It really is hers for the asking, although she does have to stick with her strategy of timing her announcement for just the right moment.
The toughest part is the waiting, and I know that she's sensitive to that. She has said so. Palin supporters may be chomping at the bit to get out of the gate, but it's still too early for her to make the call.
There's little to be gained by her jumping in before people have had a chance to chew on Perry's record for a while. If she got in this week, all of the attention would be drawn away from examining his record, and Sarah would start getting all of the hard looks (despite the fact that she's already the most vetted politician of the last 100 years).
No, she's got to hold off until the conditions are right. It's not so much about the calendar, but more about the layout of the playing field. That said, she can only give the playing field so much time to position itself to her maximum advantage. Filing dates are approaching.
Personally, I think she just ended her "One Nation" tour and went home to Alaska, to hunker down and spend her last precious weeks of freedom preparing for her entry into the race.
