Within the last week or two,
just about EVERYONE who is ANYONE in the pro-Palin community
has posted online that Governor Palin will announce that she is running for President
on "Constitution Day"
From conservatives4palin.com:

4. The announcement date will be …
Yes, that’s what we all want to know.
That’s what has provoked internecine battles among Palinistas. Some wanted her to declare last December, or this Spring, or yesterday. (Some believe she already declared informally on July 3, 2009 and everyone should just chill out!)
Some believe she should have jumped in before Bachmann and Perry.
The real answer, of course, is in Governor Palin’s head. No one knows when she will announce.
She has stated it will most likely be in September. Facts on the ground could change that, however. My prediction is that it will be on Constitution Day, Sept. 17, because the race is not just about her … it’s about all of us, and our common American values. But I don’t want to suggest that if she DOESN’T declare then that it will be a huge letdown. She will declare when she declares. I don’t have a problem with it. There are a million considerations, including which timing gives her the best shot at victory, the most important consideration of all.
But logic suggests that she might choose a meaningful day for her constituency, just as she announced for governor on Alaska Day, Oct. 18th. Alaska Day is the anniversary of the formal transfer of the Territory of Alaska from Russia to the United States in 1867.
Constitution Day marks the day, Sept. 17th, when the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787.
It isn’t a particularly well-known “holiday,” but here’s what the Governor wrote about it in 2009:

Today marks the 222nd anniversary of the formation and signing of our Constitution. The United States Constitution is one of the greatest founding documents in history because it charted a bold new path in the realm of political theory. Not only does the Constitution establish checks and balances within the federal government, it also divides power among the federal government, the states, and the people. The Founders understood that it is the nature of government to grow at the expense of the people’s liberty; and with that in mind, they established a form of government that would be limited in scope and power in order to maximize power to the people.
Today, let’s also take the opportunity to thank our armed forces. The weight of defending our liberty rests on their shoulders, and because of their efforts and sacrifice, we can celebrate the 222nd anniversary of the formation of our Constitution.

Will Governor Palin announce this Saturday? I have no idea. But if she does … you know what that means, my fellow Palinistas?!
We are five days away from the fundamental transformation of the presidential race!
