“What if Palin is not running, only running interference?”

Having watched Palin closely for the last three years, I do not believe she has it in her character to lead her supporters to believe she will run, only to pull the rug out from under them. There is no one who can take her place and she knows this. Moreover, if she lets us down, she lets her country and the military she loves, down. I do not believe it is in her DNA to do this.

Believe what you like, but she never led anyone to believe she's running. She's said from the beginning that she's 50/50 on this decision, so if you're heartbroken about her NOT running then two things: One, you did that Sarah Palin did not and Two, I don't believe you're seeing the world as it is. Sarah is not the right person to be President although she IS one heck of a good inspiration for whomever becomes the right candidate.

But again, I'm just offering a possible alternative reality here... she says 50/50, so what's her plan for that other 50% chance? I'm quite certain Sarah Palin has a strategic plan whether she decides to run or not run.

A "not run" reality surely involves Sarah endorsing and campaigning for the right candidate.

And that sir, is the money quote.

I second that.
