Palin: Wait a While Longer (Sun Tzu: You choose the battlefield, not your opponent)
Washington WIre ^ | 09/29/2011 | Danny Yadron

In case you were wondering, Sarah Palin has no plans to announce tomorrow whether she’ll run for president .

“This is a serious decision, and I’ve engaged in serious deliberations. So within the next 24 hours don’t look for me to make a decision,” she said, according to excerpts of an interview on Fox Business Network set to air tonight.

Art of War. Sarah gets it. The Left is at war with us.

She’s soooooo much smarter than any of the MSM.

Sorry, journalist boobs, but you folks just aren’t the sharpest knives anywhere - let alone in the drawer.

My gawd, look at the cretin you supported in this last election.

I hope she waits till late November to Announce she’s running. I know the Liberals will have fits just having to wait.

She’s smart to wait, and maybe even smarter to sit it out altogether.

Being that would be after the deadline to be on the ballots in Iowa, SC, NH, and FL, yeah, that would be brilliant strategery.

At this stage waiting helps her. Just as long as she goes all in if she does run. I liked Fred Thompson's message but he didn't put his heart into it. If she runs, I think we are in for a treat.

This may well be the strategy. Announce the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The news pundit cycle is on holiday. It's generally a positive optomistic time.

Next thing you know, she's got the "mo" in January.

Same logic applies to Christie.

Sit it out altogether? Why?

It’s been very smart of her to wait. Very, very smart. For so many reasons. Saved on wasteful campaign expenditures, allowed other candidates to be vetted, and avoided the unbalanced media dynamic that would have formed around her to the detriment of the race. But, it is now getting to be crunch time... We’ll need to hear in the next week or two.

On second thought, if she skips all the primaries before Super Tuesday, she can’t be the loser and Romney can’t clinch. The media wont give him full credit and he will be forced to compete in Super Tuesday one in one with Palin. Very risky strategy, but maybe a better one than spilling the anti Romney vote with Cain, Perry, Newt, and Bachmann and letting Romney sweep the primaries and media with 20%the of the vote.

I’m starting to feel she’s just stringing people along.

All these potential candidates should have taken the tact of saying “I’m not in the race until I’m in. I’m not ruling out entering the race until it’s over.”

Leave it at that.

"that would be after the deadline to be on the ballots"

Hard for you to believe but some would rather fight for and with a warrior leader than a stinking pol.

Rotten George Washington didn't even attempt to take over the Royal Palace. You must think he was pretty stupid.

That is a fascinating idea. If you do not have the delegates by
convention time, all bets are off. A “raucous caucus” would ensue.

My bet is she's put a LOT more thought into this than you have.

She is still far more of a known quantity than any of the other GOP candidates. There is no need for her to get in until the very last minute. By waiting she lets them receive a small measure of the anal exam she has already been subjected to.

She's known for a long time when she is going to pull the trigger.

That will be quite obvious when the time comes.

I’ll make two bets:

One, Sarah has in fact read Sun Tzu.

Two, Sarah actually understands what Sun Tzu had to say.

Outcome? Stand by.
