I think she got burned out during the last campaign; I think she enjoys her current role as a spokeswoman for conservatives, campaigning for other candidates through her PAC, she can still impact the outcome of the nomination, etc.

Fair enough. A lot of people have made similar comments about the possibility of her running, and why they don't think she will.

Here's just one reason that I'm convinced that she will run.

Sarah Palin respects the American people and our political process far too much to lead the country on for so many months. She's incredibly smart, and knew even during the 2008 election, that many Americans were already looking at her as their pick for 2012.

She's known for a long time now, that she would have to tell the country one way or another whether she's running. She would not have waited until this late date, only to announce that she's not running - knowing that it would likely make her a pariah in the eyes of millions, for the rest of her natural life.

Trust me. She's running.

I have an immense deal of respect for her, but I'm not certain she's going to pull the trigger and run, I think she might, but I'm just not sure.

If she doesn't, I'm sure (hope) we can find someone else, I just happen to believe she is the best candidate and most equipped to take on and beat Obama.

If she stays in her current position, she will still influence American politics as one of the top few commentators for many years, and whoever she endorsed would win the nomination and beat Obama.

It's a big decision, I have no idea what personal matters and thoughts she is putting into making the decision. I can speculate, but that's all it would be.

I agree. She’s running.

I’ve been telling my friends so since I saw the cover of her book. She was wearing a running suit. Funnily enough, she’s wearing running gear in the magazine cover too. She’s telling us she’s running.
