Is Palin Alienating Israel’s GOP Friends? - David Frum

Everything she does says she is not running for President. Then again, she has to be the birthday girl at every party she goes to, so whether her expectations of winning are realistic or not is outside of this equation. This may be some hamfisted and clumsy way to give herself some talking points on foreign experience and expertise. It won't work, but that's beside the point. She's convinced it will work, and there the questions end. Unfortunately she's been wrongly predicted to fail so many times that the normal fear of failure has worn off of her. That and her bottomless ambition.
The one thing that I think could keep her out of the race is that, if she were to be rejected by the voters, there is no one to really blame - she would have to blame the amorphous "The People". Even she knows that no one would buy that, the failure would project onto her and stick (and stink) forever. Safer to become a pundit without actually having to comment in an unsafe environment.
