I am on record here, fwiw, that she will endorse Perry. We shall see about that, I know.

I predict that too.

However, I also predict that Palin will play her teasing game as long as she possibly can get away with it, maybe to the point of actually declaring and running a phony campaign, without any paid staff (as Newt Gingrich is doing right now) in order to squeeze every last possible dollar out of her celebrity status.

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."

The eventual endorsement will take quite a while.

Palin is currently playing this very lucrative game with FOX News and there is still plenty of money to be made with the Teasing Game:

Due to the "Equal Time" provision of Section 315 of the Communication Act, TV networks cancel the contracts of employees that are serious Presidential candidates. Yet, Palin and FOX News continue a very cozy relationship that is very lucrative for both of them:

1.) Sarah Palin spends a week here and a week there pretending to, maybe, run for President. Such a fake "teaser" campaign does not trigger Section 315.

2.) FOX News hypes each of her fake "teaser" campaigns.

3.) At the end of each fake campaign, Palin's loyal supporters and the curious Palin non-supporters then drive the FOX ratings as Palin appears in an "exclusive FOX interview of Sarah Palin" where one FOX employee (Palin) is being paid to be interviewed by another FOX employee that is paid to toss Palin cream puff questions.

4.) Palin cashes her paychecks and FOX News gets their ratings bonanza.

5.) Rinse and repeat, again and again and again for as long as the game keeps generating money for FOX and for Palin.

The longer Sarah Palin keeps playing the Teasing Game, the more money the Sarah Palin™ Brand brings in. Therefore, Sarah Palin will play the Teasing Game as long as she can possibly get away with it.

If that leaves her loyal followers foolishly "Waiting for Godot", ...... Well, too bad, so sad, ....... That is what needs to happen to keep the money rolling in.

Whatever Palin does, I predict that the end result will be a maximization of the Sarah Palin™ Brand income.

If you want to accurately predict what Palin will do, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Whatever maximizes the money, that is what Palin will do.

Sarah Palin — Fred Thompson in a skirt — just better looking and smarter, same tease.

“Waiting for Fred” worked out real well, didn’t it? We ended up with McCain, then Obama.

People didn’t learn their lesson, some are totally detached from reality.

Bravo for that. I'm about tired of the Sean Hannity-Palin love affair. Like them both, but enough is enough.
