watching the Republican Straw vote she realizes they don’t want either of the two front runners and she has to run to save the republic and knows it will be very hard on her and her family.

This is exactly my take on it. Cain's win in Florida IMO, is a "no Confidence" vote against the top tier candidates. Sarah knows that Cain is not ready to be President of the United States.

Cain has much more executive experience than Palin, and has the added benefit of not quitting an elected job mid-term.

Palin should strongly consider backing Cain, though.
