I don’t think she will run.
But if her strategy was to wait, enter the race late and “save the day”...
I think her strategy backfired, big time. Especially with Perry entering the race.
If Perry hadn't entered, everyone would still be clamoring for someone else and Palin could of rode in and saved the day.
But that trains done left the station. If she entered now she'd start at 3 at best, and more likely 4 or lower in the polls.
The good news is that Romney doesn't have any supporters, only name recognition, so he isn't a real threat to anyone including Palin. So in the end it would be a 3 way dog fight between Perry, Palin, and Bachmann. Bachmann in my opinion would lose that split easily, which would leave it a 2 way race between Perry and Palin. Either of which would make great presidents.
But having said all that, I just don't see her jumping in at this point, unless Perry implodes some how.
ORKIN, WE NEED YOU!
Where are the optimist today? I don't look at it the way you do. Go back to last year at this time when it looked like the field was going to be the same names as 2008 minus Fred Thompson and McCain.
Huntsman, Huckabee, Romney, Rudy, Paul were the names popping up. It looked pretty dismal. Nothing but RINOs and those unelectable. Move forward one year and we could have a debate stage field with people like: Cain, Palin, Bachmann, and Perry, and maybe one or two more good names added soon. That would be a dream come true if you were to ask us a year ago. There is plenty of room for Palin.
“I think her strategy backfired, big time. Especially with Perry entering the race.”
LMAO
Funny - she is grounded in reallity and has no complex that would make her think of herself as riding to the rescue. Whatever she decides, it will be well-thought out and rational.
