You almost have to feel sorry for Sarah Palin

[periwinkle27]

Almost.

She picks today to make the big announcement that she will not run for President and then Steve Jobs dies. Guess which story is grabbing the headlines.

Jobs was a fighter and an innovator. I'm sorry to learned he passed away. He will be missed.

The happiness I felt upon learning that Palin wasn't throwing her hat into the ring was immediately dimmed by Steve Jobs' passing.

I have to admit, I'm unusually saddened by his death.

My reaction exactly. Jobs pushed Palin right off the lead story.

I obviously never knew him, but I also find it very sad. As I said he fought hard to survive pancreatic cancer.

He changed how we communicate. Steve Jobs was a true visionary.
As for Sarah, she's doing what will benefit the bigger picture. Personally, I think Cain has a really good shot at the nomination. It could be very interesting.

She overstayed her fifteen minutes way too long.

Unfortunately, I don't think she's gone for good, and there are many like-minded people still in the race. They all scare me.

I'm saddened, though not surprised, by Steve Jobs' passing.

I have to agree with some of the Republican candidates who asked her to please, please make a decision. She was making it hard on them as the voters were confused as to whom to support.

It's a sad day. Some of the tributes to him have been really touching. As someone who has always had a Mac, I always looked forward to his presentations. He will very truly be missed.

Feel sorry for Sarah Palin? Not even an "almost".

[periwinkle27]

Yup. I tend to speak in irony and sarcasm :)

I am really happy she's out of the race.
