Not a single bit!!!....I don't think I'm alone here at FR when I post my frustration, extreme disappointment, sadness, and level of defeat by this announcement.

I know better to put my hope in mere men or women.....but this woman sure fooled me.

I feel like we were led on.....and I dont know why.

I also don't think she will have one whit of 'power' to influence any election, candidate, or the Presidency.

I guess she's done.

It must be obvious I'm just plain mad!

I understand the frustration. I love Palin, but I did not become a Palin-Waiter (as opposed to a Palin-Hater).

I learned a lesson long ago about expectations. Expectations are the largest cause of stress and arguments in our lives, especially in our marriages.

Many times we expect something, but it does not happen and it hurts.

Ask yourself, why did I expect this? What made me expect this? Why should I expect this to happen?

Get a handle on your expectations and your life improves dramatically.
