We're not talking about a small handful of die-hard supporters here. Sarah has suddenly got the whole world speculating about this, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the entire political class is losing sleep over it.
The anticipation about Sarah's probable announcement has built into a firestorm of white-knuckled excitement. The Indianola event is going to likely be the most well attended event of its type that we've ever seen, because everyone expects her announcement.
No, Sarah has been busy throwing high quality fuel on this fire, and she's well aware of what the expectation is. She's big enough to know that she's got to stand strong and walk through the door that she herself kicked open, or bear the brunt of the disappointment she'll bring to millions.
She's smart enough to understand that she's kept everyone waiting for as long as she could, and now that she's helped to fuel this much speculation, that the time to end it is now.
As much as she might want to hold out for a more strategically opportune moment to enter the race, she just cancelled that by releasing the "Iowa Passion" video. She's crossed the Rubicon.
Well said ...
Correct. You are right.
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.
