First, Palin is “friends” with many of the candidates, so an endorsement of one will offend the others.
Second, if Palin endorses a candidate and he/she loses the primary, Palin’s influence and endorsement is diminished.
If Palin objects to Romney as much as we do, then she will help stop him.
If Palin does not, she is wiser to keep her powder dry so it can be used against Obama.
She endorsed people in 2010 so people may expect it. If she doesn’t endorse someone she may lose some of her ‘king making’ status, for lack of a better word.
“First, Palin is “friends” with many of the candidates”
Make that ‘was’. Every damn one of them stabbed her in the back. What she knows now is she has no ‘friends’ among the candidates she endorsed...and Santorum took a cheap shot at her as well.
Second, if Palin endorses a candidate and he/she loses the primary, Palin’s influence and endorsement is diminished.
She’s known as a “kingmaker” and a kingmaker MUST endorse someone. If she fails in those she deems worthy that would make her a lousy kingmaker.
