And xzins, your attempts to get P-Marlowe off the hook with: August/September is what she says in the video link. That fits with both “late summer” and with “late august/early september.” is simply incorrect. It does ot "fit". Early September is not equivalent to the whole month of September. P-Marlow has blustered his way through the discussion berating others and insisting Palin said early September. She did not - AP said it. What remains to be seen is if he's honest enough to admit he was wrong.

Since summer begins about 21 Jun and ends about 21 September, there is no denying that August/Semtember is late summer. June 21-July 21 would be early summer; July 22-Aug 21 would be mid-summer; and Aug 22-September 21 would be late summer.

Also, if you tell me you'll complete my building project in August/September, I would expect early September since YOU brought up August as a a "beginning of the end" point.

Sarah Palin used the word "legally" in her interview. That suggested to me anyway that there was a legal reason August/September was important to her. I don't know. I'm no lawyer.

Perhaps newspapers, though, do know what she's talking about when she says "legally". Maybe that's why they interpreted her to mean mid-September or earlier.

So, I'm going to stand by my comments even though P-Marlowe has changed his comment somewhat. First, late summer is Aug 22-Sep 21 and that frame does include "late Aug-early Sept". Second, and I pointed this out in my earlier post, "legally" is a modifier that still leaves this discussion somewhat open with regard to how others might understand what she "meant."

As the one poster in this discussion who would not vote for her in the primaries I don't get what the big deal is about. PM didn't lie and in so far as he was wrong he corrected that.

Right now the race is between Perry and Romney. We will have a good idea next year if any of the other candidates are going to move up into that group.
