Palin's Camp to Rove: You Know Nothing

...about Sarah Palin's 2012 intentions, at least

(Newser) – Karl Rove has said it and said it again in recent days: Sarah Palin will run. Apparently, that wasn't inside information gleaned from his BFF, Sarah Palin. Politico spotted another "Setting the Record Straight" post on the SarahPAC website that doesn't name Rove, but clearly takes a swing at him, referring to him as a DC pundit who "predicted with glee the demise of Sarah Palin's political career" in 2008 only to change his tune, "citing false information that she has made a decision and set a date regarding a future campaign."

So what's the truth? "Any professional pundit claiming to have 'inside information' regarding Governor Palin's personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public." Team Palin hopes Americans will reject these "political games," which it sees as "more of the 'politics-as-usual' that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career."

Helloooo... She rides a campaign style bus to GOP primary events. She may never admit it... but she's running

I'm more concerned about who her next "target" will be.
