Sarah Palin will not run for president. She made the announcement in a letter to supporters Wednesday night.
Read Palin’s letter here:
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....

Yea it was like watching the Deaniacs think he would win. At some point you just walk away from the cult.
Time to move on. Cain/Gingrich. BHO has got to go.
Why would you support that socialist?
A gloat-free “I told you so”. She would have needed to announce by the summer if she wanted to really run and win. Sarah Palin made a wise decision, and I wish her and her family all the best and hope she continues to be a shining light of the GOP, conservative and Tea Party movements.
As Michelle Bachmann put it “The table is now set.”
No wonder CAIN is rising.
You said that so well. I speak as someone who has never gloated over a misstep by another FReeper's candidate or spammed their threads. Palin supporters need a little space right now. We are hurt, disappointed, angry, and sick to our stomachs with hearts hanging heavy for our nation. It would be a mistake in the poorest of taste to attempt to corner us at this very moment to rub salt in our wounds or to demand our support for someone else. Ask me next week. I am not in the mood to be charitable to anyone right now.
And for the next person that insists that I must support Romney should he be the nominee, please just shut up and do something to prevent that from happening. Lord knows I don't have the heart right now.
Well just damn.
I do love your choice of keywords, however!
I don't think she will get a another opportunity like she had this time.
Time to move on.
Pathetic.
He's running? When did he get back?
“Perry/Palin still in play”
I’m worried now that if Palin is in the race even as the VP choice, her powerful detractors will eat on her and her girls like army ants.
Palin’s opposition — the establishment media and establishment elites — are perhaps the most powerful political group in America. Who’s her support base? A bunch of lowly voters.
A huge mistake. But. She has to live with it.
No one. Let this goddamn country go to hell.
Thats the great American spirit. LOSER! Get the hell off of FR if that's your attitude. DU will welcome trash like you with open arms.
Wasn’t me.
I'm with you. Palin has taken these people for a ride. "Flim Flam Man 2" and they refuse to see it for what it was.
I ditto this post:

In for Cain. Stay home in the event of Mittens.
No one should be gloating. Well, I might be feeling a little vindicated tonight especially when conversing with some of the more obnoxious (to me) Palin supporters but I won’t be posting any “ha-ha” type posts and I hope that my fellow conservatives keep it classy.
Good Lord let the scab form please?
Cain, of course. Cain, Bachmann and Santorem are the only true conservatives now in the game.
Romney and Perry are RINOs. Real conservatives will not vote for them. Hence, they are unelectable.
