No. The original poster complained that the reporters keep asking Palin if she’s running and then made the analogy that an engaged couple might not want to say when they are getting married. My post was simply to show that if she’s going to hang around Iowa or other places where already-announced candidates are, of course she will be asked whether she is running. In other words, as to your question, (”Would you prefer that she hide far away while she tests the waters?”), my answer would be no but that her supporters shouldn’t expect that she won’t be asked whether she’s running. Further, I’m sure she expects that question.
