This is Palin’s MO. she gets in engages for a week or so and then goes dark for 2 or 3 weeks. to reload, remessage and work out the wrinkles. She did the same after the madison Wi speech, now the first leg of the bus tour she did it after her Q and A session in Long island, after the Nov elections, after the Tuson blood libel after her trips to Israel and india, after SPAK etc
It is her way of keeping her name in the mix and supporters online and not being overexposed.
So she’s either running, on some wildly unconventional plan that doesn’t even keep her supporters updated; or she’s not running - in which case, why didn’t she say so long ago? or she hasn’t made up her mind yet, and is waiting to see ... what? if people really want her to run? If she will get a better offer from somewhere else? if the situation in the country really demands it?
There is no behavior that Gov. Palin can do that will make her devotees any one less whit convinced that she is the greatest political personage since Ronald Reagan. Nor is there any percentage in trying to alert them that she may not, indeed, be that.
But Reagan was nothing if not reliable. If he said he would carry out an action, he did it. If he was elected to an office, he finished it out. Reagan would never have started a bus tour with much public hullabaloo, and then taken an unannounced hiatus for a month in the middle of it. You could always count on Ronald Reagan to see his endeavors to their close.
