I SO cannot wait until she announces (my impatience is ALL me, has NOTHING to do with Sarah)! Heads will be exploding and we will be a part of history (unlike barrys “non history).

I am SO excited!

"Sarah could wait until like February of next year and would still be fine."

No, she can't. She misses all the primaries. You can't win the nomination without delegates. November is the drop dead date. It's an election, not a coronation.

"Once she announces, she will have so much money, she won’t be able to spend it all."

I have NO idea about the political laws regarding fund raising for a POTUS, but one thing I can guarantee, Sarah will take whatever is left over and somehow give it back to the people.

About 3,000 miles from your house. LOL

I live on the west coast in a little place called Port Angeles, Washington. We live on a mountain out in the country and have for about 30 years.

My eggs are great.... I call them Gator Eggs. ;>)

"She said she would do things differently. Why don't people believe her?"

Because they are idiots and refuse to see their "lying eyes". Plain and simple.

The Iowa caucus is held on February 6, 2012.

With her name recognition and support, Sarah could probably enter the race on February 5 and still blow it out. Not that it would be wise to cut it that close but my point is that there is still plenty of time.

That's the 1 thing I LOVE about FR. Communicating with those who are an entire cross country away, with the same values.

Is Washington state as blue as NY? Heck, is anyone as blue (ugh).

Holding back, keeping the "powder" dry, then a broadside followed with non stop barrage.

She does not need the money just yet, is doing rather well without it. Is on the front page regularly.

Living in their heads rent free.

She can go to a mike and say one sentence and it gets dissected for one week, here and by the LSM.

The day she announces, she gets flooded with more cash than she can use. She knows that.

I am not a presidential advisor or contender, but if I was, I would wait until the competition was well defined, then step in and take all the oxygen in the room, and the wind out of thier sails.

The media scramble will be like watching my flock of chickens trying to catch a hopping grasshopper in the lawn.

It’s definatly blue. My county of about 70,000 folks is mostly red and the eastern side of my state is blue. Seattle is nearly as crazy as San Francisco.

I strong suspect that will be the case.

Agreed, but I doubt that she'll make her supporters and the rest of the country wait that long. I'm guessing that she'll announce sometime in August at the latest.

Her supporters have already been waiting for a yes/no from her since at least this spring. The fact that she hasn't answered that question for so long, indicates that she's decided to run, but that she's operating on some closely held strategy.

She would not hold out on the public for so long, just to bow out after such a lengthy wait. I believe she respects the American public far too much to do such a thing. She would have put an end to the speculation a long time ago, if she had no intentions of running.

Why should Sarah bother to declare early?

She’s got name recognition and her message gets out just fine, thank you. The press can’t wait to cover every syllable she utters or writes, hoping for a fatal gaffe, when in fact they’re giving her all the free press she could ever want. Sarah is running one HELL of a campaign without even declaring! Sweet!

All she needs to do is get her name on all 50 ballots, then the rest is history.

Add me to the list of responders who are waiting for “the word” from Sarah. I’m going all out to save our country. I’m giving more than I should, considering my modest income.

But America is priceless! It’s worth everything to right this ship. I want America back, and a president who is proud of America. I’ll happily write a check for $500, and I’ll pray when I send it, that God has mercy on us and gives us President Sarah Palin.

Now if the opponent to Hussein is Mitt, or one of the other RINOs, not a penny will leave my wallet. I probably won’t even vote for them. It would be the first time I just couldn’t hold my nose and vote for someone like McCain. But you know, I just don’t think I can stand the stupidity of the RNC-GOP anymore. They had their last chance in 2008.

The RNC-GOP better get this through their thick heads,

“NO MORE RINOs! EVER!”

Palin must have a different deadline to declare than Perry, Huntsman, or any other potential candidate. For her, it is ALWAYS too late to run.

Couldn’t find a single word in the compost bidet (post gazette) saying it is too late for Perry to run.

Nope, no bias here. There is no bias in the MSM. None. They love Palin.

My little Village of Huntington is red, but the blues surround us.

"Seattle is nearly as crazy as San Francisco."

Add NYC to that....and it's 5 boroughs!

Long Island used to be a place of "solace" from the blue; however, they have crept in, like any other blood sucking tick.

I need out, but have no where to go (have to have a job lined up before I can move anywhere!).

To: Windflier; All

IMHO...The reason I think Sarah Palin has not announced her run for the President of the USA is because of her faith as a Christian that comes first....Sarah’s christian faith is like many other’s who believe in the *Prophetic Scriptures of the Last Days*

If she believes we are in those *Last Days* spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ I do not think she will run, because those days involve man and his governements and his ways coming to a final halt.....

If Israel signs a Peace Plan with the Palestinians or the U.N goes ahead this September to recognize *Palestine* it’s all over....

Sarah Palin is a great lady, but I think she looks to GOD for guidance, and if GOD says..It’s over....then I don’t think she will run..However who does not want to see the LORD Jesus Christ return to this earth and finally rid the earth of those who have destroyed it in so many ways...

I sure do! :)
