It is not indecisive to say that one will make known a decision within a certain timeframe. That is what Palin is doi

Well the deadline is tommorrow and she has stated she will miss her own self-imposed deadline because she hasn't made up her mind. :-) That's indecisive and there is no getting around it. That is unless you don't believe what she says and think she is lying which I don't

So she'll be indecisive if she doesn't announce her decision by tomorrow, but not if she does it in, say, a week or so? Come on, now. She'll be lying? Really? That's straining a bit to make a point.

She told Jake Tapper on 8/13 that September represented "a drop dead time line" to consider jumping in the ring. She told other reporters that same day, CBN's David Brody among them, that "September,October" represented a time frame to make known her intentions to her followers. To CNN's Peter Hamby (link here) also on 8/13 she said, she said "August/September" timeframe is important", but then went on to say, "After another month or two goes by, they need to know who it is that they can jump behind. The end of September, Palin then said was "still a possibility for a timetable." I could go on and on with these. She's been more ambiguous and tentative than you think.

When one looks at ther full breadth of the transcripts of interviews with Palin on this subject, one sees that she's not really made a consistent and clear-cut "End of September I'll let the world know my decision" statement.

She's got wiggle room. And should she make it clear she wants to extend her announcement until the end of October, are you really going to say she's a liar? A lie is asserting something to be true that you know is false. Missing, or extending, a deadline one hoped or planned to make is not a lie.

plain talk is a Perry supporter, so he/she desperately needs to persuade anyone who will listen that somehow Palin a) imposed a September 30 deadline on announcing and so b) isn’t running.
