You don’t think she is shooting for the top slot?

I don’t know but her refusal to take on Romney opens up the possibility she’s keeping her options open in case (likely) she doesn’t get the nomination. After all, Romney is going to have to balance his ticket somehow and a conservative woman covers two bases.

She’s trying to cover both possibilities. Let’s face it. She’s a congresscritter. They don’t get nominated very often and they win even less often. She’s not stupid so she’s banking on VP. She also knows that if Palin runs, Palin will not pick a female VP.

It's seeming more and more that she is in league with the Romney camp and the GOP "moderate" wing to divide conservative votes for Mitt to walk in.

I would never have said that a week ago, I'm not entirely convinced this is so, but her non answer on a deep negative of a supposed opponent is telling and another sign that this theory is true.

She doesn’t have enough money or star power to beat Romney, esp. with other good conservatives in the race. If Sarah doesn’t enter, we will be stuck with two pukes, period. Bob

Romney is by all accounts, the front runner.
AND probably the MOST liberal of ANY GOP candidate.

if she was truly going for the top slot,
(and, as truly conservative as we believed)
he would be her PRIME A#1 target !

...and, if, if she was simply obeying Reagan’s 11th
(even if it allows Romney to win),
they why did she hire someone who showed no hesitation
in attacking Palin, repeatedly, both before AND after,
without comment by Bachmann.
...she can’t have it both ways.

if she is truly what she says she is, then she needs to WIPE THE FLOOR with Romney. THEN, i’d support her.

and bgill is very correct here. does this sound like the straight talking hard-nosed conservative we NEED ???:

“Doesn’t surprise me a bit. She tends to avoid questions and doesn’t give straight answers to unexpected questions. She also will sidestep the topic to relate it to a talking point.”

not to mention, even the libs, like at the Brookings Institute, are praising her like sliced bread.
WHY???
on paper, she is one of the MOST conservative.
so, WHY are liberals praising her so much ?

...again, if she fires Rollins, OR, comes out swinging after Romney’s rhino hide, then i’ll believe it.
she needs to explain WHY libs would suddenly praise her so highly...

She is not qualified for the top slot, and nobody knows that better than she does.
