Anything, like this, written by Politico should be considered “Democrat Propaganda”.
Normally, I'd agree with you, but this just happens to be one of those 'broken clock' posts.
It's a fact that the Republican electorate is nonplussed by our selection of candidates, and that the bulk of Tea Party conservatives are even more-so. Only Sarah Palin can bring the sort of excitement and passion that we need to galvanize the base at this time.
Politico got it right, for once.
