Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said Wednesday it will not be running for president, leaving little doubt that the eventual Republican nominee will come from the current field of contenders.
For months, leaving fans guessing about Palin said she and her husband Todd, "to dedicate to God, family and country." He said to him, the decision states that the order.

However, Palin later appeared overwhelmed by the national attention, at times hesitant in television interviews, even when asked simple.
Palin's statement Wednesday was much anticipated, but not surprised. Her popularity had plummeted polls recently, even though he was dear to many hard-line conservatives. Some Republicans felt waited too long and was teased for a presidential candidate. Some were confused by his decision to quit her job as governor for more than a year remaining on his term.
Palin's announcement came a day after the governor of New Jersey Chris Christie said he would not run. Republican insiders say the field is defined.

Michele Bachmann and others could give Romney a chance to win the caucus with a relatively small plurality.
Others argue that Perry will benefit from Palin's decision, because it helps to describe themselves as the best-known conservative alternative to Romney.
Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak said benefits Romney's decision and the benefits of Christie Perry Palin, so it is "a wash".
In a statement, Perry called Palin "a good friend, a great American, and a true patriot."
"I respect her decision and will remain a strong voice for conservative values, and the necessary changes to Washington," he said.
McCain, whose employees are often in conflict with Palin, said he was confident "it will continue to play an important role in our party and our nation."
Palin repeatedly fueled speculation about a presidential bid in part by the visit Iowa, home of the leadoff caucus nominating seven times since he left the governor in 2009.
In her speech, Palin said: "My decision is based on a review of what common sense conservatives and independents have done, especially during the last year I think I can now. Be more effective on paper to choose other officials of the royal office -. Principles of Government in the nation to seats in Congress and the Presidency "
