Palin has always won, and the reason for that is she only enters if she is reasonably sure she can win. When Cain was in the lower pack, and Perry was up, she probably thought it was possible for her to win and was waiting to see how it worked out.

However with the rise of Cain, she knew that she would only divide the conservative votes between Cain and herself. That would have delivered the nomination to Romney.

So, that is probably part of her decision not to run for President.

The other reason is, if you read her missive carefully, she was concerned about threats to her and her family’s life. She referred to “innocence” of “childhood” lost. I read that as her being afraid her kids would lose their Mom and /or Dad to an assassination.

Perot had a nighttime visit of “ninjas” that made him decide to back out for the sake of his grand children. This seems to be the rule rather than the exception for those challenging the status quo. Sarah couldn’t even get that author creep from living next door. That implies a lack of control of her security and environment. It was intended to intimidate her and her family.

Cain essentially offered to be a VP a few days ago, and that may have been an overture to Palin. Perhaps she could return the favor with Cain and be well positioned for the next election. A Veep is not as much of a target as a President.

There is also the fat ugly cow and misogynous male votes that Palin seemed to never be able to win over. Kelda points out that Thatcher and Hillary are not very sexually attractive types.

Hogwash...every fellow knuckledragger like myself down here in Dixie who would usually not vote for a woman was crazy about Palin..she was the toast of deer camp for her looks and ideas.

I think she opted out for fear of more McGinniss stuff..her tone changed instantly almost and the Greta interview...difficult to watch proved that to me.... true allegations or not...she did not want to deal with it

I thought for sure she would run in the summer but I got worried by end of August..of course to utter that here meant I was Satan and not a true Palin fan to the nuts

never seen such a wasted opportunity...the planets were completely aligned for her

I have also seen a pattern of Women like Ann Coulter,Laura Ingraham,and Liz Twotta that have no husband and no children, and are jealous and envious of SP because she is the complete package. These so-called conservative women made career and life choices, like putting off marriage, and family to scratch and claw their way to what they feel is the pinnacle. Life's poor choices like dating Olbermann and Bill Maher, and other hateful radicals. Now when they are way past prime or way over the hill they want Husbands and Children,but it is too late. Especially for an italian woman to never marry or have children,it is a disgrace. Some of these gals are the most intolerant and bitchy women I have ever seen that were not radical Fems. SP makes them jealous and envious because she has achieved great things and high office,has a Manly Man supportive Hubby,beautiful children and she is beautiful and very attractive to men. They are basically old maids.

There are also women that do not want any woman to make them look like lazy slobs, and underachievers. They also will never support a woman for President because they are mysteriously only open to Men doing those kind of jobs. They are the biggest problem out there today. SP set the bar too high and they want to sit on their fat butts and let the man do all the achieving. They are very pathetic, and then wonder why nobody gives a crap what they have to say.
