Anyone still think Sarah Palin is running for president??
Bristol was on FauxNews a couple days of days ago, and said she had already made up her mind. If she was, she would have announced already wouldn't she??

2. No, I think she thinks she's too important.
I think she thinks she's above the Presidency. She thinks she's Karl Rove, the king maker.

Sarah Palin 'will run for White House in 2012'

Sarah Palin will run for the White House in 2012 and conduct an "unorthodox, grassroots campaign the likes of which you've never seen", the man organising her campaign in Iowa said.

By Toby Harnden, Pella, Iowa

8:28PM BST 29 Jun 2011

Peter Singleton, a California lawyer who has been assiduously courting Republicans across the state where the first contest of the 2012 election will be held, said it was “unthinkable” she would remain on the sidelines.

“She’s the right person at this time,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“If you look at Churchill’s time, in 1938 Churchill was unelectable, in 1940 he was indispensable.”

He added: “I can’t see her sitting this one out. The stakes are too high. It goes back to 1940. Can you see Churchill sitting it out? It’s unthinkable. Can you see George Washington in 1776 sitting it out? Unthinkable. He wanted to be back on his farm but they said we need you to be president of the republic.”

I heard before, and agree with, the analysis that if she doesn't at least make a nominal attempt at the presidency in 2012, she'll be come a has-been and lose the publicity and money she's currently making. And she'll want to milk that easy ride as long as possible... she's fairly young, and old age is a long way away.

I personally think that ideally, she'll make some noises in Iowa and New Hampshire, then drop out and support somebody else for a sizeable sum discretely passed to her bank account. And if "somebody else" wins, she'll get to be ambassador to the Philippines or New Zealand or something.

7. I think she will
I think Bachman has taken some of the wind from her sails, but I think she thinks that she can milk this for more.
