Limbaugh: Hold off analyzing Palin

Rush Limbaugh is playing it safe with the Palin resignation. He’s not sure what it means, and he doesn’t want to speculate, according to remarks he made on his show today:

“As far as I know, nobody in Palin’s camp or Palin herself has said what the hell this is about and why she’s doing this. So everybody’s guessing and everybody’s applying their own, either inside-the-Beltway formulas to this…..

I don’t think this precludes her running for office down the road, the presidency in 2012, at all. I think these people saying that she’s an instant target because she quit, that’s just inside-the-Beltway formulaic and she’s not that. If anything this woman, her m.o. is outside-the-box and not formulaic. So until we know what this is all about, I think it’s just everybody trying to be the smartest person in the room trying to predict or analyze, when nobody can really know. All I know is that she is going to continue to fire-up people in the conservative Republican base as often as she speaks to ’em.”…

…So I hope this helps, but I’m not going to sit here and tell you I know for sure what this means because I don’t, ’cause I haven’t heard her say–I haven’t heard anybody in her camp say–what this is all about and why she’s doing it. It’s all just speculation, and until we know, it’s just stupid to sit here and say, “I know for sure what she’s doing,” when nobody does except her–and she’ll tell us at some point, and then we’ll know.
