Meh....I’m not gonna get on board that train. She had her chance, she demurred. Cheerleader - yes...candidate - NO.
We have to retake this country; it will require ruthlessness, cunning and connivance. She is not the one.
But not until after she had run a long drawn out, will-I-or-won't-I, tease campaign. Palin did a lot of damage to conservatives by pulling that stunt. Her actions delayed, for many months, conservatives from trying to unite behind one of the candidates. Too many of the grassroots were waiting for her to announce and used that time to tear down any potential opposition to her. Not saying that Perry would have won the nomination, but the Palin forces worked tirelessly to tear him apart because many thought he was her chief competitor.
Anyway, it's done and doesn't matter now. Palin is a TV commentator and ocassional realityTV personality. She does a good job on Fox, gets paid a bundle, and I expect her to continue in that line of work. Her days as a politician are likely long behind he now.
