Sarah Palin says "No" for 2012; Rick Perry statement

I'm not surprised, but the suspense is over. Sarah Palin says she is not running for president in 2012. Which means voters are stuck with the men and one woman running for president on the Republican side. But I think it's a superb field.

One of those entrants is Rick Perry. "Sarah Palin is a good friend, a great American and a true patriot," the Texas governor said in a statement. "I respect her decision and know she will continue to be a strong voice for conservative values and needed change in Washington."
