Prediction: Sarah Palin will not run and endorse Herman Cain

I’m posting a prediction here mainly for bragging rights, secure in the knowledge that if I’m wrong, it will be forgotten:

Sarah Palin will not run, and will endorse Herman Cain shortly before the Iowa caucuses.

If I’m right, however, I DEMAND front page recognition, even universal adulation, in fact, for my prescience.

I was gonna post this, even before I saw Palin’s interview. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/64590.html

The “flavor of the week” comment notwithstanding, her comments were very positive, and suggested that she thinks he’s a kindred spirit.

    I agree she won’t run, but she’s too ambitious to endorse Cain. She’ll endorse someone who can run.

    I predict she’ll endorse Christie right away if he enters the race or will eventually endorse Romney.

  • freentn

    Perry too, but I have never heard her say anything positive about romney.

    Don’t be surprised if Palin runs on a 3rd Party ticket.

  • A_Texan

    her accusation of “crony capitalism” with reference to the Gardisol controversy leads me to believe otherwise.

  • chihank

    A third party bid by Palin would hand Obama the election. But, she won’t do it. She’ll back the GOP winner. I still think Palin will back Perry, but there is a chance she’ll back Cain, especially if Cain can turn straw polls into actual votes.

    Also Donald Trump won’t run as a 3rd party either. He likes his tv show too much.

    The most likely 3rd party run might be from Mike Bloomberg or Bob Barr.

  • freentn

    She definitely took a shot at Perry. Based on all her recent comments, it is looking like Palin will go rogue against the Republicans as a 3rd Party candidate.

  • A_Texan

    I hope you’re wrong, because that would be disastrous.

    I think you’re wrong because of her various statements on the matter, including her endorsement of Orin Hatch.

  • freentn

    for the Republican Party and I hope she does not run as a 3rd Party Candidate.

    .

    Cain is such a classy guy, unlike the serial accuser.

  • Jim Tomasik

    than she did with that one line. He turned it around perfectly anyway.

    He also worked in the 999 thing with it as well. ;)
