Ha haaaaaa!!! You go, girl! Yank them chains.

Announce that you are "looking into" "forming" an "exploratory committee" a la Jeb and Mitt.

I tend to think that Sarah will hang in around the edges and contend for a VP slot.

Palin is a little like Trump at this point.

Each floats the idea of running for president to drum up a little free publicity for whatever their next for profit venture might be.

I like Palin. But she has to either declare that she is in by March or concretely say she is out. We can’t have a months-long tease from her like we saw in 2012.

Sure she’s “seriously interested.” She’s always been “seriously interested.” But she’s more “seriously interested” in protecting her family.

She’ll never run as long as she has a family to protect. The patriotic instinct is strong. But Palin has shown us that her mother instinct is stronger. Even if she tries to ignore it for awhile.

If she jumps in, watch the spotlight shift immediately. And she gets every disposable dime that I have, and a “Palin Outpost” sign in the front yard.

Between her and Cruz it'd be interesting.

I'm not sad to part with all of the idiots who are going to come out from under their rocks to slander this brave woman.

In fact, it will be good to have clarity on just who stands with enemy.

Her stepping down as governor in an unfinished term and her reality TV rather than political [elected to something] history since 2008 will not play well.

Palin’s window of opportunity would have been best in 2012.

And, of course, she will get slaughtered again by the media and GOPe if she does enter a presidential race.

==

In 2012, many waited on the sidelines to see what she would do. She waited until late into the political season to say she would not run. By then, it was too late for another strong conservative to jump in.

Modern presidential races, even at the primary level, require a lot of money. That is why Obama entered extremely early in the 2008 cycle, forcing Hillary to enter sooner than she would have liked. Jeb Bush is doing the same currently. He is going after the ‘big’ money, so other contenders will need to get off the fence if they plan any serious challenges.

Modern races, regrettably, have become more about money. The 2016 race from both major parties is expected to cost around $2 Billion.

I would love for her to enter the race.

She would be willing to talk about anything and I seriously doubt she would let political consultants tell her how to answer questions.

But there’s tremendous pressure on her to stay on the sidelines.

We’ll see.

As I fully expect the GOP and its elite, open-borders, pro-homo, pro-Obamacare, Wall Street crony donors to successfully push someone like Jeb, Romney, Christie into the nomination, I’d certainly like to see Palin (or even Cruz) run... as a third-party independent. That’s where my support would be, 100%.

I like Sarah Palin in the same way and with the same fervor that I like Rush Limbaugh.

They are fearless, articulate, God-fearing patriots finding the "theater" in the "political".

They just have about them the wonderful smell of AMERICA!

Run, don't run - I have no opinion, because they are serving the Republic doing what they do.
