From what I've been told by hardcore Sarah Palin supporters the reason for the delay in announcing is to minimize having to debate against Perry and the others in the group. The less time she's actually in the race the less chance of committing any gaffes and being pounded by the media.
I can understand this approach however it also minimizes time to improve yourself in the debates in preparation to go against Obama himself. It also denies the American people the exposure to get to test drive you before deciding to vote for you in the primary.
Not sure how this strategy will work out in the primaries but in the general election it was devastating for Al Gore who tried to minimize the number of debates with George W Bush.
Get real! Do you expect us to believe that you’ve talked to “hard core” Palin supporters who are afraid she will make mistakes and she is holding back to minimize that fact? I can tell you that real Sarah backers are confident in her ability to crush the competition. If we weren’t we would be backing someone else.
She knows she can't win. If she ran and lost the MSM wouldn't even give her the time of day.
By NOT running whe can keep everybody guessing another 4 to 8 years...and would still be young.
If Perry wins, I think she will have a role in his administration...and she needs the experience if she ever wants to run for POTUS.
FACT: She was gov of Alaska for 2 yers. The population of Alaska was about 700,000...and about 66 % of them were white.
San Antonio, TX has about 1,500,000...and SA isn't the largest city in TX.
