That’s something I mentioned on a different political forum I frequent and got pretty hardcore flamed for it. Indeed, she is only speaking what we already speak. It’s safe, easy, not dangerous. Of course we eat it up. She’s not offering anything really profound here. She’s not leaping out and taking the hits. She’s not jumping into a fist fight and getting bloodied up here. She has her own safe haven amongst the conservative media, and the libs will always give her a platform. I can appreciate her not willing to endorse a candidate, but she isn’t really saying anything noteworthy. She goes to a certain point, and then just pulls back. She softens her blows, including “all 4 candidates” in with her criticisms. She blasts one, but then pulls back, embraces another, but then pulls back. You sit there waiting for her to drop the hammer, but then she doesn’t so we sit here speculating on what she really meant or who she really supports.

She’s lukewarm in this race, plain and simple. And that is certainly her right to not get involved in this way. But lets not fool ourselves for what it really is: Commentary, not leadership.

I don’t buy the whole “She doesn’t want to endorse lest her bad mojo manufactured by the media will latch on to whoever she endorsed”. Fact of the matter is, the media is already going after conservatives the way they went after her. It couldn’t possibly get any worse.

It is most frustrating and disappointing. None of the big names, Palin, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity, etc. (those are not necessarily all the biggest names-—just the ones I get on my lame-o little radio) are willing to step up to the plate. They are all interested in their own self interest! Read that: their own self-preservation.

Such an important election-—they all say-— yet NONE are willing to commit.
