As chants of "Run, Sarah, run" billowed up from the crowd, Sarah Palin was drowned out by a devout Tea Party audience yesterday in Manchester who believe the former Alaska governor fits her own description of the next president.
"We need people with a proven record of reform and who are willing to take on the tough challenges, run into danger, if you will, not run away from it. We need a pro-growth agenda," Palin said at the Tea Party Express rally, pausing mid sentence as the chants built up.
"We simply don't have time to be bogged down in internal conflicts and friendly-fire conflicts," she said. "The time to secure our future and preserve the blessings of liberty and restore our economy, it's now.
"The Tea Party movement is bigger than any one person and it's not about any one candidate."

Well that’s true of Romney and Bachmann.
But it’s not true of Perry. He is not struggling at all. He’s doing quite well, now. It doesn’t matter if that makes a bunch of freepers mad. Perry is cruising as of right now.

I'm taking you at face value that you used to be very pro-Palin, and that the only thing that's changed your opinion is her failure to officially declare her candidacy. That course of events has lead you to the conclusion that, as you stated, when she resigned her Governorship she knew she was never going to run for President.
My question to you is a hypothetical. If she does become a candidate, will it affect your objection to her if one of the fundamental premises of your objection is demonstrably false?
