There is some evidence that while waiting for a potential Sarah Palin presidential run, her potential voters have moved on and now support other tea party-backed candidates, such as Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann.
Has Sarah Palin waited too long to announce shes running for president?
(...) So if she does throw her snow machine helmet into the ring, she might start a White House race closer to the back of the pack than the front.
First, lets address the waiting part. The former Alaska governor on Tuesday denied that she intends to announce a White House bid on September 3, (...)

Palin might use the September 3 address to endorse another candidate. She might use it to make it clear she will announce at some point Governor Perry used that same sort of slow-unveiling strategy as he edged into the race.
But the problem is at this point she may be exhausting the patience of potential Palinites.
(snip)
I think Palin could get back a number of voters should she get into the race people who gave up on her running and moved on to someone else. But, I do not think it would put her in a strong enough position to get into first or second place, writes Erickson.
Some other analysts are less negative. In an opinion piece for CNN, political scientist Paul Sracic of Youngstown State University in Ohio writes that Palins on-camera optimism about America seems natural and akin to that of GOP icon Ronald Reagan.
This offers at least the possibility that, despite her current low standing in the polls, she will be able to leap-frog over the more negative sounding Bachmann and Perry, and compete head-to-head with Romney, writes Sracic.

The “day of Reckoning” might be Halloween?
From BuckeyeTexan’s post # 182:
David Brody: Is that short order by the end of September? October?
Sarah Palin: I think that that is a fair timeline for people, because Fall time, they can start getting engaged with different campaigns, but still thinking about it, and really, really desiring to be a participant in the positive change that needs to happen in this country.

Funny - she is grounded in reallity and has no complex that would make her think of herself as riding to the rescue. Whatever she decides, it will be well-thought out and rational.
You're a PDSer and if you continue being ridiculous, yes. I'll tell Jim. He posted that as a warning. Whether you listen or not is your choice and you know the consequences. THEY are obvious. So what will your excuse be? And will YOU cry?
Better tell Jim about this post, too: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2769997/posts (Sarah plays chess while the rest play checkers) and be sure to tell him about all the not-loving-Sarah-enough posters found there.
“Sure is a long winded commentary about somebody who is NOT going to run. I will bet that she will eventually do fund raisers for Perry.”
“I agree about her not running. For the last year or more Ive been saying it and been attacked by some in here for stating what seems pretty obvious to many of us. Outside of her hard core base, Palin is viewed as a bad...”
“While Perry, Romney, and even Ron Paul poll competitively with Obama....
Aug. 11- 12 Rasmussen poll presenting hypothetical match-ups, President Barack Obama would beat her by 17 points, while Romney, Perry, Bachmann and Paul are within striking distance.
..trailing Obama by 21 points in a head-to-head McClatchy-Marist poll earlier this month; and by 14 points in a CNN/Opinion Research poll.”
“Isnt the point of Checkers AND Chess to actually win? So much for that metaphor.”
“I will bet that she will eventually do fund raisers for Perry
There is a lot still up in the air, but if I had to bet, I’d bet that Palin will not enter the race, and that she’ll support Perry.
So I agree with you.”
“Sarah Palin is a lot like coding, debugging, and deploying an ASP.NET website”
“Aaugh!!! the horror! the horror!”
“Ill believe Palin is running when I see it.”
You and your PDS pals had better get used to the smell of ozone...it's coming and coming soon.
That’s fine. If she’s going to run, she’ll get in before the deadlines. I ain’t sweating it.
Yes, I am tattling like a two-year old to the boss. No, I’m not particularly proud of it
________________________________________
ROFLMAO!! Of course you’re proud of it and you do it more than anyone else at FR. All ones needs to do is look at your past posts and see how often you ping JR and the mods. You not be proud of it but you sure try to tattle more than any 1st grader. You fool only the fools. What you are and why you are here is obvious to most. Keep up the brown nosing.....it’s buying you time.
I don’t think she’s exhausted it.
But I wish she had announced right on top of Perry.
It’s dragging out a bit ...relative to the race’s unfolding
and no...I WAS THERE...everyone knew Reagan was running in 1979...there was ZERO speculation...he had folks in the field from his loss in 1976 on
not the same thing
in Palin’s case...we are not sure..and these mixed signals just don’t do it for me..I don’t understand ..why hesitate?
She sure acts like someone interested but this is not some timing event. You announce. You fight like hell. And you stick it out.
The way this cycle is going I just don’t think she can try to mimic Reagan who had less an uphill battle than she does.
You need a math lesson.
As for the rest of your post ... meh!
Don’t force me to prove it. Your past posts speak for themselves. Interesting how similar your home page is to curiosity’s. Defending the Obongo birth certificate. You may fool some, but most are onto you. You’re good at brown nosing but not so good at hiding your real intentions.
With 300,000 registered freepers, you'll be hard-pressed to prove your claim. But go for it. In fact, take a cut short cut and ask Jim and the mods themselves if I ping them more than any other freeper. I'm sure they can quickly add it up. If you're correct, I'll acknowledge it.
I don’t ask Jim and the mods to do my work for me, I’ll leave that up to you. I did and do my own homework, you probably had your parent’s do yours.
Now see, that’s where you are wrong. I will simply prove how much you do it, present it, then the ball is in your court to prove me wrong. My tattle evidence on you will be overwhelming then your chance for rebuttal. Maybe one day if I have extra time I will do it. Most Freepers have eyes, they already know you are King of the tattlers.
Tex: You need a math lesson.
mojitojoe: Dont force me to prove it.
Tex: With 300,000 registered freepers, you'll be hard-pressed to prove your claim. But go for it.

Just like a birther - make a claim without presenting hard facts and then expect the defense to disprove your theory.

That won't prove your original claim that I tattle more than any other FReeper.
Maybe one day if I have extra time I will do it.
FAIL.
Go for it. And no, Buckeye Texan did not ping us to this.
Congratulations, you’re accomplishing what you came here to do. It is sad though, FR is one of the last real conservative refurges on the Internet, or was. Folks like you are very successful in change don’tchaknow.
The summer of ‘08 was a significant period for the change artisans joining FR and posting in platoon fashion.
And what exactly is that?
