Nope, it's not conjecture, that's exactly what happened.
Proof?
Evidence?
Even a cite that leads to an opinion piece?
Anything?

She has positioned herself by being the keynote speaker at the "convention" they had. She has positioned herself by running around the nation "backing" the tea party canidate in almost every race.
She will not call herself the leader for many reasons, she will never come out and say she is the tea party leader, she is simply manovering to be seen as such.
If I took a poll that asked, "Who do you belive to be the strongest leader of the Tea Party Movement?" I suspect her name would be at the top of any list. That does not happen by accident, it happened because she has positioned herself to be viewed as such.

Instead she resorts to notes written ON her hand.
You said she was "trying to position herself as the leader of the tea party movement." That is your direct quote. Now, how has she done that? You claim, it is by giving speeches at rallies and supporting tea party candidates. But lots of people are giving speeches at rallies and supporting tea party candidates. You claim she is "maneuvering" (i guess that's what you tried to spell) to be the leader, but again... by making a speech or endorsing a candidate? Lots of people are doing that! Then you try to assert that public opinion of who is the strongest voice of the tea party, has something to do with what Palin is "trying to position" and that is absurdly stupid.

...And OH BY THE WAY... it was ROMNEY supporters who leaked the story!
Your post says nothing about South Africa?
I guess that was pure conjecture...! Or do you have something?
I guess you didn't read the part where Palin says it was "taken out of context" did you? She has declined to respond to the gossip, and so, there is not a link to some public statement made by Palin on this, and even if there were, you'd still find a way to contradict it. You can believe whatever you wish, if you really want to think someone like Sarah Palin wouldn't know that Africa is a continent, that is entirely up to you... I can see why someone as illiterate and under-educated as yourself, would think it perfectly normal to not know this, but most people with above a 6th grade education, are well aware that Africa is a continent.
"Appears..."When Palin first came into the light, she looked appealing. Strong, go-getter personality and personal success story. She was a popular reformer in Alaskan politics, a successful mayor, and a recently elected governor based upon her successful record. The strong, tough, independent frontier image balanced with the beauty queen factor was a great sell.
And everyday since then, she has appear worse and worse. Less intelligent, less in control, less aware, less politically saavy, less responsible, et. al.
"I think if there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA or about the continent versus the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context, and that is cruel and mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional, and those guys are jerks." -Sarah Palin

So even in that quote she belives there is a country named "Africa"? I wonder if she belives we have a state named "Mexico", "Hampshire" or "Dakota"....?
There are enough like me that such a victory would be a sign as her having actually shown that she has that understanding that I seek.What if she were to win the primary?

I think that Dix and others are premature in crowning her the primary victor though, mostly because there are many like me. Just being VP on a ticket isn't enough to get you a nomination like that.
May I introduce you to John Edwards ladies and Gentlemen. Edwards and Palin are a lot alike in this matter. Both much more of a pretty face than a viable presidential candidate.There are enough like me that such a victory would be a sign as her having actually shown that she has that understanding that I seek.
