In the final episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” on TLC — which Governor Palin herself produced and had complete creative control over — the Governor promised to let Bob and Mark know, on the air, when she decides to run for president. Since the Governor personally chose to have that bit included in the episode, there has to be a reason for this.
“The Bob and Mark Show” broadcasts Monday through Friday. Though tomorrow is Constitution Day, today’s when Constitution Day is observed in most of the country. It’s also a day when “The Bob and Mark Show” broadcasts.
Many believe the Governor will announce her presidential bid on the show today — since she appears to indeed be scheduled as a guest at 930am PST…which is 1130am CST and 1230pm EST.
I have no idea what will happen on the show, but I’m going to tune in just in case.
If you hear anything else pertaining to this, please share the info in this thread.
It sure is interesting the Governor is booked on this show, today of all days, since restoring respect for the Constitution is one of the main planks in what’s presumed to be the Governor’s presidential platform.
Tune into “The Bob & Mark Show” to see what happens!
********************************************************
PS: I’ve been trying for a few weeks now to determine if Governor Palin has any public events scheduled for Constitution Day (observed today, or tomorrow 9/17/11). I have not been able to turn up anything, which is intriguing in itself.
We don’t know what this means yet — if anything — but I’m sure going to listen to “The Bob & Mark Show” to see if she’s really going to be on, and to listen to what the Governor says if she does in fact appear on the show.
****************************************************************
UPDATE: It looks like the source of this rumor is Simon Conway, who is a drive time radio host in Iowa, who said on Facebook that he saw something posted at a Palin supporting group about the Bob & Mark appearance before it was taken down. Conway seems like he wanted to be the first to say she was going to announce today, so he would get the attention that would come with that.
Looking at the GOP schedule of debates, though, I don’t know what to think to be honest. Rick Perry loses more steam every debate, and the next debate is not until September 22nd. It sure keeps with Governor Palin’s past announcements to declare her candidacy on a symbolic day like Constitution Day…but it also seems like part of her strategy to keep allowing Perry to further implode before she joins the race.
We all know the moment Governor Palin announces, she’ll be the sole focus, and guys like Perry won’t get the vetting and media attention they need as her opponents.
The debate after the 22nd is in October, on a day when the Governor is scheduled to give a speech on economics in Korea. Technically, she could fly back in time to participate in the debate, since she’d make up time on the 14 hour flight back to the States, though I don’t know if she’d be inclined to do this.
It seems odd for her to participate in the September 22nd debate, but then skip the one on October 18th, and then rejoin the group a debate after that…unless her intention is to begin participating in the debates after the 18th.
That would give her opponents two appearances on the stage without her to attack her, and I don’t see her allowing that to happen though.
I think even the Governor’s detractors need to admit she’s a masterful strategist who keeps everyone guessing. She really brings great excitement to American politics. Honestly, my boyfriend Justin asked what I was typing so late and I told him, and now he’s too excited to sleep and has actually woken his mother up in Arkansas to tell her to listen to this radio show. I told him not to do this, but he’s excited at the mere prospect of Governor Palin announcing today.
I don’t think even Mittens Romneycare’s own family are excited by anything he does. Let alone complete strangers.
Can you imagine someone like Justin calling his mother long distance in the middle of the night, waking her up, just to tell her there’s a chance Mitt Romney could be on an obscure radio show in Alaska later that morning — and that she would be excited and happy he did this?

Sarah might want to rethink that commitment given this morning's tease by these two joker jockeys.
Playing “The B!tch is Back” and then saying Palin is going to call in is an interesting scenario.
Their show is a bit disjointed.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
I will not be torturing myselft with B&M again, regarless.
I’d rather live with hearing of her announcement through other media.
Well, it IS radio and morning radio at that, LOL!
. Are you old enough to remember Jean Sheperd and Lovejoy soap?
That was CLASSIC! Too long for here but go do a google.
Then there was the time he promised everyone stuck in morning rush traffic that he could guarantee he could get them moving. He teased it for days and when the time came he had everyone tuned to the show to crank up their radios and roll down their windows. He them played emergency siren sounds!
Shep was...amazing!
And Sarah Palin is playing along.
She could have released a tweet saying that she was not going to be on this show and quelled the rumors. But she didn't. So now all of her dedicated followers are going to look like dedicated fools.
Thank you Sarah for.... nothing.
Hmmm...I’m thinking I have the name of the soap wrong but it was something like that. I’m old and...forgetful...sigh.

It's Friday.
Maybe it's time for a thread hijack.
