Had Palin gotten into this race, I would have been one of her biggest supporters. However, I cannot support a draft-Sarah movement. Dragging a reluctant candidate into a campaign has never appealed to me. If Palin didn't have the "fire-in-the-belly" to throw her hat in the ring this go-around, despite all the support she had, what is there to be gained with a draft movement?

Maybe Palin will be inclined to run in 2016 or 2020, but barring extraordinary circumstances, it's time to turn out the lights for Palin with respect to 2012 and hope that the best non-Romney gets the nomination. It's sad to say this because I had such high hopes for Palin and 2012.

I agree and folks I know some out there do really respect Sarah and I could see myself possibly voting for her if she
runs in the future but this year it’s out of the question apparently and some (on that C4P site) seem convinced it CAN happen still and regard her the same way the Obama-nuts looked at him. The ones who proclaimed him the Messiah,
the ones who had schoolkids singing “We’re gonna spread happiness/ We’re gonna spread freedom/ Obama’s gonna change it, Obama’s gonna lead. We’re gonna change it..and re-arrange it”—anyway, similar idol-worship to that.

Draft Palin: Tastes great AND less filling. The more we saw she wasn’t entering the race, she wasn’t taking part in debates etc., it was clear she wouldn’t be running. Yet some on here were calling her Madame President (um, she hadn’t even DECLARED yet?) and were shocked and saddened when she finally said, no, it wouldn’t happen. It was getting late and there were no indications her run would
be happening—and they were shocked?
