More Trial Balloons from 2016 GOP Wannabees?

Palin says she’s ‘seriously interested’ in 2016 campaign (Robert Costa) from the Washington Post
"Still, Palin said that she is not yet ramping up a national political operation. Instead, Palin said, she is contemplating her political future and does not feel rushed to make a final decision."
This last line tells me that she is much more in the Donald Trump seriously not-seriously-thinking-about-it school of campaigning.  ALL the other GOP potentials for 2016 must be quietly praying that she doesn't show up at all in Iowa or New Hampshire because Palin, to quote from Mr. Banks' Mary Poppins song, has "chaos in her wake"; she can slice and dice better than Julia Child and has a base within the hard right that Cruz, Huckabee and others can only envy.  Ah, but in truth, from a liberal Democrat's point of view, the possibility of her running, like seriously seriously?, is just too good to be true.  She has a PhD in political ambulance chasing, and I think this just another exercise in it.  Maybe there is someone (Roger Ailes?) for whom this threat will act as a great form of blackmail? - Nuggetsman
