I appreciate the thoughtful response. I disagree a bit about the money factor, however. I don’t believe Palin will ever get significant donations from the big money GOP establishment types, and I believe she’s fully aware of it.
The GOP establishment is going to do all it can to destroy her and anoint another one of their own, whether Romney or whoever. I believe her strategy is to simply take away part of their ammunition which could be used to attack her later.
Once she has demonstrated her loyalty and determination to honor her word and commitments they will have a much more difficult time attacking her, and will appear petty and dishonorable themselves if they do. It’s all about the concept of “positioning”.

Interesting thoughts.
