I presented a list of 43 pundits – Beltway insiders, etc., whom I believe will all, shortly, have egg on their faces and diminished (if not finished) careers, as all 43 predict, or thereabouts, that Sarah Palin will NOT run for president/the GOP nomination.
This received an unprecedented, for me at least, response with just under 4000 hits in one day-and they are still coming in. Given this level of interest I thought it might be of value to present the other side of the story. Here then is – with links again – 33 pundits, politicians, personalities, an overly made up clown, bloggers major and minor, authors, television personalities, media major and lesser lights, who have all stated, some obscurely and some explicitly, with 50 reasons why, that Palin WILL seek the GOP nomination.
Some have done this prognostication as fervent supporters, some as absolute haters, but all agree that Palin is going to run or thereabouts.
As with the naysayers, all have links to their forecast, so they can bask in the glow of having been right-whether for the right or wrong reasons, of course.
