“You can’t fathom why Palin decided not to run?”

No, that’s not what I said. I said I couldn’t fathom why she decided to rent a big bus and tour the primary states with her family, if she wasn’t planning on running. Doesn’t make much sense.

I think she was planning on running, but given Romney's hardball tactics, she decided against it, after renting the bus, etc. All of the candidates dropped out eventually, given Romney's relentless slanders. And Sarah had already had a dose of what Romney was capable of doing in 2008. I do not fault her for making the decision after all not to try to run; the cost for her family was probably just too great, because she felt that there was not much the Romney machine would not do to destroy her; that Romney with all of his money had decided the nomination was his. While I get really mad when the pundits try to compare this, Romney's evident 3rd attempt to run, with Ronald Reagan who won the election after being nominated the very first time, RR did make an effort to win the nomination twice before. So what is wrong with Sarah, still a young woman trying again? Other candidates have made some early attempts at running and then decided not to pursue the nomination, but since they did not rent a bus, is it the fact that she rented a bus and then dropped out is what you are upset about? Was it your bus, and you were counting on the rental income?

I have no idea what Palin was doing but I know it makes sense to observe, feel
and try to comprehend what the voting public is feeling. If she got the indication
it wasn’t her time then I can’t blame her for not running. JMO

Nope. But do you think it makes sense that she all the sudden decided to do this ditzy stunt just to jump up and down and look important? Just to make fools of people?

That doesn't make much sense, either.

Who knows what she was doing? Who knows why she decided not to run in 2012? For someone to whine and cry because they volunteered to get their hopes up that she would, and blame it for ills, kinda shows lack of accountability for one's own actions. Stop whining and buck up.
