CNN Asks: Now That Palin Is Out, How Much Would Her Endorsement Matter?



Washington (CNN) -- With Sarah Palin taking a pass on the 2012 presidential race, the focus has shifted to which Republican candidate will land the former Alaska governor's endorsement. But there's no guarantee she will endorse anyone. Palin has already lobbed pointed criticisms at the three Republican candidates leading the national polls: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, pizza baron Herman Cain and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. "I do not think it's a foregone conclusion that she will endorse any candidate, Bannon told CNN that Palin will think carefully before making an endorsement "If it does happen, it would be strategic, not something that would just be thrown out there," he said.

Who would it benefit? It would benefit the people running against who ever she endorses, at least I’d hope that would be the reaction. God, I really hope no one actually takes this woman’s political thoughts seriously at this point.

I mean who could she legitimately sway? Her reality tv show was cancelled right? She couldn’t have had that many fans…And what was with the media hooplah over the fact that she announced she wasn’t running the other day? Was this really a consideration? In other news did JWoww announce she won’t be running in 2012? 

Seriously people, can we talk about maybe having a month of Sarah Palin-free news? She’s not good at politics, she’s not good at entertainment, and she generally seems like she’s not that smart. Her 15 minutes rightfully should have been over years ago now, and would have been if the head of Fox didn’t have a hard on for her

It’s 2011 people, her bid for VP ended long ago and she quit her job as governor to star in a reality show that lasted all of about 4 episodes (I’m guessing by I’m going to say that has a +- range of 1 episode). It’s time to move on.
