The movement is over. How do I know? By reading your post, that’s how. If you had posted those words 90 days ago, you’d have been assailed by 10,000 freepers calling you a troll piece of filth. Not a peep has been hurled your way, however. The silence is deafening.

Hard to know what Palin was or is thinking.
From her perspective she is a kind of player/Kingmaker.
Also she has been able to earn an extraordinary amount of money to pay off the lawyers and buy some paradise, home in Arizona, although I would have bought and island and moved there.
Again she also may see that running may not be the best thing for her and her family.
But if she isn't going to run say it and put all the rumors to bed and get on with whatever.
We are stuck with a group of candidates that just don't ‘Speak’ to me or inspire with any kind of leadership.
Since Clinton ran 20 years ago ,along with the advent of the 24 hour news cycle, the whole art of campaigning has taken on a viciousness that takes all the fun out of it, the 15 and 30 second sound bite makes a mockery out of trying to understand complex issues and we have an electorate that has become jaded and somewhat disengaged.
