It is 11pm. Still No Palin Announcement
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 11:00 PM |
It’s not us folks. It’s her. From MSNBC’s First Read on September 5th: After making speeches in both Iowa and New Hampshire, two early voting states, the question remains as the holiday weekend draws to a close, will she or won’t she? Sarah Palin has indicated her “drop dead” date for a possible presidential announcement is the end of September. And going all the way | Read More »
It is 10pm. Given their relationship, Greta would be the natural place to announce
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 10:00 PM |
But we know by know that it is not happening today. All day long the Palin supporters have been going absolutely nuts over this. They point out to the various inconsistent statements from Sarah Palin herself that would take a Palinologist to decipher. She said September would be the drop dead date. Now October. But wait, she didn’t say she would announce by the end | Read More »
It is 8pm. Maybe She’ll Do It On O’Reilly
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 08:00 PM |
Still hasn’t happened. I am reminded of this: Consider that of all the candidates, Sarah Palin has the least excuse for her dithering. Unlike Perry, Bachmann, and Paul, Palin hasn’t had a job with official duties for the last two-plus years. All the other quasi-retired or term-limited candidates have long ago declared. Even Jon Huntsman was serving as ambassador to China as recently as April; | Read More »
It’s 7pm. Guess What Hasn’t Happened?

I’d be on radio to talk about it, except I’m on child care duty with a sick wife. But Palin has still not announced.
It’s 6pm. Still No Smoke on the Horizon for Palin 2012
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 06:00 PM |
I’m thinking we need to put out the suicide prevention hotline. There has been no announcement. Again, to quote U.S. for Palin: Sarah Palin however has said she will make an announcement before the deadline to declare by the end of September. It is now September 8th, 2011 and all the media and her supporters have to do is wait till September 30th, 2011. That’s | Read More »

BREAKING NEWS: PALIN SUPPORTERS CLAIM SHE NEVER SAID IT OR MEANT IT OR SOMETHING
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 03:00 PM |
There is movement within the cult. They are mad as hell at us for pointing out Governor Palin set this as her own drop dead date. Palin supporters want us to know that despite Sarah Palin saying that she’d decide by the end of September and despite Sarah Palin fan sites at the beginning of the month saying she’d announce by the end of the | Read More »

UPDATE 1: The Huckabee folks say this is news to them. ————————- Reuters reports Mike Huckabee is reconsidering an entry into the Presidential field.

Al Awlaki Eats A Predator Drone. Succumbs to Heartburn.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 30th at 11:19 AM |
I’m sure Jeff or Streiff will have more on this later, but it is worth pointing out that Al Qaeda terrorist and American citizen Al Awlaki, who the New York Times and NPR both once praised as a bridge builder between the East and West, is dead. He ate a Predator Drone this morning and it left him with more than a wee case of | Read More »
