If Sarah is going to run, she needs to enter the race and become a true contender. There is nothing to be gained by relying on a movie and different events to change minds. Holding out will not tame the media. Each person who enters gets a bump for a week or two, and then the criticism starts.Best to get the initial bite early on rather than later.
I think if she wants to be the nominee, she needs to participate and change minds in the way that people who vote expect a person to do.
There will be no consensus that she is the nominee. It is up to her to compete as a candidate and convince as a candidate.
Hey now...Sarah Palin has a billion gazillion Facebook friends!" and she Twitters too!
