Is there any other conclusion after watching the Iowa video?
It is warm and inviting and part of the reintroduction that began with the Steve Bannon movie.
I have long thought that Governor Palin has been honestly trying to figure out the best use of the energy and attention — and anger! — that swirls around the name Sarah Palin.
And with this video, I think she just shared which way she is leaning.
An oldie but a goodie. Too cute!
Are you serial ?
I've recently been diagnosed with PBD -- Palin Bipolar Disorder. Woman makes me nuts...LOL. I've dealt with it by just deciding to let her do her thing and quit worrying. :)
She's running, that's all I know.
Many hated Reagan too! I was young and believed the idiots... but learned pretty quickly. Not able to go anywhere or do anything with my life under DEM-wit policies, suddenly have a JOB, MONEY and able to raise a family and buy a home under REAGAN-O-MICS!!!! Pretty much a clear difference to me.
Everyone is jumping on Sarah’s band wagon!
CHECK OUT RIGHTSCOOP.....LOL.
Huge post and her Iowa video. He’s voting for her and endorsing her.
I didn’t watch the video, yet. Yes, she’s always being asked the question if she will run so she knows people are anxious but she does keeps answering it. So any speculation when it is - is one’s own and if they are disappointed - that’s their own, also.
Nor do I think she is taunting supporters but I believe she is watching the candidates and giving that enough time to see what she needs to see. She is not taking this lightly and for that alone she is worthy of respect. I’m for giving her all the time she needs and I certainly wouldn’t give her pressure to announce when it ‘looks like all things are in place’.
Once she announces, the next 9 years start and they are no longer hers. As we know, she’s an over-the-top worker and it will be nose to the grindstone from here on out. And then considering the mess barry has already made of this country and with almost 1.5 yrs left - who knows what will face her. That’s why I’m ALL for giving her whatever time she needs and will never be disappointed if she doesn’t announce when everyone expects/wants it.
From Wikipedia:
"The OODA loop (for observe, orient, decide, and act) is a concept originally applied to the combat operations process, often at the strategic level in military operations. It is now also often applied to understand commercial operations and learning processes. The concept was developed by military strategist and USAF Colonel John Boyd."
"The OODA loop has become an important concept in both business and military strategy. According to Boyd, decision-making occurs in a recurring cycle of observe-orient-decide-act. An entity (whether an individual or an organization) that can process this cycle quickly, observing and reacting to unfolding events more rapidly than an opponent, can thereby "get inside" the opponent's decision cycle and gain the advantage."
The best part will be the apologies from all the Freepers who have sworn that Sarah would never run because she was just in tis for the money and because of her ego.
we need a special “apologies” thread. Y’all know who you are!
Thank you! We’re in the OODA loop!
GO SARAH!
I used to be a fan, but now I just thinks she will drive people to vote against her rather than people voting for Obama. I like her as a person, but she I think Michelle is the better of the 2 imo
We do know this: she's playing the media like the world's largest violin ... like they've pathetically earned and so much deserve.
YAY! I love the thought of omelette-covered lamestream faces in the morning ... ;)
Those posters will turn into the *she can’t win* trolls.
Aha! The man who left Herman Cain. That starts to make sense of all this. This event is indeed no accident.
Then go to Alaska and announce it on her friend’s radio show to signify that she does NOT intend to play by the normal election conventions.
Aye, oh wise one, but she'd better make that announcement darn near simultaneously with her Indianola speech. It's not just her enemies who are expecting the big announcement. Her supporters are too. You ought to see Facebook. It's just exploding with talk about it.
I wisecracked earlier that she could call Mark and Bob from the podium, and tell them then. Now wouldn't that be a hoot?
Given that Sarah is an advanced student of Sun Tzu, she'll devise a way to pull this off and create the precise effect she wants to, both on her enemies, and her supporters.
Lets assume she does announce. Fly them down, rig the stage for transmission, and invite them out to “interview her live” Then announce.
Watch media explode in anger.
Win/win.
;)

LOL! That makes two of us!
I may not be able to predict what she's going to do, but I've seen her vanquish her opposition so many times now, that I simply trust in her uncanny political instincts, and just try to pay attention.
It's like watching any master at work. They make it look easy, but you'd better not try it at home .. LOL
Another thought. The video is filled with Iowan people. I have heard it said that the folks in Iowa like candidates who mix it up with the people. Well, she not only mixed it up with them, she put them in the movies. They’re gonna love her.
She said the other day that when she announces her decision, NO ONE will be able to miss it. I don't see a radio show accomplishing that. They are sure to understand. I was expecting more of an historical venue, not usurping or copying another's venue, but some place wherein a significant message is portrayed. Kinda keeping with the Founders and Reagan inspiration she indulged in while "touring".
I thought when someone mentioned Labor day being the 3rd that with unemployment what it is, that may work... But Labor day is actually the 5th. I saw something different transpiring..., but alas, my tea leaves are all cracked and crumbly this far into summer. Very difficult to read.
Frankly, I don't care where she announces, just that she does.
