No one forced anyone to buy Palin’s books, her biopic DVD, contribute to her campaign or even support her as she never said she was running for POTUS
She always said she was undecided.
As I said earlier, after her bus tour and her biopic didn’t bump up her ratings, she realized that she didn’t have a chance to win her party’s nomination, thus decided not to run.
I’m sure she struggled with the decision, but she doesn’t owe anyone one of us anything.
She is putting her family ahead of her political aspirations, which is far more admirable than someone like Bill Clinton, who put the Country thru an 18 month circus while AQ planned 9-11 and was AWOL from his job as he was in court or on TV, slamming his fist on the podium and pointing his finger at us and lecturing and lying to us in a “how dare you” tone of voice for accusing him of what turned out to be true.
I bought Palin’s first book not because I thought she was going to run for POTUS, I bought it because she is a fascinating person and there were many late nights when I couldn’t put the book down and stayed up way too late on work nights.
Palin’s responsibility is for her child, her children, her family and herself.
Perhaps 3 years of being under the media microscope and the non-stop, 3 year media attack took a toll on her and she decided that she didn’t need to put herself and her family thru even worse, as the lies and smears by the left and the MSM for the past 3 years would look like compliments in comparison.
The MSM set out to destroy her. What they did to her was criminal.
Even a month after her acceptance speech, the MSM had already turned perception into reality, as evidenced by this article from Sept 2008, along with the readers comments.
Not to mention, ABC sliced and diced the interview to make Palin look inept:

After Palin gave her acceptance speech, I predicted on this forum that the MSM would attack her worse than they did GWB, and I was right.
Do you think that they would ever allow Sarah Palin to win the WH?
They would use lies and smears and anything they could in order to make her look worse than Obama, in order to make Obama look like a reasonable alternative to Palin if she ran in 2012
Like I said, what they have done to her on a near-daily basis for the past 3 years would look like compliments in comparison to what they would do to her if she were the GOP nominee running against Obama.
You can’t fight City Hall, and you can’t fight 90% of the MSM that is hellbent on destroying you personally and politically as well as financially and any other way they can.
I would have like to see her run, but the MSM wouldn’t allow her to win, and she might not have even won the nomination of her own party.
Funny, I though she was "Undefeated".
Guess it was a typo or something.
