Have we ever seen a candidate at the front of the pack in polls who has been saying for months that she’s seriously considering a run—or any other politician, for that matter—do as you describe?
On what do you base this conclusion of motivation that has never been seen before and is directly counter to what Palin has been telling us herself?
What she’s told us is that she’s going to support the best candidates & get behind issues that matter to us. And, that’s exactly what she’s been doing. However, she hasn’t told us she’s a candidate for prez.
Palin is unorthodox...so, “never been seen before” is her stock-in-trade.
