Damn..... I’m all for Cain now, Romney can pound salt
Well I’m all in for Cain now.
Not a surprise at all. I like her, but she had no chance.
I predict Sarah will endorse Herman Cain and then become Secretary of Energy in his cabinet!
We need to focus now on not letting Romney get the nomination.
Here’s the letter:
October 5, 2011
Wasilla, Alaska
After much prayer and serious consideration, I have decided that I will not be seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for President of the United States. As always, my family comes first and obviously Todd and I put great consideration into family life before making this decision. When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order.
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the “fundamental transformation” of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
From the bottom of my heart I thank those who have supported me and defended my record throughout the years, and encouraged me to run for President. Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I’ve always said, one doesn’t need a title to help do it.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, including in the race for President where our candidates must embrace immediate action toward energy independence through domestic resource developments of conventional energy sources, along with renewables. We must reduce tax burdens and onerous regulations that kill American industry, and our candidates must always push to minimize government to strengthen the economy and allow the private sector to create jobs.
Those will be our priorities so Americans can be confident that a smaller, smarter government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people can better serve this most exceptional nation.
In the coming weeks I will help coordinate strategies to assist in replacing the President, re-taking the Senate, and maintaining the House.
Thank you again for all your support. Let’s unite to restore this country!
God bless America.
– Sarah Palin
Well, sh!t.
It looks more and more like we’re going to be stuck with Romney.
I know that the Party Pukes favor him, but surely we can do better.
I won’t vote for Perry (after the “heartless” comment) and I won’t vote for Cain (after the racially tinged comments). A pity on both counts. They had me going.
So, what’s left?
I was hoping to be enthused this time.
And I’m not enthused. Not even close.
Dang it. My wife is not happy.
So now I’m going to be voting for Cain in the Tennessee primaries.
I hear a giant sucking sound from the “Undecided” column, moving to the CAIN Column.
The field is set.

Gee, I’m shocked. /sar
This has been obvious for months, but I admit I’ll miss the Palin fanatics “just wait until she announces” rants. Now, can we end this tomfoolery and work on beating Romney first, and then Obama?
I don’t really want to say “I told you so”, but I told you she wasn’t running.
This was the worst decision she could have made......I am crushed beyond belief and wonder what they threatened her with to get her out, she was always running and we all knew it.
I don’t really want to say “I told you so”, but I told you she wasn’t running.
Ugh...seriously bummed, but glad we have a decision. Gettin’ my ticket for the Cain Train.
Sarah is NOT running... I am sorry. God must have another plan for her.
NEVER fall in love with a politician - they'll break your heart every time.
Focus on the principles instead. They'll never change.
I’m afraid that now, we will have but lesser candidates to choose from. The candidate we’ll get will not be the most qualified but the one with the most money to spend!
As Matt Drudge said: It”s a sad day for America.
I am now in full for Cain.
