I think they’re going to throw Christie or Jeb Bush at her if she jumps in and she knows it. It seems to me that her plans require her to be the last one in the race. Probably to capitalize on the ‘instant front-runner’ status that new blood seems to bring to the race. They know this and want to take the wind our of her sails with a ‘big name’ candidate.

Once the first filing deadline has passed, the threat of throwing another candidate at her is gone.

I brought up a theory that was shot down instantly by a couple of people here the other day, but I think it might well come into play: Sarah may just wait silently until the first filing deadline and file for it very late on the last day possible without announcing anything to anyone.

Someone told me that she’d never give up ‘her moment’ by doing such a thing, but remember when she said you wouldn’t be able to miss her announcement? Well, if she files without announcing, it’ll be front page news everywhere within hours. And the quieter she is, the more they’ll go insane over it. When she makes a statement, it would be something along the lines of “I still haven’t made my final decision, but I wanted to keep my options open. Why should I be forced to announce or not announce based on some artificial deadline??”

Either that or she’s decided not to run and is just throwing cold water on supporters. Frankly, that was my initial impression from the interview, though reflection after the fact makes me wonder what the motive would be to do that at this point. Who knows...we’ll find out soon enough, I guess.

.............your reading my mind!

..........I think Utah is October 14 and the first deadline. Some freeper will correct me if I’m wrong. In the big scheme of things, Utah is un-important. So, as you say, just file and say nothing and let the establishment pubbie pukes and the press twist some more. I’m to the point where I hate the establishment pubbies almost as bad as the Dims.

Blah!

How could either of those two heavily RINO-branded midgets mean anything to anyone but Romney or Perry? They can’t reach a conservative.
