I believe you are completely wrong about Palin.
She was deliberately attacked by the national left, after her run for the Vice Presidency in 2008.
Alaska law is not very protective of candidates in that case, and it was the ENTIRE leftwing which went after her. The leftwing throughout America.
She was the single most popular American governor before that race.
I sincerely believe you should look at that more closely.
Palin did what she needed to do. Everyone was attacking her. She was financially responsible for her own protection, and eventually that became an issue for her.
She is now doing very well for herself.
She will be back, stronger than ever.
I wasn’t there to see what did or did not happen, but I don’t think this alleged incident will change any minds one way or the other.
People who support her will continue to do so, people who hate her will continue to do so.
To me, what’s most amazing is how she manages to hold her head high, no matter what is thrown at her.
The left wing is going after Governor Perry right now as we speak. How humiliating do you think it was for him to have to go down to the courthouse and get a mugshot and fingerprinted? I don’t see him cutting and running and I also don’t see the FR support for him that I would have expected. Rick’s not crying about his legal bills and he’s smart enough to use it to turn lemons into oranges.
