I think Palin is between a rock and a hard place. While her support for a particular candidate might be viewed as a positive here, the MSM would latch onto it and use it to tear down that candidate because they hate Palin so much and did everything they could to ruin her and make her look ridiculous. And unfortunately they projected such a wierd image of her that most of the US probably thinks she’s one step away from the mental ward...or maybe the circus.

I think she’s aware of that, and that’s the reason for her reticence. An endorsement could backfire, in other words.

If what you say is correct (and I believe very possible) then the answer is obvious.
Sarah should support Romney.

I just wish she'd taken up the fight and gone for it. Seems like she had the fortitude to withstand the firestorm. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she wasn't up to the crucible. But there's no one else who unflinchingly stands up for the America many of us believe in - apparently you undergo a withering and relentless attack if you do that.

We're back to the founding of this country where people felt they were sacrificing their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor (was "family" in that list?.) Looks like your family also has to go on the altar. Too high a price for many including apparently Palin.
