No blackmail at all. She's warning the conventional GOP that the Tea Party is at risk of not playing along with them. She's not stating that she'll personally do anything. Actually, I have a friend who owns his own PR firm and does sports promotion stuff like The Murray Bros golf clothing line and a few pro teams. But before that he held a post under a VP and still has very strong ties with the under the hood side of politics. And what I heard, not long before the home purchase in Az was that she was hitting up the GOP for campaign appearance bookings to draw a crowd for the various primary candidates and they zigzagged around the country. She got snubbed. Apparently the republican party leadership doesn't want her associated with the effort to take the white house in 2012. During that time she also conducted 6 weeks of focus groups in Az. I thought, that she was going to make a bid for the senate race in Az. But I am not even sure she can still legally get in the race at this point and in the closing weeks of her time in Az, she started preparing the bus tour. My friend commented that the word was she is embarrassing the money out of them by showing up close to whistle stops and taking their wind. And she did a masterful Job on Romney. The media people get entirely fascinated with the Gilligan-like vignettes she does for the camera. And the day after one of the presumed front runner announced, the candidate BARELY makes the regional news and his item is positioned WELL BEHIND Sarah's wacky antics. Now, with these third party comments, her game becomes pretty clear. My guess is that since they do fear her in some fashion, there'll be a quiet payoff and a big public family reunion out on her bus tour where she is "SO GLAD candidate X spoke up about the issues us regular guys care about everyday, like availability of ammo" , or she just just fucking disappears, the decal gets peeled off the bus, and she writes another political book for field and stream.
