She will quit the primary race for the same reason she quit the governorship, and then she’ll use the move to play kingmaker. That’s my prediction.

She's already been run through the left-wing meat grinder and emerged more powerful than ever. The only reason she left the Governorship of Alaska was because she couldn't use state monies to defend herself from all the scurrilous lawsuits the moonbats were filing against her. It was bankrupting her family, and stopping her from doing her job.

That won't be the case during the 2012 primary. The left would have to throw something a lot bigger than slimy lawsuits at her, to knock her out of the race.

I think a big reason why she is what she stated: that she is unbounded by office. She understands as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and others — she can have more influence outside of government.

She is great at what she has been doing — sending out tweets, rallying the faithful, being a figurehead, and being a lightning rod.

She has helped conservatives gain power by organizing around her cues. She could elevate herself to absolute kingmaker in a presidential race, but her influence would begin to wane after an extended campaign. A great muician knows to leave the audience wanting more. I think Palin wants to be a superstar, not a lowly public servant, and I think she will purposefully leave the public wanting more of her, not less.

Unless you really followed the news, people do not know this.
If you only watched alphabet news you wouldn’t know this.

I had to explain it to my aunt who hates Palin. When I said, obama did nothing in the two years of the senate .. she had no reply but went right back on how stupid palin was and how uneducated she was.

After I corrected her on that .. she went on with more left wing propaganda. Palin would be great for us. But she has been damaged greatly by the msm. They have twisted good to bad and bad to good.
