I will go you one further, counselor. I think, although Governor Palin will not use her September 3 address to announce her own candidacy, she will in the course of laying out her vision for America and her priorities take out several candidates at the knees.

Interesting theory. It would be a way to ratchet up the anticipation one more notch without actually declaring, just remove all doubt that she will support anyone else in the current field. At that moment, all "cheerleader" memes begin a rapid descent into oblivion, leaving one, stark, binary choice. I like it.
