what a shame, the Palinista’s tore down Perry, now we are almost guaranteed Romney.
Imagine if Palin had only told us this a month ago, Perry’s numbers would of surged to 50%, Bachmann, Santorum, and Cain would of dropped out and then Perry would of surged to 70% and the race would of been over.
By Palin waiting just a few weeks longer she messed up everything.
I don't see it that way. I never thought she would run and I certainly wasn't waiting on her. Yes there were some misguided FReepers that were waiting but they represent a relatively small segment of the voters. She wanted to keep her options open and I don't blame her for waiting. So I don't think she had much of an effect on the nomination battle.
