Clearing the Browser Tabs – Will Sarah Run Saturday Edition

According to a source who spoke under condition of anonymity to Stacy McCain, a number of people who make their living working on political campaigns expect to know within a week if Sarah Palin will run for President. Sarah didn’t exactly deny the story, though she did pour out a small amount of snark onto it. His brief report made the national news and even picked up some lengthy commentary from Rush Limbaugh.

I mention this because I may write more about a part of Stacy’s report that didn’t get much notice (though Jim Geraghty caught it). I also have some thoughts about whether Palin actually will run or not. I short, I don’t think she will and the biggest reason for that comes down to friends and the fact that, right or wrong, she has precious few people with political influence willing to publicly go to bat for her during the primaries.

There’s more to that last thought and it involves the difference between being an establishment politician and being a politician who can get along with enough people in the establishment to eventually be its leader.

There! That was a tease, wasn’t it?

And now, links!

Yeah, I’ll bet Joe Biden and his merry band of big government nanny staters “scoured” the budget.
Coincidentally, the Saudi Government announced that today was “Beat a Few Saudi Women Day” and the American left announced the “Cheer From the Relative Safety of Twitter” Day.
Liberal media? Why I have no idea what you’re talking about!
Dear GOP, do not screw up this election.
I don’t know what it means that more than one new blog is born every second, except that it takes a ridiculous amount of hustling for traffic and outright begging from fellow bloggers for links to get more than a trickle of traffic. The old way of creating quality content on a regular basis with the certainty that a large number of people would find you in time are dead.
We are definitely in a different Harry Potter world now. I’m actually looking forward to the finale of the series.
