Kristol: A Contrarian Take (Palin 2012)
Saturday, July 04, 2009 12:26:07 AM ·
The Weekly Standard ^ | July 3, 2009 | William Kristol
If Palin wants to run in 2012, why not do exactly what she announced today? It’s an enormous gamble - but it could be a shrewd one. After all, she’s freeing herself from the duties of the governorship. Now she can do her book, give speeches, travel the country and the world, campaign for others, meet people, get more educated on the issues - and without being criticized for neglecting her duties in Alaska. I suppose she’ll take a hit for leaving the governorship early - but how much of one? She’s probably accomplished most of what she was going...
Who thinks Kristol told her to do this?

I was wondering if Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin advised her to do this.

Since her press secretary, who was vacationing in New York, didn't even know, it's tough to say who advised her. I suspect it's a decision she and Todd made. It seems too personal to be advisers. But, who knows?

Didn't you just want to grab Piper and hug to to pieces? What a precious creature.
