If Palin mounts a serious Presidential run, she risks devastating her personal finances as failed Presidential runs can and do leave you millions of dollars in debt.

The same could be said about every candidate. But that doesn't stop you from just saying it about Palin, does it.

There is one huge difference between other candidates and Sarah Palin.

Palin has been the one candidate that, time after time, has been money-driven, for personal gain and not for political gain, since the day that she stepped down from the Governorship of Alaska.

For example:

SERIOUS Presidential candidates trip all over themselves and spend money in order to court favor with influential Iowa political activists.

By stark contrast, Sarah Palin tells Iowa political activists, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

Iowa Republicans wince at Sarah Palin's $100K speaking fee .......... representatives from other Iowa-based political advocacy groups said they would never consider shelling out money for what many politicians see as a privilege: the opportunity to speak to a room full of sure-fire caucus-goers who often serve as precinct captains and can be instrumental to a presidential candidate’s success.

Here is another example:

Sarah Palin was at the Mall of America (largest mall in the U.S.) on June 29, along with Bristol, for a book signing and the conduct was very telling.

Here were the rules laid down for the book signing:

Bristol Palin with Special Guest Sarah Palin Book Signing Wednesday, June 29, 2011 5 p.m.
Rotunda

Look at Rule Number 4.

"4. You must have a copy of “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far” in order to purchase a copy of “America by Heart” and/or “Going Rogue” signed by Sarah Palin."

In order words, if a potential Palin voter wanted to purchase a Sarah Palin book and have it signed, Sarah Palin would refuse to sign it unless that individual bought a copy of Bristol's book describing losing her virginity in a drunken coed camping trip.

That is not the behavior of a serious potential Presidential candidate that is trying to court voters.

That is the behavior of a family that is cashing in and trying to maximize profits for Bristol.

With the Palins, it is not about courting voters. It is all about, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"
