I didn’t watch the video, yet.

Just watched it - didn't realize it was clips from the original interview Sean did w/SARAH that I had already watched. The excitement and responses from the people were great.

What we all know, she is one of us and fully equipped with leadership skills, accomplishments and a deep love for our country that no one can dispute and that leads to THE PERFECT CANDIDATE to RESTORE AMERICA!

[Yaelle]

I agree. It will now be very frustrating for us if she doesn’t announce anything.

[STARWISE]

I wisecracked earlier that she could call Mark and Bob from the podium, and tell them then. Now wouldn’t that be a hoot?

~~~~~~

Nothing wrong with that.

MB has no accomplishments unless you know differently and can list them.

[Windflier]

...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.

You could have spoken from my own heart in the balance of your post, but I still consider that Sarah helped blow the speculation about her announcement up into a firestorm with her recent activity. I honestly believe that she's much too big a person to let her supporters own any disappointment (over her not announcing) by themselves. It's just not the way she's strung.

If she feels that the greater good will be served by her stepping into the race later than popularly anticipated, I'm confident that she'll figure out a way to keep everyone's spirits high, while leaving her competition (and enemies) guessing.

Many hated Reagan too!
I was young and believed the idiots... but learned pretty quickly.

I believed....I was (quicky :) vindicated.....
(begining) BHO: *smile* HOPE & CHANGE
(now) BHO: *dismay* hope & spare change
BHO: "I'm doing; what I said, I was going to do"
MY HOPE & YOU CHANGE....Destroy America

[PALIN SMITH]

I'm going to Iowa on Sept 3

[STARWISE]

Like you said, and I agree, today’s video release was the marker, or I guess it could be a pre-marker.

Timing is a delicate thing.

Something triggered the release today. Wonder what it was ....

Either way, I’d say Stephen Bannon’s in on it all.

[Windflier]

Those posters will turn into the *she can’t win* trolls.

And after she wins the nomination, they'll turn into the "she can't beat Obama" trolls.

After eight years of stellar performance in the Oval Office, they'll still be grumbling, "Yeah, well she could have done that better!", or some such. They're absolutely hopeless.

The Tea Party organization doing this is a new group started by the man that was involved with the Herman Cain campaign until he left Cain

So you mean pump it up deliberately so as to disappoint is his strategy? Or am I reading you wrong?

[WVNan]

Happy trip Chris. I listened to your call earlier. Good job. Take pictures and share.

[Windflier]

Aha! The man who left Herman Cain. That starts to make sense of all this. This event is indeed no accident.

Nan, help me out here. I saw that comment upthread, and I didn't get the significance of it. Expand a bit on your thinking?

[antceecee]

I truly hope that if she is nominated.... those who post “she can’t beat Obama” will be zotted... truly.

[WVNan]

I take it to mean the guy talked to Sarah and decided to switch candidates. He can see the handwriting on the wall.

[Shelayne]

Didn’t she also say something along the lines that candidates should not ignore Iowa, that it is where candidates are launched or something like that? I believe this was in an interview. She made it clear that Iowa was the kickoff to presidential aspirations, I thought. This was well before the Ames Straw Poll.

I just remembered this when talking to my hubby. Now it really has me thinking....

I wish I could remember her exact words.

[antceecee]

I wish FR had a BUMP button to support a comment....

[WVNan]

Somehow I think this guy saw that Cain is not going anywhere and he went to the candidate who is going to the White House.

[Windflier]

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.

I like it!

Anybody see Mark and Bob making plans to 'take a little trip' around September 1st or 2nd, we're gonna know what's up.

[presently no screen name]

she stated that this event was the “Inaugural” event.

Didn't know that - tell us more - did Greta question her on that?
