Again you are making assumptions based on nothing. She stated her time frame, the end of Sept to early Oct. She has said or done NOTHING that would make you assume that she didn’t mean it.”
I disagree entirely. She has done plenty to make me doubt it...but that point goes to how one interprets her activities and non-traditional pre-campaign activities. I interpret the fact that she is doing nothing, quite literally, which would comport with a traditional campaign approach as evidence that she is not running, and doesn’t intend to run. And included in that is the hilarious notion that anyone would ever announce on the Bob and Mark show. This is simply not serious. (Maybe she was joking, though...or maybe the press accounts of her saying that are just wrong).
Her die hard supporters, on the other hand, interpret the same body of activities as her strategic brilliance and the obvious fact that her campaign will look nothing like any campaign since the 19th century. Same body of evidence; different interpretations.
We will know in about two weeks if she is going to stick by the September date or not. Then we’ll see who is right and who is wrong. As I already said, I’d be glad to be wrong. It hurts America if she doesn’t do something in these two weeks.
Also, unlike Sarah’s supporters, I am also willing to admit that I “might” be wrong. But I don’t detect any lack of certainty on their part, and that is, frankly, one of the least attractive qualities of her campaign (whether it happens or not). Look, the rest of us are not idiots. And implicitly and explicitly calling us that (and worse) is not only wrong factually and morally wrong, it is alienating potential supporters of the campaign she might run. At one time, up until mid-August or so, I considered myself a potential supporter; I’m not so sure now as I consider her delay to be inappropriate and unhelpful to the all important goal of beating obama (to which you can reply, “we don’t give a rat’s ass about one person’s vote”...and that is fine. My vote is just one. But I know many others have had similar thoughts over the last 45 days or so).
Give examples with links of Palin breaking her word or give up.

There are several instances of her saying they'd be the first to know.
You really DON'T know anything, do you.
Have a nice day.
