RE :”So you agree she decided not to run in 2012, for reasons she never shared with you and me? Good, now we’re getting somewhere. I also didn’t run. Did I “tease” you, too?”

Here's a list I found by one of your club from 2011:

Clues she is running:
1. Helping to elect Tea Party candidates and conservatives in 2010. Major political coinage

2. Madison, Wisconson speech....”Mr. President, GAME ON!!!”

3. Sarahpac website getting an upgrade

4. O4P in 30 states (and growing...especially in early primary states)

5. Bus tour

6. “The Undefeated”....started out with the Palins asking filmaker Bannan (”Gemeration Zero”, “Fire from the Heartland”) for a few video shorts and he counter-offerd with a two hour documentary (under his control and money....he is a capitalist after all). The movie will be shown in the early primary states, AMC theaters, PPV, downloads and DVDs. Coincidence?? Hmmmmm. Political operatives have called “The Undefeated” a “game changer”.

7. Neary 3.2 million FB fans (and growing)

8. Highest “intensity rating” amongst the GOP field

9. Most loyal fan base and voting base within the GOP

10. Palin could of told the O4P people to stop, BUT SHE HASN’T !!! In fact, she has been subtlely encouraging them (Pella impromptu speech). Only a sadist or ego maniac would string people along for a POTUS ride only to bail in the last minute. Is Sarah pulled that kind stunt, then she’s finished...every snipe calling her a glory-hound or publicity-money-grubber would be true.

11. At the drop of a hat, she can snap her fingers and the cash would flow. Volunteers would pop out of the woodwork.

12. If she wasn’t running the MSM, DNC and DC elites would ignore her and write her off as just another “cheerleader” like Huckabee, Buchanon or Ferraro. She would fade into the night as a trivial pursuit question.

13. She’s been hiring a staff in the subject areas of foreign policy, economics, public relations, and campaign strategy. “Cheerleaders” DON’T DO THAT.

If the MSM actually did it’s homework, they would spot the CLUES that she’s in it for 2012. Palin did say this if she did run, it would be “unconventional”.

Okay, well it's three years later, she's still the NUMBER ONE endorsement you can garner in the Republican Party (primary or general election). They still write HUNDREDS of articles about her on a daily basis. More than the sitting vice president, the first lady, the House minority leader and the top potential Dem contender, combined! She has a television show, a spot on Fox News, a streaming paid show, three NYT bestsellers, is paid six figures for a half hour talk and is one of the top five most recognized female politicians in the world. Tell me more about how her "teasing" us in 2011 hurt her.

This is just my opinion.

I think she was gearing up for a run in 2012 - she was making all the moves and then suddenly something changed and I could see it on her face in interviews. She went from energetic and optimistic to resignation, sort of depressed. I suspected that someone or a group said something to her to convince her not to run. It would have to be a threat of pretty severe consequence because for the most part she seems fairly fearless.

But think about it - her entire family was completely slandered - even the youngest child - her parents were audited - they moved someone in next door to spy on her, major news media asked their readers to help them try to find a hint of scandal in her governor emails...and on and on. I don’t know of anyone who has gone through such an uncalled for public lynching. if it had been me I’d have disappeared into Alaska never to be heard from again in the lower 48.

I hate them for what they did to her and I think the GOPe was almost as bad as the rats.
