Sarah has been admired and adored by millions of Americans since she first set foot on the national stage. That woman has had more love thrown at her than any hundred politicians put together. I think she knows full well where she stands in the hearts and minds of the people, and that the nomination is hers for the asking.
Even so, she has to do this just right, since she doesn't have the backing of the media, or the Republican establishment. She knows they're going to do everything they can to poke holes in her sails, so she's got to go directly to the people. Staying out of the race this long has worked to her advantage. She's been coy about whether or not she's running, which is smart, because she keeps herself from being unnecessarily targeted by the media, her opponents, or the ruling class establishment.
She also takes on no damage from all of the wear and tear of the early campaigning, like others are doing. She's also saving hers, and her supporters resources by not stepping in until late summer, when the rest of the field will already be showing scars, damage, staff attrition, roller coastering poll numbers, sensational press reports, gaffes on the trail, money woes, and the like.
Palin said that she'd run an unconventional campaign, and what a lot of folks fail to see, is that she's doing it right now.
She’s smart, she is seeing what is out there, whose staying in and whose dropping out..when she feels its the right moment that is when she is gonna get into this race. She sees the kind of energy that she brings when she enters a room, how excited people get when they talk to her..she is the real deal..the skys the limit if she runs..she has it in the bag and the left knows it, that is why they are so terrified of her
