Better yet she got Mark Levin to tell his listeners a month or so earlier that he thought that she was still going to announce a run and they believed it, and then she eventually appeared on his show to announce that she really wasn't going to.
Of course Levin appeared disappointed but fully supportive of her after here appearing to dupe him. After all she appeared on his show to 'explain it' (OH those death threats)
He gave no indication that he knew that she was never planning on running (2012). He just praised her,
Was he clueless or just dishonest?
Sarah would be crucified in an election - in fact the GOP would see that she had NO money for a campaign. So why should she run? Does anyone think donations from ordinary hard working people like us are going to get her into the WH? Besides, the Alinsy-ing of Sarah worked really well - the targeting has turned her into a joke for too many people who don’t realize all the effort the left put into this just showed how threatened they felt.
We’ve seen what the RINO GOP does to those who don’t toe the NWO liberal “government is your master, not your servant” line. They call in the rats on robo calls and entice them to vote for the RINO against the real conservative. They betray the voters who just gave them a landslide.
So tell me, why should Sarah run? To endure the pain to herself and her family? To be called a quitter - even by SOME conservatives? There isn’t even a consensus here at FR - where you’d expect to find her unwavering support.
It’s easy for us to say she should be out there - in the arena - getting absolutely hammered like a gladiator while the rest of us sit at our computers ...effectively holding up scores like the judges on Dancing with the Stars.
I agree with Sarah on almost everything and I think I can understand why she didn’t run but if she changed her mind she’d have my enthusiastic vote.
What I found interesting at the time with her going on Levin’s show to say she wasn’t running, was how non-chalant Rush took the whole thing, when pressed by a caller on Rush’s show the next day airing. Rush acted like it was all so inconsequential, almost like a “Palin who?” At the time, I wondered if Rush was a bit put out with Palin for making the announcement on Levin’s show instead of Rush’s show. Aside from her first speech after being picked by McCain and her excellent speech at the convention, for the more part, Palin has left me feeling quite underwhelmed. Anyway, all “water under the bridge, now” as they say.
