I really do believe in my heart of hearts that Palin will indeed run. Though I appreciate that she is seriously considering how this may impact her family, I do believe what she revealed this week about being the ‘distraction’ was actually quite clever. By making that statement, the establishment looks upon it as, ‘Hey! All we’ve got to do is abc, and we get her out of our way!’ But that’s not what she has said at all when it comes down to it. What she has done is expose the GOP establishment even more to get the public more active – and vocal!

I truly cannot see her backing down from a presidential bid at this point. All the indications are there and if there was ever a time when she was treated brutally along with her family, it was 2 years ago. They have proven they can weather this storm!

Remember what Palin wrote in ‘Going Rogue’: it was the people coming to her to run for offices in Alaska. That’s what needs to happen now. She’s already said she’s thinking about it & has put her concern in the public square (very Reaganesque, btw. That’s how Reagan was able to get things done: he went to the people first!). It’s time we respond – both to her and then to the GOP establishment by constantly countering them on their candidate suggestions (which can be done locally if you can stomach being a precinct committmen or chairperson), attending local Legislative District meetings & whatever planning committees exist in your city regarding upcoming GOP events. Just be there to counter them because I can guarantee an awful lot of GOP local chapters are already speaking the dribble of Rove/Bush/Gingrich/Christie.
