No really Rodney...it no longer matters to me. I’m simply explaining why people are upset and to act like it’s their fault is not accurate. Palin allowed it to go on far too long; as others have posted, she knew in June. Of course it’s her life; now she needs to do with it what she will.
If she knew in June, it was the best-kept secret in the world.
I believe she carefully weighed her options and gave it careful thought up until the last minute.
Why else wait this long?
To “string along” her supporters?
I believe in June she intended to run, but after careful consideration and the drop dead date fast approaching, she made her decision within the last week or so.
It was probably a very difficult decision for her to make as she had so many supporters out there wanting her to run, but I’m sure Palin thought this out carefully before stating she wouldn’t run.
Her poll numbers weren’t that great either and that probably had a say in her decision as well.
While Palin’s support runs deep, it just isn’t wide enough to get her elected and she had to face that fact.
While many here would love to see her in the WH, there are others with more power, such as the MSM, that doesn’t.
Like I said, you can’t fight City Hall, just like you can’t fight an unhinged, rabid media that has a demonstrable hate of Sarah Palin and has proven it over the past 3+ years.
When she gave her acceptance speech, I predicted the MSM would destroy her.
They will likely try to do the same with Cain as having a Black conservative in the WH might be worse to them than having a female conservative in the WH
How will they ever play the race card against the TP if we elect Cain?
Taking away one of their main weapons is something they will fight to avoid from happening.
All they are left with is the class warfare card, as proven by the fawning that they are engaging in over these hippies demanding that their school loans be forgiven and that they should get a bunch of free stuff at the expense of others.
Like I said, Palin is “damaged goods” not in reality, but in perception, and perception often equals reality in the minds of many.
Read this article and the comments below it, keeping in mind this was from September of 2008:

BTW, ABC sliced and diced the Gibson interview to make Palin look bad as the Transcript of the entire interview is far more favorable to her.
