I don’t buy it. If she were goingh to annonce, ashe’d certainly want to do so in a more splashy wat than on a dinky radio show. (No offense meant to the show.) but wouldn’t she at least pick Rusd Limbaugh’/s show, if not calling yogether a full media scrum of all the Network and cable news channels?

Bob and Mark Show ?

Seems kind of a lame venue to announce a Presidential bid.

But, she PROMISED to announce on that dinky thing. She's in a box with that. To do otherwise would besmirch the perfection that IS Sarah Palin.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Quite the contrary.

My understanding has been, Palin long ago stated if she does announce, it will be on that very show.

Could be the day...

[DGHoodini]

Do you really doubt if she were to call up all the news media, foreign and domestic, and say she was making a big announcement in 24 hrs at (X) place, that every single one of them wouldn’t have a news team there at the ready? Ahead of time, to get the best position they could?

[Netizen]

If I recall correctly, she had told this show that if she ran she would announce it on their show. Or that they would be the the first to know type thing. She might be getting ready to announce that she isn’t running.

[Sarah-bot]

Dude she gave her binding word! It is Bob and Mark or Bust.

[LibLieSlayer]

Unlike any of the other candidates... or anyone in DC for that fact... Sarah promised to announce on their show first... and she keeps her word. She does not lie and she does not go back on promises... IF she announces... it will happen on their show first.

Remember this about Sarah Palin, she's got the media running to her with every move she makes. Doesn't matter if she announces on a "dinky" radio show or if she announces on national television in prime time. She will generate a media frenzy all the same. Also, I think she might be taking a bit of personal satisfaction in making her announcement on a local radio show as opposed to sucking up to the media elite and doing it on their terms.

Others question her making the announcement on a Friday as it leads into the weekend and her announcement might be "old news" by Monday morning. People, this campaign has over a year left to go and this campaign is going to be in the daily news cycle for many months to come! Once the campaign is in full swing, nobody is going to remember that Palin made her announcement on a Friday in the middle of September as opposed to a Monday or Tuesday.

I think a pre-weekend, low-key announcement is smart for Palin. She doesn't need a big splash of an announcement. Everybody already knows who she is. Let the shock of the announcement settle over the weekend and she can hit the ground running next week.

There's quite a bit MORE information about this already posted on the OTHER thread:

WHERE and HOW will Sarah Palin declare that she is running?
[Now that we finally know WHEN...]

[nuvista]

Many times, a prospective candidate will announce that they’re going to announce. Bachmann did this - remember, she made a statement at some event (maybe it was one of the early debates), then had a “formal” announcement ceremony/rally a few days later.
