Gains momentum for what? She HAD momentum, but like the best candidate in 2008, Fred Thompson, she didn't want to run. Somehow, the best GOP candidates either don't want to run or have a fatal flaw that ends up killing their candidacy.
To an extent, I agree with you.
However to another, I do not agree. Palin has two young daughters to raise right now.
I’m quite sure it was a touch call for her, but she put her family first. I did not agree, but I totally agree her family comes first for her, and I totally respect that.
Her two young daughters will be four full years older next time. If Palin really wants to run, this will be the race coming up.
Stay tuned.
What “momentum”? The GOPe in 2012 picked Romney as their guy and sewed up the funding, pundits and state/county GOP machines. Romney’s business savvy was put into use to run a formidable primary machine (general election was another story).
Do you remember the RNC rules 12/16 debacle? Nuff said.
The deck was stacked and I saw this first hand. Palin was wise to avoid the trap. Sadly the GOP has to get it’s teeth kick in before the rank-and-file wise up. We’re already seeing this in the states.
As much as I was disappointed in her saying no in 2012, I could see that running for POTUS takes years of laying ground work. It’s more than just emotion, you have to back it up with much, much more.

Has ANYONE researched hoe Mitt's mormonism influenced the abstention of the white voter? We are told that they didn't vote - why?
