Decision day is rapidly approaching for Sarah Palin, and for the first time the former Alaska governor has indicated a time frame for when she will make a decision about whether to run for president.

"You know, August and September, you do have to start laying out a plan if you are to be one to throw your hat in the ring, so that's basically the time frame," Palin told Sean Hannity during an appearance Wednesday night on Fox News.

Palin has her supporters...but there is a subset of Palin supporters who are almost delusional about it.

That super enthusiasm is a great asset.

Take another Sharp Right Turn and you will not misinterpret it in such a negative manner.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket. I’ve had enough of the games. As we say in the South, “ sh*t or get off the pot.” Maybe we the people need to wake up and realize we have to stop counting on one person, or even a handful to save our country. It’s gonna take us.

ROFLOL, if Perry runs his VP will be, guess who, Jeb Bush!!!!! ,

You just sent chills up my spine. The last thing this Republic needs is another Socialist-lite Bush running. The Bushes have done great damage to our Republic with their love of big government.

Ti Ming is everything.

Palin is brilliant in that area.

Ti Ming and Sun Tzu!

With that combo she's guaranteed a land slide!

She’s turning into Fred Thompson at the speed of light.

Unlike Fred, if Palin gets in, she will campaign like she really wants to win.

Announcement on Labor Day. Perfect given the unemployment numbers.

I believe she will announce sometime before Sept 12th, the date of the Tea Party Express/CNN Presidential Debate in Tampa.

Cross referencing previous threads about the debate and National Bus Tour leading up to it.

"...No way would she be second place on the ticket again and Perry makes a nice back-up for those who might still be a bit squeamish about her being prez. She will announce and and make a very grand entrance IMHO".

I completely agree......and certainly hope so....

...as of today, I support Bachmann. IF Palin enters, I will reconsider.

You and a legion of others.

I agree. She said that if a strong candidate doesn’t enter the race, then she’ll offer herself up in the name of service. She has a close professional relationship with Perry. He has strong conservative credentials and she campaigned for him. I think she’ll wait to see if he declares.

I’ll lose all interest in her if she doesn’t announce at this point. She’s taken it this far to where she has played with people too much where if she doesn’t announce soon she can forget having the influence anymore. If she’s not going to run she should have announced it already. I think past August is too much and she can stay away.

Your tagline reads "Palin 2012" but you'll abandon support of her if she waits until September to announce? Boy, that's loyal support.

Given this inconsistency between your post and your stated allegiance and your recent sign-up date, I'm sensing a troll.

"Despite what some people believe, she is not a seat of the pants operator."

When necessary, she does that quite well.

But as you mention, it's not her general MO.

Wrong. The Bushes dislike Perry.

It's the ones that are already in the race that are playing with us.

And loved by the media, it is the MSM that encourages Conservative candidates to declare early so they can work to destroy them, and of course praise those that they think will lose the general election.

It is a new precedent that popped up in the last Presidential election cycle to get in early.

LOL she ain't going anywhere, she fights like a girl!

Much to the chagrin of the concern trolls and PDSers.

Not to mention the leftists and the media, which is a branch of the DNC.

Palin is no one’s stalking horse. Bachmann probably is - for Romney.

Not this crap again. She's beating the stuffing out of Romney in Iowa and greatly damaging. Come up with someone more original.

If Perry does declare, it's looking more likely that Palin might endorse and campaign for him.

I hope not. That would be a big mistake.
