Could Sarah Palin Get in the Race This Week? - Politics News - ABC News Radio

(WASHINGTON) — This is the week Sarah Palin will tell the world her intentions whether or not she’ll run for president in 2012 — or at least that’s what she indicated to ABC News’ Jake Tapper at the Iowa State Fair last month, telling him September was “practically speaking…kind of a drop-dead timeline” when it comes to “jumping in the ring.” With only five days left in the month, that means this week is the “drop-dead timeline,” right? Not exactly. Since her early August trip to Iowa, she’s backed off on her self-imposed date, but as the days, debates, and campaign events creep by and the state filing deadlines loom, the window may be closing.
