Is Sarah Palin going to announce she's running for president on September 3?

Sarah Palin will run for president, and will announce her candidacy sometime around Labor Day – perhaps September 3, when she’s scheduled to address a big Tea Party event in Iowa.

That’s what former Bush administration political advisor and all-around GOP smart guy Karl Rove predicts, anyway. In an appearance on Fox News Saturday he said he believes ex-Alaska governor Palin is going to run, in part because of a slick campaign-style video about her trip to the Iowa State Fair released by her PAC last week, and in part because of where she’s popping up.

Palin “has a schedule next week that looks like that of a candidate, not a celebrity,” said Rove.

Rove's not Nostradamus – he's been wrong about stuff before. Still, it's possible he's right, and that months – nay, years – of feverish media speculation are about to end. Will Palin finally say once and for all that she’s in it to win it – the brass ring of the presidency, that is?

Could be. At the least, it looks like she is fast approaching a make-or-break date, when she will either have to announce, or announce that she is not going to announce a run, lest her coyness exhaust the patience of her faithful.....

What I love is that guys like this think her "followers" number in the hundreds or maybe thousands, whereas You and I know for a fact that millions is much more accurate.

[RefudiateObama2012]

She won’t be declaring on 9/3.

Are you on the staff at her PAC?

I think the establishment pubbies and RATs know what Sarah will bring IF WHEN she runs...right now they're just 'whistling past the cemetery' in hope she doesn't run!

[Nateman]

Intrade has Sarah at 8.8% chance of winning the Republican nomination and 5% chance of winning the White House. Might be a good time to buy!

Is this the same Rove that assured us the '06 midterms were in the bag for the GOP?

[Michael Barnes]

The troll is strong with this one..

[Sea Parrot]

Yep, and so what. I remember In-Trade had her way, way, way down for VP pick in 08. Then suddenly within hours, after certain airplane tail numbers were repeatedly reported from AK, AZ, and then OH, and she sky rocketed over the top.

[Bigtigermike]

The only thing Sarah said was that she won’t be a candidate when she returns to IA on Sept 3 — she didn’t say that she won’t be a candidate when she leaves; who knows when she will do it but I wouldn’t rule out Sept 3 entirely

If she does then her name can be inserted between Moore and Paul

The “Ins”

Bachmann .. Cain .. Gringrich .. Greenspon
Huntsman .. Johnson .. Krager .. Martin
McCotter .. McMillan .. Miller .. Moore
Paul .. Perry .. Roemer .. Romney
Santorum .. Wuensche

I don't doubt she will announce but I don't think it will be at the Sept. 3rd event. It's a Tea Party event and she wouldn't want to steal the spotlight.

With Baraq looking more like a sure loser everyday, the rush is on.

The R nominee will likely be the next POTUS and have solid majorities in Congress.

When did Ronald Reagan announce again?

[Cheetahcat]

Getting exciting LOL.

[Roamin53]

I just think she should get in soon....the waters are right and many of her fans (myself included) think she’s going to need time to undo and overcome the damage that the lying MSM has done. But I believe she can do it!!

[Jeff Head]

When she drew 20K-30K as a vp candidate in 2008. When she drew even more and had a profound impact on the 2010 elections...the libs, MSM, left, socialists, and RINOs are in for a surprise in 2012.

Click on the link below and scroll down to see those crowds.

I believe she will double and treble those numbers in 2012 as a presidential candidate.

I believe she is going to announce on 9/3...and I welcome her into the race and will work as hard as I can to help her win.

SARAH IN 2012 - FOR AMERICA, FOR LIBERTY!

If you so desire, you can get the bumper sticker here

MORE IMPORTANTLY....cleanin’em out left & right.

[nhwingut]

How does Rove get tagged as a guru. He is the man responsible for the 2006 Repub wipeout, along with Bush leaving office with the lowest ratings in history.

And the “architect” barely beat the pathetic JohnKerry with unemployment at 5%. Not to mention losing the pop vote for Algore.

Please.

[comebacknewt]

I still have a feeling she won't run.

Her negatives are through the roof. Not to say she can't overcome them, but it would be an extremely tough uphill climb.

My guess is she ultimately remains in her role as "king maker" and continues to be a major thorn in Obammy's side.
