I hope Sarah doesn’t announce until the very last legally possible minute. It’s hilarious what she’s doing to the pundits and most candidates by waiting. They are either going nuts or suffocating from a lack of oxygen. If it were up to me, which it’s not, I would say she get in January 1st 2012. Look, Sarah is going to do very well with her new style of campaign and I only hope all you detractors out there have some good meds, or a lot of booze. I worry about you I really do.
Well even better than that, there’s a theory running around that Rove’s little “hard count to draw her offside” gambit revolves around a candidate as yet not in the race, a secret dark horse. But if she goes in last minute, his whole strategy collapses. Now yes, it’s a highly speculative theory (the dark horse is supposedly Jeb Bush, not even imaginable, IMHO), and there may be nothing to it, but I can definitely see SaraCUda intentionally putting Rove in a squeeze play like that. Despite what her detractors here say, I believe she is skilled at knowing where her advantages are and how best to use them, and as she’s a free agent and calling her own plays, she is radically unpredictable to her opponents. That’s a good thing.
