No, Sarah did not fold under pressure and no, you do not know the reasons she did not run in ‘12. There is a right time and a wrong time and that wasn’t the right time. It had nothing to do with family, btw. It has everything to do with winning an election and having the ability to effect the changes once the win is secured.
The GOP-e was the major stumbling block. Now they’ve been defeated, humiliated and marginalized. Now is the Sarah Palin/Tea Party’s moment in time, the coming ‘14 elections and ‘16 presidential election. Now is the time for us to come together and make it happen.
My comment about Palin referred to her decision to resign as Governor in 2009, not to her decision not to run for President in 2012.
And let me emphasize this: I do not question her decision to resign as Governor. She put family, and family finances, ahead of her office. Nothing wrong with that.
But to save this poor country, we need another Reagan, or perhaps an American Churchill. Palin is a fine person, and she is a real asset to the conservative cause. But she is simply not a Churchill.
