I knew this would happen. If she did not announce by Labor Day there would be mass stories and editorials written about how she is not running. They forget Ronald Reagan waited until November.
Yup. The press is still trying to control the election. It’s amazing how many buy into it.
There was no 24 hour news cycle and no internet when Reagan ran in 1980. Reagan jumped in when people started paying attention to the upcoming primaries. Palin has lost a lot of the momentum she was building. People are starting to gel around Perry and Bachmann and are starting to look at Palin's delay and inability to even articulate some kind of message that she is intending to run as a sign of indecisiveness and a sign that she isn't that interested in the job.
I've moved on. Right now Perry seems to me to be the best overall choice. At least he's committed to running and committed to winning. Palin is just committed to keeping everyone in the dark.
