63 high profile pundits have stated publicly that the believe she will run and they are listed below with (in most cases) the links to their statements-so there is no place to hide or on the other hand there is a place to point to and trumpet.
In a near equal balance here are the 53 high profile pundits who have stated publicly that Palin won't run with their links. The only certain thing is that either 63 or 53 will have a lot of crow to eat (and I will release these lists one by one for the "she won't run" pundits if they are wrong, and not at all for the "she will run " pundits if they are wrong, as this blog is not fair and balanced).
I look forward to, hopefully releasing both lists on or about September 3rd.

53 PUNDITS WHO HAVE STATED PALIN WILL NOT RUN
Chuck Todd "Palin can NEVER get the nomination"
These 53 assorted Beltway insiders, pundits, columnists, talk show hosts, political television show hosts, religious leaders,"progressive" and other bloggers all agreed on one subject (or variations thereof e.g. "The demise of Palin/"She's irrelevant") "Sarah Palin won't run for president in 2012."
Some said she shouldn't run "for the good of the GOP" or their preferred alternative candidate. Some allowed for her running "but she has no chance of getting the nomination". And for the tiny minority of these prognosticators who think she actually has a chance of getting the nomination "Reagan Palin has absolutely no chance of defeating President Carter Obama"
In their "objectivity" they have variously described her as running a clown show, a reality TV show, an ego parade, a personal rehabilitation exercise, a narcissistic agenda, a revenge against the media program and other, varied, descriptions of Palin and her motives. These opinions pontificated from their elitist seats at the table of the oracle's temple.
I haven't included the mad "Trig truther" bloggers of course-not crediting them as seers (much less as human beings).The following pundits, linked to their statements so they can't run and hide/deny them, may, shortly, all have egg on their collective faces, damaged, hopefully irreversibly so, reputations, and will have been given a lesson by the master of the new Realpolitik. N.B. If I have left anyone of significance off the list the name/blog and link would be appreciated in the comments section.
Palin Should Not Run/Palin Will Not Run For President/Palin's Role Should Be A Supporter Of The Nominee/Palin Would Not Get The Nomination If She Runs(TBC)/Obama Would Easily Beat Palin (TBC):NEW! Palin Will never be elected president.(TBC).

Paul Waldman The American prospect "Palin's game is one you can only play for so long. Once it becomes clear you aren't actually running, people lose interest.
