Sadly, I agree with Rove on this. For this voter, I’d really like to know if she is a candidate in 2012 or not. Can’t think of a reason why she is not letting the voters know one way or another. For me, this approach has gotten tiresome and I wonder how she would deal with a national emergency. No attacks please—I do not dislike her personally; in fact to me she is a very remarkable woman. I believe others feel the same way. IMHO

It just dawned on me that Sarah might have a darn good strategy going on.

The libs NEED to undermine announced candidates and they'd love to get their claws into Sarah as soon as possible. Yet, they are effectively muzzled by Sarah's unknown intentions.

IOW, she's driving them even crazier than they already are and I find that quite amusing.

What you said makes sense as a strategy. I’m afraid we’re beyond the strategizing stage re the media, etc. Somebody’s got to give voice to us out here in Hooterville.

Exactly, but it is Rove and his ilk that this strategy is driving insane. Thus, the attacks, the snarkiness, the futile attempts to goad the Palin camp in conforming to Rove’s timetable, none of which is working, is a joy to watch.

Courtesy of another Freeper, sorry I didn’t save the name:

Mrs. Palin is remaining quiet....she is waiting....she knows her battle plan....she knows her timing.....she is learning....studying the opposition....guarding the “cubs”....waiting quietly with an occasional “roar” (like the comments at the Iowa State Fair).....reconnoitering the challengers from within and the enemY from without.....studying weaknesses....building and conserving her strength....endlessly practicing....reading...honing her skills.....waiting.....waiting.....
This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing. Candidates in...candidates out....candidates winning....candidates losing.....candidates saying silly things.....candidates saying cogent, insightful things....
It is a very very long way to next November. There is no need to rush. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, “Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” and General Patton, “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”
When she arrives, you can count on total war. She has learned how to fight. She does not spin; she does not back away from principles; she means exactly what she says...and says exactly what she means. She builds a base of support because of who and what she is....not because of who or what she panders to.
Patience.....patience....
Wait for it!
And keep the faith....
