Shitballs. I’d imagine she’d been dong a good job of soaking up funds that might have otherwise gone to someone with an actual chance.
We need something to fill that void. Quick, I need kickstart funding to launch a line of… fuck, I don’t know. Mattress-mounted gun racks with an American Flag print and electronics that play “You’re A Grand Old Flag” when you pick your gun up.
“Like anyone really gives a shit anymore.”
Then why’d you blog it?
Well, duh. Why would she want to take that much of a pay cut?
You mean there were people who gave a shit to begin with? I can’t believe anyone ever thought she was actually going to run.
No, I have inside information that she IS running. She will announce Friday.

Remember kids, screwing with uneducated, simple-minded rubes and licking the ears of plutocrats who have more money then they apparently know what to do with is FAR more lucrative than actually running for office.
This is going to be a thing now, “I MIGHT run for dog catcher! SEND ME A FUCKING CHECK.”
Andrew Sullivan is probably disappointed, as he could never shut up about her.
However, she’s still up for GOP VP nomination.
@9:
Doubtful. Even the GOP tends to not recycle candidates who’ve already lost national elections (Nixon being perhaps the most notable exception), particularly when they’ve got other equally suitable crazies *cough!*Cain*cough!*Bachmann*cough!* waiting in the wings.
@2: I thought the same thing. Let’s all hope she runs a third-party/independent campaign. We can all hope!
Wow… this is more shocking than that time Clay Akin finally admitted to being gay.
Awww. Sad to hear her officially jump off the clown car. She had no hope of winning, of course, which is probably why she bailed. But the entertainment value was fun.
Don’t worry: she’s up for the 2012 election though!
Sorry, that was supposed to be 2016
They’re celebrating in Utah. They perceived her as a threat to Mo domination of the White House via Mitt 3.0.
@12 No, you’re wrong. It’s way more shocking than when Ricky Martin finally admitted he was gay.
Then why was she fundraising all summer?
Oh yeah, it’s because she’s a greedy, attention-seeking narcissist.
But this announcement has cost/spared us several months of incomprehensible idiocy from her campaign.
Really? While I think it was silly to not take Christie silly when he said “no” explicitly, I still think maybe she just wants more people to throw money and beg her to run. She’s an unpredictable maverick, you know. Wouldn’t be surprised if she changed her mind again. (Though I agree with COMTE that she probably doesn’t actually want the job, given her current salaries.)
“prayer and serious consideration” ?? Why not open your friggin eyes and ears – you would have come up withe the same answer in half the time.
Do you think God told her not to run or did she just assume that’s what he wanted when he didn’t respond to her prayers?
