Sarah Palin Will Not Run for President
ABC News ^ | October 5, 2011 | Polson Kanneth

Sarah Palin will not run for president. She made the announcement in a letter to supporters Wednesday night.

Read Palin’s letter here:

October 5, 2011 Wasilla, Alaska After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.

My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency.

It was a great statement - classy - on the money - and I love her insistence that energy is the first key to our restoration. She will be a huge help to all we believe in in this cycle IMO.

Not going to gloat, just use this as a learning experience. Always trust your brain over you heart.

I hoped too. Too bad for us.

Cain for me, unless I get convinced otherwise.

Been saying for the past year, Sarah Palin is smart enough to understand she should not run for president. And I don't mean that she wouldn't be a great one. Thank you Sarah, the conservative movement needs you more than ever.

Romney?

You think Sarah Palin is that stupid?

The money bet is that she endorses Perry.

Give us a break. There’s no hurry. No reason to rush a decision for another candidate.

I think that will be worse than the gloating, people pestering Palin supporters about who they support now.

I’m hoping she throws her support to Cain. You?

brivette: Romney?

If backstabber Romney is the GOP candidate,
and given that he was behind most of this,
I will vote 3rd party
or write in the name Sarah Palin,
like the rest of America.
