Bingo!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Palin is not an ordinary candidate, and the ordinary leaders of the GOP do no want her, because they want the status quo.

In order to win the nomination, she has to outwit and outmaneuver them.

The longer she delays announcing her candidacy, the longer she keeps the ruling-class RINOs, state-controlled media, DemocRAT and Republican opponents, etc. in complete and total disarray.

Why should she give up her strategic advantage?

To make it "fair" for the RINOs and 'Rats?

Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.

On August 13, 2011, Rick Perry announced his candidacy for President of the United States,

All in all, a well-written, evenhanded article. Thanks for posting it.

Ronald Reagan didn’t officially announce until November 11, 1979”

That was back in the days when the NH primary was in late February. Times have changed since then, and rather dramatically.

What is the date of the NH primary now? First week of January? (I know it was like January 6 in 2010...not sure what it is this year, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t much later than that, if at all).

The way is now clear...

John Bolton has given notice that he isn’t running.

I'd forgive her if she waits until someone put her name in nomination at the convention!

Rank Fear!

By both the Left, and the GOP “Crony Capitalist” Establishment!

Ann’s still trying to get Christie in. It’s not too late.

Interesting article.

This would be LBJ/Bill Moyers type stuff. You know those other Texans whose names must not be spoken...

NH primary - Tuesday 24 January 2012 (tentative date)

[ConservativeDude]

ok...so if you subtract a month of off that Reagan date (the primary was at the end of February, now it is at the end of January), then the apples to apples comparison would be, give or take, October 10 or so.

That strikes me as about right for a drop dead deadline.

(unless she plans on going indy, which might well be the case...it isn’t talked about much here...but, that approach would be consistent with her “late” start, and her criticisms of the GOP [and her supporters’ criticisms of the gop])

Run Sarah, Run!

Please show me one real Palin supporter's criticism of the Republican Party in any substantial way. And by that I don't mean GOP candidates such as Juan McCain, Milt Romney, Rick Perry or Linseed Grahamnesty.
