WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sarah Palin may not formally seek the Republican nomination for President, but it makes sure that it remains public within the party.
No matter whether the Iowa State Fair on the eve of the closely monitored Iowa "straw poll" or roaring in Washington at a motorcycle rally in honour of veterans, Palin has orchestrated her performances in the focus of the Republican faithful.
Their political fund-raising has stayed behind, but polls show the former Vice President nominee has maintained a strong core of support, as she was flirting with the presidential campaign - and accounts for millions of books and television enter.
"she desperately wants to stay, that can participate in matters that can have real impact, a national figure" Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak said, adding that Palin part sees her role as someone, the Party of honest keeps rivals.
Although she has thrown not their hat in the ring, Palin is third in the Republican nomination fight, according to opinion polls compiled by real clear politics behind leader Mitt Romney and Texas Governor Rick Perry and just before the representative Michele Bachmann.
If they have entered, Palin the most prominent Republican in the field and a saved months would be the intra-party struggle, media control and expensive campaigns.
"As any other Republican, potentially running, it is her name out there to keep keep their brand but stay usually from the debate to prevent that no errors", Princeton University, said Professor Julian Zelizer.
"At least she keeps the Palin brand that go for other reasons," he said.
The former Republican vice presidential candidate one surprise at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines on Friday-stop scheduled properly between a debate between declared Republican rivals and Saturday's Ames straw poll, an unofficial campaign test of strength.
"she still look is regardless of whether she can run, goes," Ford said O'Connell, the consultant for the McCain-Palin campaign in the year 2008 was. "Her appearance in Iowa, which is the Centre of the political universe, shows that it is politically relevant."
It was Palin second high-profile trip of the summer in Iowa, the first competition of the Republican race to the nomination against Democratic President Barack Obama 2012 re-election bid will hold. It is also due to start next month with a tea party movement say rest in Iowa.
SEPTEMBER PERIOD?
"I believe there is enough time to jump in the race," Palin at the fair said Friday. "Just the entire process over the past year certainly shows me that, Yes, there is plenty of room for more people."
September would probably be their decision deadline. "I wants to be perceived not as stringing service people along", she said.
Since John McCain she selection 2008 made Vice President to his surprise, has Palin made millions. You will be contributing on Fox News channel, best-selling books written and starred in a reality TV show.
Palin improved their political influence in the 2010 midterm election campaigns for candidates in the Congress and supported by the tea party election conservative grass-roots movement.
Fueling speculation about their plans, the former Governor of Alaska allegedly bought a house in Arizona, where she could base a campaign and has traveled overseas to increase their foreign policy credentials. On Memorial day it roared in Washington on a motorcycle and then joined her "one nation"-bus tour to historical sites on the East Coast.
Palin is in an area much, all political candidate-slipped the money race.
Palin's primary fundraising Committee, SarahPAC, triggered paltry $1.6 million in the first half of 2011, far below the amount to finance a campaign staff and country travel required.
Romney, the leader of the Republican money, raised more than $ 18 million in the second quarter alone.
Palin's complaint also by Bachmann who usurped a tea party movement, that many of the same anti-Washington appeals to voters. Perry is also popular with tea party movement backers.
Palin's Iowa visit was not the first time this summer that spotlight of declared Republican candidates have stolen their travels. In June Palin went to New Hampshire on the day, the Romney of his presidential campaign started.
And she was visited in Iowa for the premiere of their documentary "The undefeated" such as Obama the State on 28 June, the day after Bachmann announced that she would run.
"she enjoys in a way, big-timing the announced candidates." She enjoys in markets, where people do things, and what they see that it is a major political figure, "said Mackowiak."
