If thinks do not change, then I bet the big dogs of conservative talk radio will endorse Cain.
The media,press, elite and the inside the Beltway type want Romeny because just like McCain it's his turn to lose.
I think Palin had family considerations which were her overwhelming reasons for not running. People forget that.
However, she was also, imho, outmaneuvered by the Establishment and the Romney people when they moved Florida up. That was bad for the Party, but good for Romney, which is all that the Romney people care about.
Romney cares about what’s good for Romney. Always has, always will.
And I think Palin decided to take a pass this cycle and build up her street cred among the Regular Republicans out in the state parties, which she kind of lost after 2010, when she got a lot of Tea Party Republicans elected. She probably decided that if she wants to be President, she has to work on changing the Party from within while the GOP has its Viking funeral and loses with Mittens.
And I don’t blame Palin one bit in that regard.
Best,
Chris
