Just a guess, but consider: Bachmann's the favorite; the media savages Bachmann: Perry's the favorite; the media savages Perry. Maybe Palin's simply giving the MSM time to make it obvious even to disengaged voters that their coverage of her will be equally corrupt.
“Bachmann’s the favorate”
Bachmann illustrates what happens when you have a spine of titanium and your main theme consists of abstractions about your toughness and conservative-ness, but after hearing that for awhile audiences lose interst.
Recently Palin told Hannity that she still has that “fire in my belly”. Does that mean she has so much fire that she’ll decide to not enter the primaries? Not in my opinion.
Perhaps the main reason she’ll run is that win or lose, she’ll have much more stature and influence than if she sits this thing out.
The only thing that could cause her fear is that she might become President, and that could be harmful to her family.
