I’ve never been comfortable with Palin’s decision not to run this time. Was she told to stay out? For who’s benefit? Obama’s?

___________________________________________

A) If she stayed out because she was told to and the purpose was to benefit obama then who needs her? (I don't buy your theory)

B) Look at the timing. She bailed within weeks of the McGinniss book and right after threatening to sue him over it. If she had sued then every single aspect of what he wrote would have been open to public scrutiny in court and both she and Todd would have been answering questions about their marriage and business life under oath.

I think the answer is B), in fact, I think that’s pretty clear.

I think that being Mr. Sarah Palin turned into something different than it was prior to 2008. I think Todd sucked it up and was pretty much good to go (speculation), but the book was like a kick in the you-know-where and he backed away a little.

Remember the National Enquirer ran a Palin divorce lawyer story the week the book came out? Yes, I know it was the Enquirer, but their political coverage has been AT LEAST as reliable as the LSM.

Anyway, if Sarah Palin elevated her family and her marriage above her ambition in the third and fourth weeks of September 2011, I would regard that as a plus.

The million dollar question is, if Todd’s pick (Newt) doesn’t make it, and if the GOP looks certain to nominate a loser leading to Obama’s reelection, will one or both of them have regrets.

She bailed very soon after Bristol was verbally accosted by an enraged q***r in a bar. Not saying this was the reason- but it was obvious that the guy, might have done her physical harm if he had no witnesses. One of the things Palin mentioned in a local interview was that two of her kids really didn’t want her to run. I heard an interview with Todd where he said that he was glad that she sat this one out. I think her family’s reluctance along with the lack of support from the GOP, the lack of big bucks finances, aused her to bow out. Not to mention the conservative, Tea party types running after each new candidate that popped up then dropping them for somebody else.
