“Why did Reagan wait so long?”
Reagan ran in 1976 and was a known candidate for 1980 for years prior to his official announcement. In truth, Reagan took years running for President.
And Sarah hasn’t? No eriously, Reagan didn’t officially announce until “late”, and there was great speculation as to whether he would run. So thats not an answer.
Look, I know from working inside a campaign that there are many details that affect a wide variety of decisions. Not the least of which are personal decisions we the people will not know about until the Memoir’s come out years later.
Just because Sarah isn’t in the race yet, does not mean that she isn’t running for President in 2012. It means she hasn’t announced, and until at least one filing deadline passes, you cannot assume that she isn’t going to run. Well you can make the assumption if you want to, but you stand a pretty good chance of being wrong - given the nature of assumptions....
