If this is true...then she is in...why keep up the guessing if you are not running..

Why keep the adoring Fan Club and the news media guessing?

Because that is where the money is:

After praising Palin, Coulter goes on to say that she does not think that Palin will run for president. Hannity counters by saying that Coulter is "unnecessarily narrowing the field" and that Palin has publicly said she is still considering a run. It is at this point that Coulter reveals, "I think she's saying that because she also said Newt Gingrich told her you can get higher speaking fees if you pretend you are running for President."

There is your answer:

" .... you can get higher speaking fees if you pretend you are running for President."

Pretending to run for the Presidency "enhances your brand":

Trump's mission in life is to "Enhance the Trump Brand". That is a fact and running for President therefore makes all the sense in the world. ...... 5 posted on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 6:32:08 PM by Polybius

That translates into notoriety which translates into big, fat Reality TV show contracts.

In this thread's article, Bristol says, "You know, she definitely knows. We've talked about it before. Some things just need to stay in the family."

"Some things just need to stay in the family"?

Bristol tells the entire World, (including her son that will read it in the future when he is 15 years old) about pre-marital sex on drunken, coed camping trips with the father of her son (who is very publicly trashed in the same book) but .....

"Some things just need to stay in the family"?

Huh?

Why write a Waaaay Too Much Information book that will humiliate her son in the future?

If some things "just need to stay in the family", shouldn't that be right at the top of the list?

The "tell-all" book was written because there was money to be made.

"No. No. Bristol was trying to teach!"

Teach what? That drunken, teen-aged, coed camping trips lead to .... (you'll never guess this one) .... sex? And that unprotected, teenaged sex leads to .... (you'll never guess this one either) .... pregnancy?

Why would a political decision be more sacred than the most intimate details of the personal lives of Tripp Johnston's parents?

Because saying that Sarah Palin's adoring fans are being strung along in order to maximize profits will hurt the money-making potential of the Palin family. That definitely needs to "stay in the family".

Sarah Palin knows perfectly well that a serious Presidential campaign can leave you in a financial hole.

For (Hillary) Clinton, Millions in Debt and Few Options

Sarah Palin has found her niche as a very successful and very highly paid celebrity entertainer. She likes that niche .... a lot.

"I'd rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office," the former vice presidential candidate declares in the just-released trailer for her TLC reality show

If Sarah Palin runs, she will stick her toe in the water just enough to enhance her registered trademark Sarah Palin™ brand just like Donald Trump did to further his often stated efforts to continuously "enhance the Trump brand".

Once the financial purpose has been served, Sarah Palin will bail out to, once again, concentrate on $100,000 speaking fees and Reality TV show deals for herself and for Bristol.

Actually governing in the "stuffy old political office" that has the highest heat of any political kitchen?

Forget about it. That's not where the easy money is.

The easy money is in Reality TV shows and on $100,000 speeches. (Bristol charges between $15,000 and $30,000 per speech.)

Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin have carved out an extremely lucrative niche in the entertainment industry. They, like other Reality TV celebrities, will pull political publicity stunts to "enhace their brand" but, from now on, the Palin family business is not fishing and it is not politics. From now on, the Palin family business will be firmly based on lucrative speaking fees, books and Reality TV shows.

Politics will be used, as Trump used politics, only to "enhance the Sarah Palim™ Brand".

April 15, 2010 ... Sarah Palin income 12 million dollars since leaving office

I predict that Sarah Palin will ultimately endorse Texas Governor Rick Perry for President.

MAY 31, 2011 .... Palin plugs Perry: "I really like him" .... Unprompted, Sarah Palin brought up Rick Perry's name yesterday as a strong presidential candidate. "I think he would be a fine candidate.... we have a lot in common. I really like him.

Sarah Palin can then keep on making her millions of dollars as an entertainer and can claim that she was a "King Maker". A serious candidate with ten and a half years of experience as the Governor of the second most populous State in the Union can then actually DEFEAT Obama in 2012.

And no, at least on the Planet Earth (the mileage on Planet Sarah Adoration obviously varies), a candidate that 65% of all voters in a recent Gallup poll have stated that they will "definitely NOT" vote for cannot defeat Obama in 2012 no matter how cute the Fan Club thinks she is.

Sarah Palin, by not mounting a serious run but coyly hinting at one sees a Win-Win situation for Sarah Palin and America: She will continue to earn millions of dollars in the entertainment field, her Brand will be enhanced and Obama will be defeated in 2012.

Sarah Palin's adoring Fan Club, by wanting her as the GOP nominee, are irrationally working for a Lose-Lose situation for Sarah Palin and America: She will end up millions of dollars in debt (like Hillary), her Brand will be trashed and Obama will be reelected by at least a 65% to 35% landslide in 2012.

Sarh Palin has no intention getting herself and America into that Lose-Lose situation. In this regard, Sarah Palin is light-years ahead of her Fan Club. Although her Fan Club may live in Planet Sarah Adoration, Sarah, herself, has her feet planted firmly on the Planet Earth where she will maximize her Brand and maximize her income rather than bankrupting herself chasing the impossible. Sarah, herself, has no illusion that she can be elected President and is playing her cards accordingly and extremely well.

Governor Sarah Palin's Endorsement of Governor Rick Perry

"That's why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election. He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!" ...... Sarah Palin, January 17, 2009

Bristol was crucified in the media - and how manipulative of you to say her son will read her book - and ignore the 2.5 years of trashing her he will read, also. And how his father was used like a lib pawn and how he spoke out against his own grandmother. Good job Bristol of getting the truth out. And, you, Polybius fail in your attempt.

So all trashing to say your candidate is Perry. If your post is indicative of his voting base - he’s scratched out from a list he’s not on yet. So thanks! Did you or your loved one get your required shot yet from big gov’t Perry, yet? BTW, Perry got Sarah’s support because he asked for it like she did with any candidate who asked.

If some things "just need to stay in the family", shouldn't that be right at the top of the list?

Not when you are the national abstinence spokeswoman in America, you have to write your book, your story, for the young audience that you are delivering your abstinence and pro-life message to.
