Amidst news reports last night about the sad passing of Steve Jobs, there was another headline making a splash and that was Sarah Palin's announcement that she will not run for president next year. The former Alaska governor-turned-media-star apologized on Fox "to those who are disappointed."
“I believe I can be an effective voice in some positive change,” said the author of Going Rogue: An American Life. “You don’t need a title to make a difference in this country: I’m living proof of that.”
According to RadarOnline, during the interview with Greta Van Susteren, Sarah indicated she aims to see that President Obama is not re-elected and that more conservatives are elected into the House of Representatives.
