When asked if she has a candidate she would like to endorse in the 2012 GOP field, Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) said she hasn't made up her mind as of now, and that it wouldn't matter. Palin said her endorsement would amount to a "hill of a beans."
"I think today, my personal endorsement, probably doesn't amount to a hill of beans today, at this point in the race," Palin said on FOX News' "Hannity" program.
Palin said later in the race perhaps her endorsement may have more weight, but admitted at this moment it doesn't matter. Referring to herself as a pundit, Palin said voters have to do their homework and shouldn't rely on the endorsement.
"I am leaning toward the candidate who can best articulate he being the antithesis of Barack Obama. He understanding what it takes to reform our country and not allow it to be fundamentally transformed away from the exceptionalism that is America. But, he who can promise to because he has experience in doing so," Palin said when asked what kind of candidate she would endorse. Transcript below....

I am saying the people I know and talk politics with just think she is SO over that she no longer is of any interest to them. The door is shut and she is the one who shut it. She is only on a few peoples minds anymore.

"I don't think freepers realize how small her following is out in the real world. I liked her and could have voted for her but I don't know anyone outside of freepers who felt that way."
Yeah right... there is onyx, myself and 17 other Americans that still like her and then there is you and the rest of the world huh?!

I think it's hilarious how ashamed you must be, having to pick on little schoolgirls now that Palin has dropped out. You can't get you female-punching fix vicariously any more. I feel bad for the gradeschoolers in your neighborhood.
You big tough guy... LMAO!!!!

As pretty much a political has-been and present non-entity, I’d say she is spot on with her comment.
To: LibLieSlayer
She’s is young, maybe she will come back in.

She is only on a few peoples minds anymore.I get that. That's why I said it depends on who you surround yourself with. I know many in the Republican Party of San Diego and the OCGOP (Republican Party of Orange County) who believe there is no better representative of the conservative cause than Sarah Palin. I don't doubt there are many who disagree but within the crowd I surround myself with they love her.

I think you are correct... and while I am no Perry fan I can assure you... right now... he looks much better than newt in every way... and whether he has reversed himself on being an illegal supporter or not... newt doubled down and Perry apologized for his asinine comments and has changed his position. He is not a globull warming idiot like newt and he is firm on other fiscal issues... newt and romney go together like “peas and carrots”. I could hold my nose and vote for Perry if that is all that I have to choose from... but romney and newt will never see my vote for any reason... ever.

I am one of the FReepers that you posted about... I still believe in Sarah... and nothing anyone has said about her has changed my support for her in any way.

She never left anything but the possibility of her entering the race. Maybe she will run again... if we have a Republic and elections in 5 years. That is looking like a BIG if.

That tells me you are surrounded by true Conservatives that actually believe in our ideology... not just use it during election times.

No, you don’t. Neither do I. Only FReepers like her. Don’t you read?

I suspect she’ll be out campaigning for the nominee and for Congressional candidates, collecting chits. She might take a Cabinet job.
In a few years, once the kids are out of the house (mostly), the picture may look different to her.

"She should go make Todd a sandwich or something." You must be hungary. Sometimes my stomach takes over and brings out the beast in me. I bet you're hungary for a polar bear sandwitch made with Sarah's home made bread.
Click my heals three times. I wish I was home in Alaska!
Click! Click! Click!

Sarah's home made bread. She makes bread? She doesn't quit halfway through?
Doesn't she tease folks with the possibility of bread and then bail out right before baking time?
I see inconsistency.
