Palin 17% Unannounced non-candidate (at this time)
For those who say she isn't running, it's looking more & more like you are wrong.
I think she is playing out her own strategy and timing schedule for maximum impact. Certainly not until after the movie The Undefeated is released.
This film, although she didn't commission it, is too juicy not to take advantage of. The bus tour, while not a campaign tour, was brilliant. Upstaging Romney's (the so-called “front runner”) announcement was genius. She didn't step on his toes, she (politically) smashed them, with a wink and a smile. Page one (Palin)vs page three (Romney), huge page one photo (Palin)vs small page one photo (Romney).
I loved Sarah Palin. Then I began falling out of love with her. Now, I am falling back in love with her all over again. I was for her running, I was against her running. Now, I'll be tremendously dissappointed if she doesn't run.
I think she is the Dems worst nightmare, regardless of what they say. Huntsman? “C’mon Man”. Cain? “C’mon Man”. Pawlenty, Santorum, Newt? C'MON MAN”.
Romney and Bachmann are her only formidable opponents. Bachmann (whom I also love) is just not well enough known. I think Palin beats her easily.
Romney has two millstones around his neck (well, at least two big ones), Romneycare and Mormonism. He is stuck with both of them. They will be his undoing.
A good campaign idea would be for Palin to suggest for everyone to send Romney a pair of Flip Flops. (dollar store quality). It could be fun, the media would cover this.
Run, Sarah, RUN!
Never underestimate the power of the MSM or the Leftist internet following;

I used to place Bachmann in the top field. However. since she added ex McCain staffers and that ex Huckabee RHINO to her entourage I have lost faith that she is a new hope of a true Constitutional politician. In any case for me there is still Cain, Palin, West(if he can be persuaded), and perhaps just a few others who one can be as certain as possible to be Founding Fathers supportive.
