Rush appears to be approving Perry, also, without actually endorsing him.

Palin waited too long. The train has finally left the station without her....and it won't back up.

Prominent names and smart monies now feel free to finalize their choices. The most notable magnet of the field is certainly candidate Perry, as the polls indicate.

See you in September

Palin waited too long.

I don't think Sarah ever really wanted to run. I think she is willing to, if there were no other good candidates out there and she felt the country needed her. As those who know here well say, she hs a servant's heart. But I think she is probably quite happy to let Perry (who she likes and supported for reelection) take the standard and lead the charge.

Of course I could be completely wrong.

Again. Like it always does. I've lost track now of how many times her campaign has been at death's door. Sorry MG, but that train of "prominent names" and "big money" is what got us in all this trouble in the first place. The real train doesn't leave the station till the vetting is over and We the People clear that train for departure. To imagine otherwise is to misunderstand the times.

She stayed in for the benefit for her PAC, speaking fees and her influence over the election. She’s not running unless she made another political miscaculation.

If she enters late, her supporters will melt down into a hell fire, cussing mess worse than we see now. She does not have the numbers to win and if she does not win, she loses influence and speaking fees - her future career.
