I believe Sarah was going to run in 2012, but then pulled out at the last minute.
I am (completely) ready to give her the benefit of the doubt this time.
If she backs out again I am done. But Romney was a definite problem. With his resources, and the party fighting Palin at the same time, I think she recognized she would have lost last time.
I’m not sure, she will decide the same way this time.
Nonsense. Romney was about as popular amongst the grass roots, activist base (aka primary voters) as diarrhea. 2012 had one of the weakest fields of Republican primary candidates in our lifetime, which is the only reason Romney won the nomination. The "lead" changed after almost every debate and we even had a candidate, Herman Cain, running a glorified book tour (who laughably led the pack for awhile). If Palin didn't think she could beat out that anemic competition then, there is no reason to believe she could win out in what will be a stronger field this time around.
No one can be 100% sure what the future holds, but I think your odds of winning Powerball are higher than Palin actually running for President of the United States.
If she backs out again I am done. But Romney was a definite problem. With his resources, and the party fighting Palin at the same time, I think she recognized she would have lost last time.
I would have welcomed some of that honesty from her. The woman is great but forthright she was not. I feel burned.
