I saw her say it in two places, walking around at the Iowa straw poll and on Greta as well. She said September was a “drop dead date”, and it wasn't fair to string people along who want to support her, but want to support someone else if she doesn't run. You may not consider that a commitment, I do. I like Sarah and was ready to support her a year ago, but I doubted she would run. I still doubt it, and she should have made up her mind by now. I don't buy this “brilliant strategy” crap, although if the other candidates keep self-destructing she may get lucky. If she does deign to run.

You got the latter part of that right, but Sarah has never said the words, "drop dead date" in regards to when she'll enter the race. If she had, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now, because that would have been her de facto announcement.

I like Sarah and was ready to support her a year ago, but I doubted she would run. I still doubt it, and she should have made up her mind by now.

If you've doubted that she's going to run for so long, why are you so bent out of shape that she hasn't "made up her mind by now"? Doesn't that just sort of confirm what you've been thinking all along?

And you were ready to support her a year ago, but what - she didn't jump into the race in October of 2010, so you lost faith or something? Uh-huh....
