Yes, my patience is nearly run out. I understand that she will make her decision in her time.
Nevertheless, I am ready to make my decision now, and have been ready for some time.
The field presented does not currently include Sarah Palin, unfortunately.
If I go with another candidate, I will stay with them and dance with the one who brung me, not dump them when my first choice enters the hall.
Also, taking a hard look at the situation, I’m starting to think she really means it when she says she hasn’t decided yet, and that has implications. Or if she doesn’t mean it, that has other implications.
Best scenario, when she finally “decides,” it’ll be to get in, and then she wins the nomination and THEN I get behind her again.
But right now...I’m a former Fredhead who has learned to dislike treading water waiting for the preferred ship.
Then your mind is made up and principle doesn't matter.
My mind is made up too, and it won't be changing, so I don't have to worry about who I am going to support.
If I had my way she would announce already, but whether she does or not it won't change my vote. See how simple that was?
Wow! What happens if your preferred candidate implodes or something? What if he/she decides to leave the race for whatever reason? Besides Palin and maybe Romney who else has been thoroughly vetted (well the press/dem version of a prostrate exam) yet? There’s a lot of time to learn things both pro and con about most of the candidates running. I’m not that desperate that I have to choose anybody in the field now, especially since only political junkies are paying attention right now. Palin is playing it pretty smart. People already know her name. The press follow her around like groupies. Unlike her last campaign (which she had absolutely no control over) everywhere she goes they stick a mike in her face. They don’t have time to doctor or distort her words (there’s too many people around her for that to happen anyway). She’s getting the same mileage as everyone else and hasn’t even used a dime of campaign funds. Most politically savage person I’ve ever seen.
