Sarah should have announced earlier. She would have had a sense of "can I win" as soon as Perry announced.

The way it is, she doesn't know how many are in solid for Perry. Sorry, I think it was a dumb way to play it.....IF SHE IS IN.....WHICH I THINK NOT.....

Remember, she has an out...if no one "formidable" comes along, then I will run.

Hate to break it to all you loyal Sarah fans....But once a quiter, always a quiter.

I have nothing against her. Nice lady with nice ideals...."LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER WOMEN". Presidential??

Pay attention to what the media is doing here!

NO ONE officially associated with the event has said Palin will announce. The media is setting it up for when she doesn’t announce on Sept. 3rd, that she’s a tease, not committed, not serious, etc. etc. etc.

The truth is people involved in the event are stating that if you’re planning on going Sept 3 just for the big announcement, you’ll probably leave disappointed.

It will be a great day. But not for the reason the media is disingenuously creating

We saw how fast Perry knocked Mitt down to #2, and Bachmann down to #3. That will happen again,if Palin were to throw her hat in. Those with concerns about Perry would welcome that news. And Mitt bumped down to a number 3 or 4 position, how sweet will that be?

Three years to the day she inflamed and scalded, The Rats with a COOL speech, besmirching their mongrel pet, Which till this VERY day they are still Howling and rubbing their butts across, The carpet when they hear her name!

I just don’t see her doing it.

She has much to lose, and not a lot to gain.

As much as she is beloved around here, the MSM has made her such a caricature of herself that she will never, ever be able to get past the first few primaries.

And, in the open primaries the Dems will flock to the polls—just to get her the nomination. And Obama will limp through the election.

The Republicans will lose the White House, we will lose the best opportunity to take the Senate, and I bet we lose the House.

The Independents will NOT vote for Sarah. Period.

Sarah is smart...sharp and savvy. I question the ‘good’ of announcing on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend...an off day in the news cycle. I truly believe Palin will run (and win!) but my guess is her announcement will be the day AFTER Barry drops his load of a ‘jobs bill thingy.’

Palin needs to ATTACK Duh Won head on issue by issue...and the (true) Queen will checkmate Dear Leader once his ‘plan’ (focusing like TWO lasers!!!) is made known.

UBetcha2012!

Well, if she doesn't announce soon, she is going to lose her edge. We have Bachmann, Cain, and Santorum in the conservative corner ... Romney, Huntsman, and Johnson in the RINO corner ... Ron Paul standing in his own corner because no one is quite like Ron Paul ... and Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich hanging out in the "words verses actions, can I trust them, I don't know" corner. Part of me would love to see Palin jump in and upset the apple cart herself. Part of me would love to see Palin become an advocate for the conservative corner and direct her many, many supporters toward advancing the conservative cause through a candidate already on the field. Either way I hope she makes a decision soon because she is holding back folks in the wings from diving in one way or the other.

I think this story might be an indirect way of letting us know that the Left Stream Media is preparing their vitriolic, ad hominem attack machine for war.

In 2008 it was three times as worse than what any other VP or even Prez candidate has received in living memory. Now take that level of unjustified, visceral, and irrational hatred by the Left and take up another three or more notches if and when she declares her run for Prez.

I think it is going to be sooooooo bad that the Secret Service will be hiring extra help plus putting in lots and lots of OT just to keep up with the threats to her, her family’s and her extended family’s lives. I think the Leftist wackos will even make an actual attempt on her life before the national election. That’s how bad I think it is going to be.

Then there will be the protests between the Left and the Right and I think they are going to get F-U-G-L-Y to put it mildly. Just her presence alone leaves the Left in an apoplectic conniption fit.

The the Conservatives best be ready for wild ride to next November!

She should wait until after November or early January.

Let some of poseurs dive and exit.

Y’all are missing the boat here. Jimmy “rent is too damn high” McMillan is already in the race. All others should just step aside. Now.

If you do not vote your beliefs, then you are a loser, regardless of who wins.

I think she gets in. At some point you’ve got to fish or cut bait and I have the sense that Sarah is ready to fish. Does it mean she gets the nomination, or the 2012 election? By no means. However it she’s going to grab the brass ring she’s got to get in there and change the dynamic and make something happen. If she stays on the sideline waiting for the planets to come into perfect alignment, they might never align.

(Guess that’s a lot of mixing of metaphors but you get the idea :) )

She ends up being quite a bit better general than our enemies and their accomodators would like. Well, isn’t that a shame. Sifted like flour by million dollar investigations that only discovered she was more honorable and hard working than we ever imagined. The smear and lie brigade only can confirm that her character ends up being titanium. I know that just puts a dagger in some people’s hearts. Grabbing at straws like whether painting the flag on her bus is disgracing it, or whether “I am” printed on a T-shirt she wore was a codified swipe at Judeo-Christianity. So desperately pathetic.

Ya”ll better stock up on antacids when she’s sworn in. You’re going to miss one hell of a party.
