Isn’t there a third possibility? Doesn’t she earn her living as a commentator/pundit? And isn’t one of her interests to advance conservative politics in general?
She might be going to where the action is simply to *further her own interests*, even if those interests don’t involve running for POTUS this cycle. She, like everyone, is endowed by our Creator with the freedom to pursue happiness, no?

I would say no to both of those. The main game in town now is to oust obama. The survival of the Republic depends on it.
There comes a point when you have to get with that program in one way or another, ie, by backing a candidate, or by becoming a candidate. This is FAR TOO important to mess around with.
If she has chosen the commentator pundit route, that’s fine, good with her. But she has a moral obligation at this stage to be clear about that and she should not draw any attention to herself as a potential candidate. For her to know that she is not running, but to behave this way (Iowa followed by NH) would be morally inexcusable.
Like I said, I have no earthly idea what she is going to do. But if she doesn’t run, shame on her.
