Agree, though I respect Sarah's decision. The calculation was very well-considered, I believe, and 2012 might be just a tiny bit premature, given the MSM demonization and the PDS'ers hysterical hand-wringing.
My only consolation is the realization that Sarah Palin is not abandoning the fight. She has decided that 2012 was not her time, and she might be right.
It will be interesting to see what influence Sarah and her supporters can exert in the 2012 elections. Their effect on the 2010 elections was obvious and profound. The more influence, the better.
However, I do expect Sarah to run for President sometime relatively soon, either in 2016 or 2020, depending on whether 0bama is re-elected or not. Indeed, if Sarah Palin never has a chance to serve as President of the United States, I believe that will be a historical tragedy which will accrue to the detriment of the Republic.
She seems to know exactly what she is doing...at some point you have to trust a little in someones judgement...
