She KNOWS that many people are knocking themselves out, preparing for the grand effort on her behalf. Many have spent considerable sums in the hopes of an imminent Palin run. Personally, at this point, if she declines to run, she could fairly be criticized for stringing people along.
I think she's decided, and she's just spending time formulating her victory strategy. She's tried it with “handlers” in ‘08, and it failed miserably. This time, Norm, she will win or lose on her own terms. Bob

I wholeheartedly agree.

If she were not running, what would be the benefit of her not announcing that fact? Especially given the number of people working their butts off for her. Therefore, my conclusion is that she is running.

Exactly right. I've repeatedly said that Sarah Palin loves and respects her fellow Americans far too much to allow them to wait and wonder whether she's going to run, while truly being undecided. She's known since the end of the 2008 campaign that millions of Americans were drafting her to run for president in 2012.

Knowing all this, she was morally compelled to make her choice well over a year ago, and I know that she did. If she'd chosen to stay out of it, she would have informed the world of that intention a long time ago, in order to free her supporters to help the best available conservative win the election.
