I hope the John Fund piece was deliberate misinformation ... it would be brilliant to announce on your own terms while the MSM is asleep at the switch off on their Labor Day weekend holiday

.

[FightforFreedomCA]

yeah, not sure where she’s going re: here plans based on these comments. Keeps us guessing...

[going hot]

This speech IS her announcement.

[DesertRhino]

“Can you imagine what that would do for our economy???? WOW!”

That would unleash this nations economy,,,

[Yaelle]

I could not imagine writing a better speech, and usually I can. (I have a good imagination.)

Announce soon, pleeeeeze!

[rintense]

"You will be demonized. They will mock you. They will tell you to go to hell..."

But she basically just told THEM to go to helL!!!!

[fatima]

She sounds great.Only hearing bits and pieces cause I’m really busy here.

[kristinn]

And the speech has exceeded the high bar set by her staff preview leaks to the media. A rarity these days.

[exit82]

No we won’t say You go to hell to detractors.....LOL!!!

[reasonisfaith]

“Hold our tongue, keep it classy”

Governor Palin, your command is my duty!

[PapaBear3625]

She is talking like a serious candidate! SHE HAS A PLATFORM! GO SARAH!

So declare your candidacy and take your place in the debates already, Sarah.

[Michael Barnes]

She is literally taking ALLLLLL of D.C. to task. Every stinking one of the "political class"..

Like another poster said, I don't want this speech to end...

[Yaelle]

“they’ll make things up, demonize you, tell you to go to hell. But we will keep it classy.”

[tomkat]

".. we won't say, no YOU go to hell !"

LMAO II

[Marathoner]

Ha, loved the dig at that b##ch Maxine Waters!She won’t say it, but I will: Go TO HELL Maxine!

[hoagy62]

“But we won’y say, ‘No, YOU go to Hell’...”

...but we DAMN sure will be thinking it...

[hocndoc]

I complimented the Governor. Be nice.

[Kickass Conservative]

I think she is her own Speech Writer.

It doesn't sound like someone else wrote it, unlike Obama’s Books.

[Son House]

Who says you can’t campaign first announce later.

Same guy who bought the buses and said he wasn't campaigning?

[Yaelle]

“when we have logic and truth on our side, we win!”
