You gotta be kidding!How quickly we forget.

Have you forgotten all the crowds she has generated, all the excitement, the charisma she exudes like no one else in our party can do?short memory!

So all that will be lost because she decided not to run(and basically you didn't get "your" way) and didn't do it under your time frame? Sorry I don't see it working that way.

I hear a lot of comments here that Palin strung people along until the last moment and that's why they are pissed.

Has anyone considered that Bristol Palin may not be the greatest source in the world?

Is it at all possible that Sarah did not make up her mind until this week?

Anyone ever considered that? I doubt it.

People rallied to Sarahs side because they thought of her as a leader. She just told us she is not going to lead in any kind of meaningful sense. If she is not going to be a leader just a talker then I don’t think folks will continue to rally to her. That BTW is not a knock on her, just an observation on the nature of people.

That's my belief. I believe it was heavy on her heart and once she knew/made her decision - weighing everything and there was a lot to consider, she told us. I never thought otherwise. She's a woman of honor and there is nothing to suggest otherwise - right down to their garbage picking and 25000 emails!

She didn’t decide until this week!

People are nutz to believe otherwise.

She had every intention to run and the fire in her belly!

It was a family decision and one of security, imo.

I am so tired and sick and tired of repeating myself...lol.

Her mature kids weren’t willing to risk their beloved, cherished mom taking a bullet in the massive crowds she attracts.

The daily death threats she receives are documented and deadly serious! She has to provide her own security until she’s the nomineee. Sheeesh.