What did she have to do with it?
I don’t follow...there was an unsubstantiated rumor from a single source which has no history of getting anything right, and somehow that’s Sarah’s fault?
If Todd really is hunting, did it occur to you they’re in the woods and have no idea about all this non-sense.
As for B&M...the other day I listened to Howard Stearn’s original show from 9/11. I never listened to him before. Every preconceived notion I had about him and his sycophants was validated - they were embarrassingly ignorant, crass, juvenile, and self-absorbed in their own irrelevance. They didn’t know the first WTC bombing was in ‘93, and they confused that with Reagan attacking Quadaffi for the Berlin disco...they were all over the map. Their initial take was typical liberal pap, followed by full blood-lust “let’s nuke them whether they’re responsible or not!”
B&M are just cheap copies of Howard Stearn. They can’t be taken seriously. If Sarah does announce on their show, it will just be a local Alaska thing, and have no bearing on her election.
A doctor examining a woman who had been rushed to the Emergency Room, took the husband aside, and said, ‘I don’t like the looks of your wife at all.’
‘Me neither doc,’ said the husband. ‘But she’s a great cook and really good with the kids.’
I guess she's not paying attention to the news cycle.
Yes, she has an obligation to her followers to make sure they aren't looked upon as idiots. She knew about this rumor. If she didn't, then she certainly isn't very aware of her surroundings. She could have tweeted a one line tweet saying it wasn't true. But frankly, I think at this point she is just playing everyone for fools just like Bob and Mark.
I gave up on her already. You are right, timing is everything, and her time has passed. There was a window of opportunity, but she missed it. And this stunt didn't help at all. Not at all.
This wasn’t HER stunt.
Todd knew nothing about it. He's out hunting moose. Do you know if Sarah is with him? Neither do I.
You rage and get emotional. I'll keep laughing.
The fact that a lot of her fans nationwide turned in today to listen means that while it wasn't her stunt, she owns it.
She made a promise to announce on this show and these guys ran with a rumor that she was going to do it today.
Whether she was in on the rumor or not does not mean that she doesn't have an obligation to her base to quell these rumors. It only would have taken a second. But she didn't bother. Maybe she was too busy trying to decide if she is running or not to send out a two second tweet.
It wasn't really their fault (except for being gullible) or even the Palins' fault (even though it wouldn't have hurt to clarify that she wasn't announcing today), but it just shows that this is more of a circus than a serious Presidential primary campaign.
Tuning into a raunchy morning show thousands of miles away for some little nibble of information on whether someone is going to run for leader of the free world?
Kind of sad really. I can't imagine Perry supporters getting sweaty and excited by tuning into Jim Bob and Cletus in the morning on KHIK in Amarillo just to hear something about the campaign.
I saw this RUMOR when it first popped up last evening. It was from a questionable souce, it was second or third-hand (”from someone inside the Palin camp”), it was unsubstantiated, it was conveniently placed on several unofficial Pro-Palin sites, and it drew a great deal of attention to one radio show.
I told a number of people last night that NOWHERE was there any kind of official word about this. Sarah Palin hadn’t said anything. NONE of the officials, stations, or principal people that would have had to be involved said anything publicly — even though there were FALSE reports that “people at the station said” or “someone in the Palin came said...” And I made clear to everyone (1) DON’T run with this until you hear from Sarah herself, and (2) DON’T blame Sarah if it turns out to be untrue, as she had NOTHING to do with it.
And yet, some on this thread take the opportunity to bash Sarah Palin anyway. It figures. What does Sarah have to apologize for? She didn’t start the RUMOR. Go to the unreliable source. Sarah Palin has no responsibility to answer for a rumor she had nothing to do with starting.
Sarah Palin has made clear, numerous times, that she is praying about, discussing with family and considering entering the Presidential race — but that she will announce a decision by the end of September. She knows the current circumstances, the time constraints and the commitments she’s made. I think she can be trusted to keep her word — and the fact is, if she doesn’t announce something by Sept. 30th, the deadline for fin]ling for the Iowa Caucus will pass, and that would cripple any real shot at a candidacy anyway.
So, chill with the harsh words for Lady Palin. Truth is, looking at the current crop of Republican Candidates, Sarah stands head and shoulders above every other current candidate in integrity, principle, ideology and identification with common American citizens. I really believe we should be hoping she runs — or we might be in for a LONG 4 years after then next election....
I'm getting tired of hearing about her.
She's not running.
I was pretty pro-Palin, once. Now, not so much.
