The author gets it, what is the problem with her waiting to announce? She's said she's waiting till some time in September, yet it's somehow driving a few conservatives crazy.

Okay, I’ve never heard of Sarah Palin running hit teams out after former supporters. (She’d probably like to do that to Andrew Sullivan and Levi Johnston, but that’s another story.)

Erik, Erik, Erik...

Scientology is a one-work oxymoron...and the “religion” is composed entirely of morons.

However, as wacky as it is...it makes much more sense than liberalism...and it probably works better.

So, go back to your lib friends who have never, ever created anything useful, and leave progress to we science types.

Oh, and like it or not, we love Sarah...who has accomplished much more than you ever will.

"Erick Erickson: “moving on from Sarah Palin is like leaving Scientology”"

I would say that it's more like when the big high school dance came around and you asked the hottest, sexiest chick to go with you. See, she batted her eyelashes at you and you thought that was an invitation to ask. Then, she turns you down cold. Oh no, now it's time to scramble for the second or third choice so you can have a date to the dance.

And before anyone asks, yes I'm speaking from experience... : )

Having actually left Scientology, I can assure you Sarah is nothing like Scientology.

So you have questions about Scientology...

Typical the elites and wannabee elites love eating their own folks because they threaten their power or perceived power. I one makes a decision based on how others will view it is most likely a bad decision. Leave the women alone move on and enjoy supporting another candidate. Attack Obama because he is the enemy. Sarah will be attacking Obama and his agenda whether she puts on her running shoes or not. Quit whining and get focused, Obama is messing with our liberty daily and you are trashing his opposition who should be your ally. Sarah will do more than any of us in defeating the liberal agenda then any of us in red pumps or running shoes.

How does her waiting to announce show leadership? or decisiveness? Palin has gone celeb on us, and the oldest media trick in the book is the one where you string people along for the ‘big reveal’.

She was supposed to have a big announcement in Iowa this past week. She delivered a standard-issue speech with no big announcement. yawn.

Many folks are getting bored with it and moving on. How do you talk honestly about the fact that she’s jumped the shark, when the left has PDS and says everything to hurt her, and her own supporters have thin skin due to that media assault?

Palin would do everyone a favor and show leadership by making a clear decision as soon as possible and ‘get on with it’ whatever it is.

Erik Erickson has become a backstabbing, political pimp.

He fawned all over Herman Cain, until WSB gave him Herman’s radio spot, now he uses that evening time slot to trash conservatives, including Palin and Cain.

Those "conservatives" who've been whining about Sarah Palin officially announcing by their demand were already nuts and kooks. Palin merely exposes them.

The question is, WHY is Gov. Palin waiting “till some time in September?” Nobody seems to be able to supply a good reason for that. (”Not decided yet” is a very poor reason.) But good reasons to wait, if she’s already decided not to run, they’re easy.
So, if she’s decided to run... WHY delay.

Sarah Palin:

“I talk about politics. Other conservatives talk about me.”

Re-read the Erickson piece.
The op-ed is about how Palin supporters react, no about Governor Palin:

“To not bow at the throne of Sarah you get disowned. You get attacked. You have people drum up stories attacking your credibility. “Oh, Perry announced at his event, he must be bought and paid for,” etc. Ironically, some of the very people going after this site’s and my credibility — claiming we’re pressured to do things by higher ups at Eagle Publishing — are people who were on payrolls advocating for clients while refusing to disclose potential conflicts among other things. To add comedy to irony, it seems more and more apparent that some of those who attacked this site and me for holding editorial positions based on what our corporate parent dictates (a lie designed to undermine our lack of sufficiently pro Palin bona fides among other things) are themselves engaging in projection because it is they, not RedState nor me, who must tread carefully in who they attack because their livelihoods depend on it. It’s always the kooks who project their sins on others.”

Erick the Red has discovered what nearly every other media outlet has: mention the word “Palin” and viewership/readership skyrockets... Just sayin’

Eric Erickson is a fat little troll, who appointed himself as a leader on the right.

I laugh every time I read one of his rants. A.) He can’t write for sh!t. And B.) It’s usually some directive or demand that we call this Senator and/or that cause.

He’s like our sides KOS. A little puke tyrant.

PS - He can suck it. As can Coulter, Ingraham, Rove, and the rest of the POFS establishment class who have now decided to come out of the wood work and trash Palin as her announcement draws closer.

PSS - Here’s hoping she surprising them all and runs 3rd f n party. I hate them all.

Palin is using her platform to put out ideas rather than to ultimately run for president, which is fine, but on the subject of Erickson, he’s a soft conservative at best. He started a more-or-less conservative Georgia blogsite, PeachPundit, and when his responsibilities increased he “gave” the site to a RINO Democrat apologist.
