I suppose that Sarah Palin saying she is indeed pondering a 2012 run at the White House isn’t terribly big news. But that’s what she told a writer for the New York Times Magazine in an interview — conducted two days after the midterm elections for a 7,800-word profile, due out Sunday.
So what did the New York Times magazine do with that “scoop”?
If your answer was, “Sit on it for two weeks and then give it to Politico before putting the story online,” well, you’re right!
Mike Allen reports:
Palin spoke for close to an hour by phone with the article’s author, Robert Draper, two days after the midterm elections.
