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. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law....

I’m sad, sad that a fine candidate for President of the
United States was savaged with tooth and claw, her children
the target of vicious rumor, her office of Governor
beset with lawsuit after lawsuit to the point she could
not continue to do her job.
I am disappointed, I believe she has what it takes but
who can blame her after the handling she got.
She will still be a voice and a force for conservativism
and one that will play a large part in our coming history.

G0 SARAH!
Cain/Palin2012?

It could happen, but the first step is to see that Cain gets the nod. :)

Two words:

Herman Cain

It's him or the GOP elite's choice, Mittens, and so I choose 'Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness' over RomneyCare's oxymoronic Liberal Conservatism any day.

Indeed. I suspected she wouldn’t run.

Thanks to Sarah for all her hard work. Shame she couldn’t drag McCain’s sorry carcass across the finish line.

Horrific news for our country.

Sarah was our only hope to save the nation, the world, the Constitution and the American family.

As I said in another tread:

People who are miserable today at this news: trust me, this was ordained the day she resigned the Alaskan governorship, and I was despondent the day that happened for this very reason.

I hate the scum that launched baseless lawsuits against her. Hate. From the bottom of my heart.

No time for gloating, that is despicable for anyone to do it.

I know how much many of you wanted Palin to run, and I do understand how it is to believe in someone so much.

Prayers for your comfort.
