One can only hope the story bears fruit…
From Maggie Haberman at Politico: "Sarah Palin-affiliated law firm made early-state deadline inquiries."
Ken Vogel and I both have sources telling us that calls were made on behalf of a mystery candidate to various early states to determine presidential filing deadlines.
The calls were made by representatives of the law firm Baker Hostetler - a firm that employs lawyer Mark Braden, who represents Sarah PAC, her political action committee.
As Ken notes, while he nor representatives of Palin’s campaign would comment on the calls, Palin is the only GOP politician eying the presidential race who is represented by the firm.
The current thinking in GOP election law circles is that the first hard cut-off for entering the race is Oct. 28, when presidential candidates who hope to appear on the ballot in the New Hampshire primary would be required to submit a filing fee from a federally registered presidential campaign committee.

Not even close, constant reader. She will surprise everyone, especially her enemies...
I am not her enemy, but she makes a good cheerleader, but a poor leader.
We will have to wait and see. Personally I wish Cain would make it, but the staus quo as usual will prevail. We will get another RINO as usual.
No we won't if we nominate Palin. You are falling right in the Dems trap...
George keep on keeping on.
I was worried when I heard she was intending to sue over that book that she might not be running.
I wonder why so many on our side do not understand that she is our best hope.
I cannot see how a Palin/Rubio ticket can lose.
[...] A lot of speculation was building, right up until earlier today. Even a possible run as an independent, which would have been a disasterous split of the conservative/republican vote and gotten Obama a second term, in my opion. But it's a firm "NO" for Gov. Sarah Palin. [...]
