100% unadulterated bullshit, designed to make it look like she is trying to “cash in” with the payoff being that they don’t want her. It’s always “sources who say”, no names ever named.
Whether it’s bullshit or not, my point remains. Sarah Palin is a heroic figure in many ways, but like George Patton, she has a high-pitched voice, and her accent grates after a few minutes when she is projecting. For an individual speech I can deal with it, but to listen to it three hours or even one hour a day would be too much. Same reason I find it painful to listen to Curtis Sliwa.
