Not sure she is running yet.
I can say that I have never heard a speech like this ever and I am 54 . This speech was more than superb. I can also say that she has been voice trained. No more shrill moments. No more sounding like a hysterical female. I did not measure the duration of this speech but it must have been arounf 40 minutes and it was absolutely spellbinding.
She played the network news masterfully. They all thought she would announce and she did not and they carried her speech all the way to the end. I watched her on CNN and the anchor at the end said that she “ wished Sarah would annpunce because this is torture.”
The speech was masterful. Sarah was in total control. There was no doubt who was boss.
She will choose the time and place. It is still early.
Far better even than the speech, was the autographs afterward - 45 minutes of Palin signing autographs.
2:30 onward in the following video:

That’s hour 2, minute 30. Watch it full screen, this is quality television.
Obama is toast. So may be Perry, frankly. Never saw such natural political skill before
Again hour 2 minute 30:
(45 minutes of autograph signing)

The shrillness needs to be toned down, but it was the best political speech I have heard in a long while. Best stump speech I have ever heard.
