It's official, almost. Palin is serious about running! Read this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01/12/AR2011011202145.html
Why? One reason is that Palin will get at least one more book out of the race, and a couple of years more life as a paid commentator afterward. As it was, her appeal was wearing thin, even for devout Palinites, many of whom would start drifting away if she didn't run.
Which I guess makes for a more exciting presidential race leading up to a catastrophic defeat, because unless Obama is caught beating his wife or molesting his children, snorting coke in the Oval Office, or stupping his girlfriend in the Rose Garden, he will win, against Palin or Romney or whomever.
What will be interesting is how Palin tries to remold herself. The old Palin is a dead duck, with little support outside a minority Republican core, and very little appeal to independents. To make a serious run, she will have to change her image significantly. And that means 22 months of entertainment.
INTRODUCCCIIIINNNNGGGGG, CHAMELO-PALIN!!!
