Sarah Palin a annoncé au micro de l'animateur de radio conservateur Mark Levin qu'elle ne briguera pas la présidence en 2012. On trouve ici sa déclaration à ses supporteurs dont je cite un extrait dans le texte :
My decision is based upon a review of what common sense Conservatives and Independents have accomplished, especially over the last year. I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office - from the nation's governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency. We need to continue to actively and aggressively help those who will stop the "fundamental transformation" of our nation and instead seek the restoration of our greatness, our goodness and our constitutional republic based on the rule of law.
