She sacrificed herself to protect the best conservative in the race.

Since Sarah Palin announced that she was not going to run for president, there has been a certain degree of bitterness on the part of some FReepers. She was bilking us, some said, just trying to hawk her books. She has betrayed us, said others, she never wanted to run anyway. I admit that at first I was one of them.
However, take a look at the attention Herman Cain suddenly been getting. These articles resulted from a quick google search and go back six days...

...None of it is complementary. Meanwhile Lawrence O’Donnell over at MSNBC lectures Cain on the 'black experience' and Al Sharpton questions whether Cain is "authentically black."
Sarah Palin was taking the flak for Cain, I believe. She knew that as soon as she was no longer a consideration, the media's guns would turn on the next true conservative; Cain. Palin stayed to cover Cain, giving him as long as possible to stay out of the harsh, biased media spotlight.
She sacrificed herself to protect the best conservative in the race. To give us a chance to elect Herman Cain rather than Mitt ObomneyCare or La-raza Rick.
Lets honor her sacrifice. Lets raise Cain!
She’s a private citizen. Her base wasn’t fair weather conservatives - so no one cares how you supposedly flipped.
She sure did!
Get as much money as possible making us rubes thinking she is running, then split with the cash!
She had a good plan for herself, it just didn’t include us!
I watched the interview. She called him Herb.
She also didn’t say “shackley”, but the media quoted her as saying that, and they laughed, because they claimed it wasn’t a real word.
She said, “shackling”, which is a REAL WORD.
Hey, newbie or retread with PDS - Your post shows the result of the lack of moisture in TX. And parrot talk isn’t independent.
I thought she was saying “Herm” not Herb.
“...I also noticed that she did not bail until Cain was a clear FRONT runner...”
I have no doubt that Sarah was seriously considering a run and kept weighing a number of factors: the polls, the rest of the GOP field, the mud throwing she and her family would endure, and her overall chances. The scales finally tipped to not running. I respect her decision but like many I was disappointed.
Oh, you think she’s a con artist??
Did you watch The Undefeated? I did last night and hate hate hate what was done to a decent citizen and successful governor for simply bucking the entrenched corrupt bastards - on both sides of the aisle.
It especially makes me sick when people who ought to be defending her side with the enemy.
They were never going to let her run or win - no matter what it took.
I can only conclude that most of this field has a plan.
Oh PLEASE. It’s getting embarrassing now. Tornadoes don’t have this much spin!
She had a family when she was governor, she had a family when she was on the VP ticket. NOW a family stops her?
Don’t you hear yourself? It’s like the Obama people raising him to godhood. We are sickened by deification on that side- this is the same!!
Now she’s sacrificial!! Pathetic! Just raise her to sainthood, start a religion, build a church and apply for exempt status.
Oh- and where are the campaign donation refunds??
How did you get to see it?
Those posters who have trashed Sarah in anyway should be banned from this site, IMO. They are the godless scum of the earth as evil used them to spew their venom on this conservative site - God, Family, Country
Personnal attacks get you nowhere.
If you read the post, I stated it was MY OPINION.
I guess we will see who is right when Palin comes out with her endorsement.
And for you info... I was an avid supporter of Sarah in 2008.
You no nothing about me.
Guys, guys...hello????
Can you please stop the Palin snipes and utter bull-plop.
If you haven’t realized it, it’s gonna take a team effort to ditch “Plastic man” Romney (aka: tan in a can) then take of the Obama machine.
Pissing off voter blocks ain’t gonna fly. Honey works better than vinigar. And you’re gonna need her help when it comes to house and senate races.
CAIN 2012
Delivering victory in 2012!!!
Obama can keep the tip, then split !!!
No. She called him “Herb Cain.” She called him “Herb”. She said it more than once. I re-watched it and looked carefully, to make sure.
"True conservative"?
You mean a "true conservative" that supported Mitt Romney in 2008?
You mean a "true conservative" that still supports Mitt Romney in 2011?
This Mitt Romney?

All Herman Cain wants to do is try to compete with Sarah Palin on the paid speraking circuit and in book sales while leaving the GOP nomination to his past and present favorite, Mitt Romney.
The facts are right there in your face.
1.) All Cain attacks are directed at Perry.
2.) No Cain attacks are directed at Romney.
3.) Cain has stated that he will not support Perry even against Marxist Obama
4.) Cain has said that he is willing to support Romney.
5.) During October, Cain is focusing on selling books on a national book tour instead of focusing on the logistical "Beans & Bullets" needed to win the Primary Wars that will start in the near future.
6.) Cain's ultimate goal is to become the next conservative premier speaking tour draw and the next Huckabee on FOX News while leaving the GOP nomination to Romney.
