"She’s been in serious prayers with her family, but I think she’s made her decision and that now she’s just planning the date of her announcement, which means that our prayers have been answered: she’s running!"

I agree. I have felt in my heart for some time that she decided a while ago. Her announcement is a strategic move that requires timing and is not from any indecision.

Onyx, Thanks for fighting like a wildcat on these threads to defend Sarah. You and Jim were out with both fists tonight. I can only post when I can so I appreciate seeing both of you here defending the front lines.

Regards, Mr. Sol.

Thank you. You said that in about a hundred words less than it took me to explain it.

Political pros understand what Palin is doing, and so do savvy and well-informed voters. She's gaining a lot of mileage from all of the speculation without lifting a finger right now. Entering the race at this (still) early date would cause that to cease, and she would begin having to expend energy in an official campaign, which at this moment in time, would likely not benefit her chances of winning the nomination at all.

Conserving hers and her supporters' resources until such time as it does benefit her to enter the race, is just smart politics. Actually, it's brilliant.
