This Tweet from
Governor Palin's shortly to be Son-in-Law Congressional Medal of
Honor recipient Dakota Meyer may be a significant portent of what may be
to come as far as Palin's political future is concerned.

@Dakota_Meyer
"I
have to say after listening to @RealBenCarson speak this morning, I
had a sense of hope. He's the first candidate that seems to get it!"
Of
course Meyer may be expressing his genuine felt admiration for
Dr.Carson as a man of principles and a man whose principles are
within the framework of those expressed and portrayed by his Mother-in-Law to be.
On
the other hand it would seem somewhat disingenuous to not
consider that any public expression of political interest
by Meyer, who is of course now under intense scrutiny
by the Palin haters, would entirely
pass
by his fiance and subsequently Governor Palin.
But
perhaps it has, or perhaps the Palin family see it as an example of
the perfect freedom to state his mind that Meyer has-which freedom
does not necessarily mean that all such thoughts reflect the
thinking of Sarah herself.
But
Palin watchers remember that in the 2012
primaries when Governor Palin voted for Newt Gingrich without
formally endorsing him. However her husband Todd Palin did
formally endorse
Newt which
even blind Bob could see might have reflected the thinking
of Governor Palin herself. Certainly, shortly after
the Todd Palin endorsement a number of Blogs
supporting Gingrich sprung up which were run by prominent Palin
supporters.
In the end Sarah Palin endorsed Mitt Romney just before
the election with a "anyone but Obama" endorsement which
was hardly a massive vote of confidence in Romney.
Is
Dakota Meyer's Tweet a wink and a nod to Palin supporters that she
will not run and that Dr.Carson may be
her endorsement choice? The window of opportunity is
closing for Governor Palin in my opinion-the weeks
immediately after the wedding of Bristol and Dakota may be the
last realistic opportunity for her to mount
a credible campaign-certainly once the debates have
commenced it would be challenging then to jump in. See "Governor Palin to put supporters (and haters) out of their misery by July?
If
Palin chooses not to run, and does endorse Dr. Carson, then that would be a
fine choice as far as I am concerned. I have, always, been
about "Palin-ism
in the Presidency" and
if Governor Palin sees Dr. Carson as the best person,
besides herself of course, to bring her principles, values and
morals to the oval office then he would have my vote. On
the other hand my fondest wish is that Governor Palin
herself runs-Palin/Carson anyone?
That is perhaps yet another possible wink
and nod message-we shall see!
