Ambivalent about this because I really, really like Sarah Palin. But I also think that America has had way more than enough of Presidents with limited life, executive and business experience. Her time will come I hope but now is not her time.

Never thought Palin would run in 2012. She has a good life and doesn’t need the BS right now.
2016 or 2020... that might be different.

Now we will have endless threads on who she should endorse. Just leave the spotlight SP, and let people focus on something productive, and not what you are going to say next. You are not that important. You would have lost anyway.

Maybe she wasn’t sure...although frankly, I never thought she’d run. But maybe she wanted to get her ideas out and then step back - or maybe she wants to be a kingmaker.
Cain is the big winner here. If this is true I suspect this might propel him to the top for good. I hope so. I can’t deny that I’m disappointed, but Cain is a good man, perfect spoiler for Obama, and right on the issues.
I hope everyone respects her decision. She is truly thinking about her country. I am sure she prayed about this without ceasing. I trust her judgment, therefore I assume this will work out for America. Isn’t this really what matters? Sarah’s voice will not be diminished. Hold fast Palinistas.

I’m very disappointed that she’s not running for President, but I have to say - Cain is my second choice. I’d go for that. Bless Sarah and Todd and their entire family. I’m sure this was not an easy decision to make.

You got that right—he will get the lions share of the Palin hold-outs. Hate to see her go but I respect her decision—she can now retire to peaceful obscurity.
Like Nixon said—”You won't have me to kick around anymore.”

America will be a 3rd World banana republic by 2016. Cain will likely win, and be as bad as Obama due to not being up to the job. He shoots from the hip instead of admitting that he doesn't know the answer, just like he did on "Right Of Return" in the Chris Wallace interview.
His opinion of himself vastly exceeds the reality.
We're done. Stick a fork in it. I can't believe Palin would do this to America.
