Were you sniggering when then former Governor Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy for the 1980 elections on November 13, 1979?

Hey I remember Reagan announcing very well, and I was a feverent supporter. Back in 1979, the dynamics of presidental elections is much much different than now. The process now is much more complicated on the strategic and execution aspects where organization and preplanning is critical to success. In 1980 it cost $29.2 Million to run a cammpaign. In 2012 that cost is expected to reach $2 Billion. A factor of over 60X !!!! Apples and Oranges my FRiend.
But I tell ya what, let's give Sarah the benefit of the doubt. If she doesn't declare by then (November 13th) would you Palinites mind hanging it up? Because that is probably the last benchmark date that would make a run practical. And I even doubt that.

Last time the phrase was Reagan announced on “Labor Day,” and you were all but claiming she’d announce then. So we’re moving the goal posts again? To when, November 5, 2012?
