She’s running yet she’s not running. How long is she going to play this? I can see people pledging themselves to other candidates because Palin is going about this the wrong way and it will backfire.
Reagan got in in November, Sarah has plenty os time, if its good enough for Reagan, its good enough for Palin.
She seems to have set herself a time limit of August/September to announce a decision, so you won’t have to hold your horses much longer. ;)
If anyone really backs Sarah, they are not pledging to other candidates because mrs peel thinks Sarah is doing this the wrong way.
We are in the woods, keeping our powder dry and waiting for the right time.
Patience is a virtue because it's easy to say but hard to do.

For as long as she possibly can. Palin is not playing the Presidential game. She is just "playing" her supporters like a cheap fiddle and her supporters keep "Waiting for Godot".

Don't worry about Palin. Things are going exactly as planned and things are going extremely well.
Palin's focus is not to be elected President. Unlike her fanatical supporters, she is politically savvy and knows that her support is a mile deep but an inch wide. The abysmal box office of "The Undefeated" confirmed that. Once the very limited supply of loyal supporters was tapped out after Week 1 at each theater location, the movie crashed and burned by Week 2.
Palin's current profession is that of a very well paid entertainment celebrity whose main focus is maximizing her personal income and Bristol's income in the business of Reality TV shows, book sales, paid speeches, paid appearances and paid interviews.
Due to the "Equal Time" provision of Section 315 of the Communication Act, TV networks cancel the contracts of employees that are serious Presidential candidates. Yet, Palin and FOX News continue a very cozy relationship that is very lucrative for both of them:
1.) Sarah Palin spends a week here and a week there pretending to run for President. Such a fake campaign does not trigger Section 315.
2.) FOZ News hypes each of her fake campaigns.
3.) At the end of each fake campaign, Palin's loyal supporters and the curious Palin non-supporters then drive the FOX ratings as Palin appears in an "exclusive FOX interview of Sarah Palin" where one FOX employee (Palin) is being paid to be interviewed by another FOX employee that is paid to toss Palin cream puff questions.
4.) Palin cashes her paychecks and FOX News gets their ratings bonanza.
5.) Rinse and repeat for as long as the game keeps generating money for Fox and Palin.
Since Palin "has done none of the groundwork" that other candidates have done for a serious Presidential run (lining up paid staff, lining up paid campaign managers, lining up serious donors, etc.) this repeated charade can only last so long. At that point, Palin will find some noble-sounding excuse not to run, will endorse the strongest candidate in the field whose name is not "Romney" and will then keep trying to milk her celebrity status as long as she possibly can as a "Kingmaker".
You are just thinking about this all wrong. Allow me to help you. Governor Palin was the party’s selection as Vice-Presidential candidate in the last election. She is the leader of the party now. We have an assortment of 12 old washed-up career politicians, losers of their last campaigns, politicians who refuse to resign their current position to make a full-time run, zero-gravitas, ex-democrats and libertarians etc. I wouldn’t want to be associated with anyone in that gang of 12 either.
Open your mind. It is you who is thinking about this the wrong way, and Governor Palin will be successful.
