The only candidate, that can beat Obama, and the closest to tea party conservative principals is cain
I think shhe will wait for the rest of the debates and announce before the first caucus.
I thought she might endorse Perry but he is sinking.
Recent polls have him losing to Obama.
I can understand that. But I would also argue that Cain is going to need big money to overcome the current presumption or Romney's inevitablity. The longer she waits, the less money Cain gets. And as for Perry, it is time for him to give it up. It was short-lived and although it will probably be embarrassing for him, the welfare of the nation is at stake. He is unelectable and IMHO always has been.
Sarah can have the influence she desires, but the time is short. With all the primaries scrambling to move themselves up, who knows, we could see primaries before Thanksgiving.
