"For the Palin hate industry and equally for the dedicated supporters of Governor Palin the RNC announced potentially devastating news ;
"The Republican National Committee is announcing plans to hold nine presidential primary debates, with the first just seven months away. RNC officials reported Friday the first debate is scheduled for Ohio in August."
What this means to both groups is either the end of lucrative page clicks for the former and tears of exasperation for the latter or exhilaration, for vastly different reasons of course, in both camps.
To even think that the Palin hate industry e.g. the likes of the execrable "Wonkette" (whose stock in trade is glimpses of the editor's bosom to titivate the sites immature demographic) actually have any thoughts about the policies Gov Palin espouses is of course ludicrous. The cottage industry has run for 6 years throwing red meat to the, often unbalanced, readership to reap the financial rewards of page views.
In the 2012 GOP presidential primaries run-up Governor Palin kept all and sundry guessing right up to October 5th 2011"[which ] ends nearly a year’s worth of media speculation about her political aspiration." This time around, and being utterly realistic, the best the media speculation and blog for profit gang can do is squeeze about 6 months maximum out a possible Palin run. With the first debate set for August if Palin is not on the stage in Ohio with all the others who have declared then it can hardly be expected that there would be any credibility to a run held out to supporters subsequent to the first debate."
Nothing has changed to alter that analysis in my opinion except that we are in July and I have updated the new post to read "end of July" so I am still on track. It may be that, at the end of July, some events have happened (presuming that Governor Palin has not declared one way or the other, for this tale to reach its conclusion in August. August is, in my opinion, the very last chance for a positive declaration as by that point all possible candidates will have declared (there are two or at the most three still to come in July) and the debates will be upon us.
What has changed since January, apart from a multitude of candidates declaring and subsequently rising and falling and rising again and falling again in the polls, is some major activity by Palin. Which some see this as "housecleaning" before an announcement. Others see it a a preparation for a "road trip" as in 2012 to support her endorsed candidates and of course the haters, once again, and endlessly, see it as evidence that she is 'irrelevant" (but the still tweet about her which is very odd to say the least.
Actually it is not odd in the least because they wouldn't' be wasting their organizations time and backers money attacking palin unless she was perceived as a threat of some form-they don't seem to be attacking the last losing VP candidate Paul Ryan whose run was only three years ago compared to Palin's seven.
Here then, abridged in some cases, from a number of commentators at Conservatives For Palin, is a review of Palin's solid run of major activity in the last month. Readers can draw their own conclusion as to what it means but even blind Bob can see that it has something to do with the upcoming primary season and 2016 elections!

Toward the end of the video at 0:51. The bus is rolling and she said she'll be taking her message out on the road!
"It's not an announcement ...yet. But it's something to celebrate. First, closing SHEPac, then leaving FoxNews but not appearing on other venues, now opening SPC for mass consumption. These are all things that would be prerequisites for a campaign. The buzz should be starting.
