Sarah, you broke my heart tonight, and now I'm lost without you

Sarah Palin won't run for president. She broke the bad news on Mark Levin's nationally syndicated radio show this afternoon. I was at Sophie's soccer game and then we went for gelotti followed by homework and dinner so I'm only now catching up on the news.

And it's a damn shame.

So, one of these guys really is gonna be our next president?

I'm guessing it's time to take a flyer on Herman Cain. Because those other turkeys don't have what it takes. I'll do another post with my reasons why they're all deficient, but I want to get one thing about Mr. Cain off my chest right now. We can't go into the election with sentiments like this:

Because our black guy is way, way smarter than their black guy.

No, no, no, a thousand times no. This isn't about race. Obama and his people are married to the race card, we aren't. If Herman Cain is our guy it's because he's the right man for the job. Period, the end. What matters are his qualifications, his experience, and his charisma. They're the same qualities which kept me firmly in the Run, Sarah, Run camp. Because Sarah Palin would have been the most unconventional, and therefore the most underestimated candidate in our nation's history. She coulda been the '69 Mets of presidential politics.

Tomorrow is another day, and we have to keep our eyes on the prize. But right now I feel like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis. Sarah you broke my heart, and I need a good stiff drink.
