She really did set the stage for her run tonight. Whether she takes the plunge, of course, who knows?
But, as you posted, she reinforced the fall of “the smart Palin” (ie Bachmann) and finished the job by interjecting that Ron Paul was ahead of MB in some polls. Additionally, she laid out what she would “expect” from the candidates - record, not rhetoric, of job creation, deficit reduction, and combatting crony capitalism. Gee, of the field we’ll see on stage Thursday night in Orlando, who would fit that description? Basically, she was describing her own record. And, my ears perked up when she did this twice (with Hannity prompting).
I agree with others on this thread that there is a strategy there, one borne of the reality that she doesn’t have Romney bundlers pouring in huge amounts of compromised cash. Plus, by waiting, she’s seen her “main” (in media’s eyes) competition pretty much flame out, Romney get bloodied up badly by Perry, and then the reality of Perry beginning to set in. All Palin has to do is occasionally comment on Fox (and get handsomely compensated), and throw out tweets and FB postings (notice how detailed and spot on the latter have been of late).
Agree that, if she runs, her strategy will certainly rewrite the Poli Sci textbooks.
Several time said, we can’t just change the uniforms. We have to change the teams.
I disagree with that. Anybody who sees her tweets or Facebook posts are probably already going to vote for her if she were the nominee. One has to already have interest enough to click "follow" on Twitter to read her tweets or "Like" her on Facebook to see her Facebook posts. And face it, even though I consider FoxNews center, many people who watch Fox are already voting republican and probably already like Sarah Palin.
She needs to be in the debates or at the very least hitting all the networks. Not just friendly FoxNews.
