I disagree. The longer she delays, the MORE she advances the cause of Rino candidate Mitt Romney.

First, it divides the conservative vote.

Second, it freezes the conservative voter so that he/she has trouble moving forward.

First, it divides the conservative vote.

The whole reason it is divided is because there is a vacuum of actual conservatives.

Once Sarah declares, the race unifies around her.

Sarah's time for announcing her candidacy has now passed. All she can do is damage the conservative/base of the party and elevate Romney's chances.
