Give. It. Up.
Months went by and she did not announce. Other candidates
entered then later dropped out. She did not take part in any debates—but then again, why should she? She was not a candidate. As the deadlines approached she finally had to come out and say it: Not running.
Sarah fans won’t hear of it. No doubt they will soon have an Occupy Wasilla movement, setting up outside her house with
signs, playing bongos, chanting...She is The One. She will be crowned Madam President and will deliver her victory speech and we will all be mesmerized.
“I’m sorry, but I said I wouldn’t run...”
The crowds all try to grab hold of her: “NO! YOU MUST
RUN! IT IS IMPORTANT! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!”
Hope! Change! Sarah! (Why do I have this feeling of...
deja vu?)
Oh, and she quit her job as governor (and yes she had her reasons) but...quitters never win.
Maybe someday she will announce and maybe she could win,
who knows. For this year, though, forget it.
