I believe something has been up all along. Look at Sarah Palin’s endorsements in the last election and those she is friendly with around the country. Folks that will be working on her behalf when she runs for president.
I believe that Michelle Bachmann is not running for president but is really laying the groundwork to help Palin get the nomination.
Sarah Palin endorsed Branstad in Iowa, Bachmann has been down there building tea party minded support.
Governors Haley,SC, Walker, WI Scott, FL and Brewer AZ, among others are all of like mind and I believe working to get Palin the nomination. I’d add Gov Perry Tx to the mix as well and the new “tea party” congress.
They all know that their window of opportunity to change the direction of the country is small. They also know Sarah Palin and believe she can lead them in getting it done. Pure speculation on my part but it works, doesn’t it?
I think your speculation is right on.
Palin has repeatedly cited the 10th Amendment and state sovereignty for many issues. Those other conservative governors share that with her. They need a President who will support them in their 10th Amendment sovereignty. Palin could be that President — thus they would support her effort to become that President.
Haley is supporting Romney.
