For example, Palin...These PACs are amazing things. For example, Palin can entice enormous endorsements to her PAC by hinting she might run for president. The collection of small donations is way simplified by using the internet (as demonstrated by Obama in 2008). <br /><br />Palin does not have to actually run for president or even set up a practical organization to run for president. Evidently she has wide latitude in how she can spend the PAC's money. The people who contribute to her really trust her (even though she is a politician).<br /><br />Even if Palin does not run, her PAC will be instrumental in building her personal brand.<br /><br />It is possible that she runs in 2012 but not probable. Her decision will depend on a lot of factors such as Obamas favorability ratings, the economy, Palin's favorability ratings, how much abuse Palin is willing for her family to endure, whether Palin is willing to commit to a job like the presidency that will leave her little time to focus on her kids.<br /><br />My guess is that Palin ends up not running for president in 2012. It seems that everything lines up better for her in 2016 (would not have to face an incumbent Obama and her kids would be 4 years older). <br /><br />In the meantime, that PAC money permits her to build her political contact network via speaking engagements, try to improve her popularity with the voters, to have tremendous political influence through her donations and also facilitates a sweet lifestyle for Palin's family. She will also make a lot of money in those 4 years.Steve Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077530042599697923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28053461871712810862011-05-30T09:39:57.899-05:002011-05-30T09:39:57.899-05:00Sarah Palin is demonstrating the personal innovati...Sarah Palin is demonstrating the personal innovation lifestyle!erictrimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232618429644841580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-3043016302732322832011-05-30T07:18:33.183-05:002011-05-30T07:18:33.183-05:00Impossible to add anything to a 280 comment thread...Impossible to add anything to a 280 comment thread--all: have a great memorial day.Roger J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12639676792043324100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-37342865321213804342011-05-30T07:07:32.242-05:002011-05-30T07:07:32.242-05:00"Actually I do know them and they insist that..."Actually I do know them and they insist that non-believers go to hell"<br /><br />And you don't believe in hell.

Has she ever recanted voting for Obama?</i><br /><br />He really doesn't get it. She's open enough to fall in love with and marry a man a lot more Conservative than she is. She is what the Lefties claim to be, but are in capable of being and it drives them up the wall.<br /><br />He also doesn't get the whole "Conservatives' lovable Liberal" concept. Like him, we all have to have a laundry list of litmus tests which must be met before we can like someone.<br /><br /><i>It seems like she's pulling a fast one, which is amusing.<br /><br />It also seems that substantive matters are, for you people, less important than your shared aggrievement. Why else would you be here?</i><br /><br />No fast one, Ann's always been up front about what she likes or doesn't. The "Crusty Conservative coating, creamy hippie love chick center" bit; sometimes she's a little surprising where she comes down.<br /><br />And the whole "aggrieved" thing is getting old. If anything, it's the Left that's perpetually aggrieved. PC is one long litany of some whining Lefty who's "offended" by something and will to hold his breath until he turns blue - or until some hack Lefty judge invents a new reason why whatever the "offense" was should now be treated as illegal.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91708045246722819672011-05-30T05:38:58.593-05:002011-05-30T05:38:58.593-05:00"8) She has taken the most vicious criticism ...<i>"8) She has taken the most vicious criticism of any politician in my life time...."</i><br /><br />Not by a long shot.Robert Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-10752939179126211582011-05-30T05:34:05.527-05:002011-05-30T05:34:05.527-05:00"Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat yo...<i>"Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal."</i> --J.R.
