There's so much smoke and flak surrounding anything Sarah does that your "wait and see" attitude seems like the only smart option.
With regard to her presidential aspirations or lack thereof, I’ve realized how futile it is for me for to speculate on anything considering 2010 has barely started and there is SO MUCH time between NOW and 2012. Other than Romney and perhaps Pawlenty and Gingrich, NOBODY else has expressed their interest in running yet because it’s still EARLY.
Between now and 2012, and if she is considering the run, it’s not like Palin is only limited to doing “typical political” things. She can do whatever she wants and still have plenty of time left to set the stage for a run.
Between now and 2012, there will be a zillion and one rumors about Palin, stupid stories made up or framed in such a way to undermine her and her family, endless shallow commentary regarding her supposed inability to lead, fickle polling done about who will be the next nominee, etc..etc...
I have to keep in mind that NOTHING matters until late 2011 when announcements will actually be MADE—and then the PRIMARIES will commence. Americans will SEE the candidates for themselves and what they have to say, as they engage in the *DEBATES.* The ONLY polls that matter are the ones held during the primaries and ultimately, the one held the first Tuesday of November 2012.
The future direction of our country is in Almighty GOD’s hands.
