Sarah Palin making an endorsement all depends on her popularity and influence at the time. Even if he's someone who meets Palin's criteria, her endorsement could potentially hurt his campaign based on her public perception. He may not even want it. If it's Perry or Romney...forget it; I'm sure she will not endorse them. If I had to make a prediction, I would bet that Palin doesn't endorse anyone in this cycle. This election is too volatile to take risks.
However, if it looks like Palin supporters are so disenchanted by next year that they aren't going to the voting booth, then I think she'll come out and tell us to vote Republican, even if it's Romney or Perry. She loves the country too much to see Obama win (again) due to apathetic voters.

Gov. Rick Perry 2010 campaign memory
I know this isn't very substantive, but I wanted to post this memory I have of Rick Perry's 2010 gubernatorial campaign. I was at Palin's book signing for Going Rogue, which was in December of '09. I got in line very, very early in the morning and just waited with the others until 9am when the doors opened. While waiting, a horde of Perry '10 campaign volunteers descended upon us wearing matching shirts. They walked through the line and asked each person if they supported Rick Perry for Governor in 2010. I was in the second portion of the line and watched them until they got to me. When a person answered "yes" they would ask if that person wanted to sign up to be a volunteer. If that person didn't want to be a volunteer they would press and ask why not, and badger them until they submitted their name, phone number and email address. If a person said they did not support Perry then they would badger and pester and ask them why not. They would say "he's friends with Palin and she supports him." They were UBER annoying. When they got to me I just said "yes" because I didn't want to be bothered with explaining why I didn't. I refused to sign my name, though. The guy next to me said no he didn't support Perry because he didn't think anyone should have three consecutive terms in office.
The worst part was that the same horde of volunteers went through the line again about two hours later and asked everyone again and we all had to repeat our answers. It was infuriating. They were pushy and aggressive. My take on the general consensus of the people waiting is that no one really supported Perry. Despite knowing Palin supported him, we were all just kind of "meh" and over him. I don't really think there's a lot of Texas support for him and Palin's endorsement STILL confuses Palin supporters. Perry is not the conservative Texas hero that outsiders are making him out to be.

Nancy Pelosi could be single-handedly responsible for her party's losses, yet Sarah Palin is the political idiot?
Since the election results came in the corrupt media have been trying to create a story that Palin's endorsements have not been as successful as predicted. For instance there was this story on Yahoo's front page this morning: "Despite mixed record, Palin talks up her 2010 impact." I read it and kept waiting for the bad news that was going to tell me Palin was a bad "picker," that she's not politically savvy, that she's an idiot, and...nothing. There was no there, there. The author literally made a story out of nothing.
I thought about Nancy Pelosi. She was the one who encouraged Congress to vote for Obamacare. All those Congressmen and women went home that summer and faced mobs of angry constituents telling them straight out that they hated the bill. Pelosi said that "they would have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." Pelosi committed career suicide for herself and for every Democrat voted out of office this year. She is the one who lost the House for the Democrats, literally. They all listened to her, were threatened by her somehow to vote against their constituency. They ended up going right off the cliff. Where is the corrupt media talking about how stupid Pelosi is for doing that? Why aren't they talking about how un-savvy she is, and how she's the worst Speaker of the House of all time? Why aren't they talking about how she wastes taxpayer money on her extravagent private plane the way they bagged on Palin for her RNC clothes (that were not taxpayer funded)? And so many other things.
It looks to me like Pelosi is the idiot here. She's the biggest loser from this election and I can't wait until she comes up for reelection and gets her you-know-what handed to her. Palin is the most politically-savvy person this country has seen in a LONG time. No one can pick candidates like her, connect with the American public like her, speak like her, be as engaging as her - the list goes on. The corrupt media continues to grasp at straws trying to discredit her. It'll never happen.

Freaking awesome video from SarahPAC
Palin is hopeful and happy about the election results. This video took me right out of my doldrums that I was in since Harry Reid got reelected. I'm pumped up now and realize we really accomplished a lot in this cycle. This video is pure awesome and has been very well-received, even the BBC took notice.
