Awwww, she isn't playing by the elite's rules.

[Texas Fossil]

She may have gotten a better offer.

Either way she has been good for the cause.

[Free Vulcan]

If she wants to be competitive in Iowa I’d say she needs to announce by Labor Day so her ground team has time to organize. However, as much as we here in Iowa would like to think we’re important, we’re not. We only pick the GOP nominee about half the time.

Where she needs to come out strong is SC and FL. What the drop dead date in those states are I don’t know.

she isn't playing by the elite's rules

Is that what the editorial board of the Sioux City Iowa Journal are? Elites? ..... I'll be darned.

[Cicero]

I’m not familiar with the The Sioux City Journal, but now I see it’s indistinguishable from every other left wing rag out there.

Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn raise doubts and point out that he sees no evidence of a Palin organization that could be ready to compete in the caucuses.

That statement is in direct contradiction to others made by Iowa Republican Party operatives.

Former Governor Palin has always planned on running. I'm sure she sees no benefit to an earlier announcement than her infinite wisdom suggest to her. It also does give her a little wiggle room if she chooses not to run (unlikely).

As for myself, who does NOT support Sarah Palin for president, I would be very disappointed if she declined to run.

[Cementjungle]

And we in the media make it easy for her...

lol

[abcc2011]

"Awwww, she isn't playing by the elite's rules."

That was my thought exactly. Poor wittle babies! Sarah's not playing fair, huh?. LOL! This is ridicious. I've read that in the past some candidates have waited as late as October to declare won. Although, many of her fans want her to jump in asap, there's plenty of time. Patience is a virtue. Sarah knows what she's doing. She has a strategy.

[FreeReign]

She told the media throng a decision will come sometime in September or October.

I haven't seen a direct quote yet. Did she say this?

[newzjunkey]

I don't care if she gets in but if Christie gets in there will be hell to pay.

I'm sick to death of Northeastern & Beltway Republicans trying to shove Chris Christie down our throats.

[TBP]

Sarah will decide when Sarah decides, not when the Establishment elitists decide that she must decide.

They’re scared to death of her.

[Talisker]

We'd like to see an earlier timetable, but today we will settle for simply encouraging Palin to be a woman of her word and let us know where she stands.

LOL, well I'm sure she'll get right on that for ya'll.

Not an easy decision to put your family through such an ordeal of constant media hatred. She’s wise to take her time to decide.

I would love to see her President, but voters are not what they use to be. Common sense is lacking. People can be manipulated by the MSM.

Sarah has considerable power without being President. Maybe she will choose to remain a strong voice on the sidelines without putting her family through rabid political abuse. They mean more to her than the White House, I’m sure.

[The Bronze Titan]

Here’s the dirty little secret:

The media follow Palin because PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW everything Palin.

Now tell me ‘who’ is really in control in terms of deciding WHEN to announce?

[wardaddy]

Fried butter...man no way..I like butter...on pancakes with alAga cane syrup

but fried butter...lordy mercy

[kevkrom]

Iowans will quickly grow tired of this act if Palin doesn't make her intentions clear soon

Iowans think way too much of themselves and their importance in selecting candidates.

[SarahPalinForPresident2012]

she will announce in October — they are wasting their time trying to hustle her

[Old Teufel Hunden]

" But it is interesting to hear Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matt Strawn raise doubts and point out that he sees no evidence of a Palin organization that could be ready to compete in the caucuses."

The most important part of the article. Someone who has no dog in this fight and someone who would know whose campaign is on the ground and competing heavily. Very relevant point here...
