I agree. It will now be very frustrating for us if she doesn’t announce anything.
Sarah's too shrewd to endanger her sure path to the White House by purposely letting the air out of our sails. She needs us, and we need her. She's our captain, and she will not let us down.
Of all people, she knows how much is riding on what she says on September 3rd. She knows that she can't just breeze through her speech without tackling the question head on. The pat answer, "I'm still considering it" will not fly in Indianola, and she knows it.
If she's looking at the field, and has determined that she's going to need a few more weeks for things to settle exactly into place, she's going to have to give us one hell of an explanation. What that could possibly be, I have no earthly idea. Factually, it probably doesn't matter what she would say, the damage would be done.
I'm sure that Sarah is looking at this, and has already realized that events have moved into such a position that she must announce on the 3rd, then shift into a whole new battle strategy. I would put my money on the idea that she's already plotting out what the opposition is going to do, and is planning her moves threes steps ahead of them now.
