undecided, but there is zero evidence she is laying the ground work for a campaign (and no, Facebook posts don't count). Palin is "teasing" the non decision out for attention and media coverage. And judging by her horrendous negatives and polls showing a complete lack of enthusiasm for her as Presidential candidate from even most conservatives and Tea Party voters, her hit and run appearances to gobble up media attention at events where the focus is supposed to be on real, actual candidates simply isn't wearing well.
OK that’s a start, but she has not yet gotten to the end of her own deadline to announce whether or not she will run.
If the Yankees say they will announce on October 1st (for example) do they have until Oct. 1 to announce or can that be called teasing? No one would say it was even if Thurmon Munson rose from the grave to do an interview about it.
So why is a tease when Palin does the same exact thing?
Wearing well with who? The media and some Freepers? So? The general public could care less and won’t until about 1 week before the election.
