Palin Swings By National Archives As Presidential Plans Remain Mystery

Sarah Palin dropped by the U.S. National Archives in Washington, D.C., on her "One Nation" tour Monday, kicking off a bus tour that has fired up the chatter about whether she'll try to challenge President Obama in 2012.
But the 2008 vice presidential candidate demurred about any plans for a bid, even as she maintains her place atop the Republican field of potential candidates.
"This isn't a campaign bus, this is a bus to be able to express to America how much we appreciate our foundation," Palin said after heading toward the bus carrying her family to famous historical sites on their summer vacation.
Palin said she doesn't doubt that a Republican could defeat Obama in 2012.
"Any Republican candidate is very, very electable," she said. "I think Americans are ready for true change."
But as for her own plans, "We're still kind of contemplating that," Palin said.
SNIP
That may be all that is behind Palin's "One Nation" tour, though she did offer a pitch behind why African Americans should support the GOP.
"I would believe that every American is very interested in making sure the economy's getting back on the right track, that jobs are created via the private sector, having the freedom to invest and prioritize. It doesn't matter skin tone on that. We all need good jobs, we need an economy roaring," she said.
"I would hope that you are attracted to the planks and the platform that we'll be able to build, more of the prosperity and the health and the safety of this nation that has made us so exceptional," she added in answer to questions from a self-identified black Republican. "So those principles and planks of the platform. That's a good question."

Brilliant move by Sarah Palin. Her bus tour celebrates our nation's constitutional foundations and impressive history while getting putting her back in the media spotlight, helping Palin gauge her overall reception (excellent, so far) and allowing her to put forth some of her platform without formally campaigning. Oh yeah, and it drives the left nuts - which is always a plus. (See Bob Beckel's snarky comment in the full Fox News article).

She should have taken the press inside and pointed out a couple of documents they’re not familiar with.

"This isn't a campaign bus, this is a bus to be able to express to America how much we appreciate our foundation," She's showing her famous balls again. She has courage that a disingenuous statement like this will be viewed by her cultists a roguish and clever.

Presidential Plans Remain Mystery Palin's plans are no mystery. Half the country is following the MSM/Romneybot lead and concluding that she is without a doubt not running. The other half, including almost all Sarah supporters and most of FR are guessing that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, . . . Neither side thinks there is any mystery here at all.

"Sarahs sure got the MSM types fouling their diapers." That reminds me of what Glenn Beck said when he announced he would be leaving his TV program at Fox News.
He said (paraphrase) Come January, maybe December, the libtards would be shitting their pants. They will be shitting so much they will even shit more than a baby shits their diaper.

Good point about Bob Beckel.
“I’m sitting three blocks from where she is, and I feel the air coming out of this room,” Beckel said.
