It sounds contrive because she already made her decision to run......her daughter,Bristol pretty much spilled the beans earlier this summer by saying that she already made a decision. Palin just wasn’t ready to say so to the public but at her own time and place. Her Staff as far back as January said that they could see her possibly enter the race around October, so a late entry was presumptuously already planned and it’s around that time as well
I hope you are right.
Sarah herself said she would make a decision in September in order to release her supporters to support another candidate.
Did she not?
