I just had an epiphany.
Okay, maybe I’m a little slow...but I think I’ve figured out what’s going on now...
They are afraid of Sarah because they think she might be able to win, and...
THEY DON’T WANT TO WIN IN 2012.
They want Jeb Bush in 2016.
Seriously, the establishment wants Jeb Bush, but they realize 2012 is still a little too close to GW’s disaster.
They need a democrat in office until 2016...the economy won’t be turned around yet (especially if democrat policies are in place) and then Jeb can be anointed.
This is all about extending the Bush dynasty.
They know a squish like Romney can’t win. They know Sarah would be as popular as Reagan, winning in a landslide. That’s why they have to push the ‘she’s not electable’ narrative...because if they don’t...if people suddenly realize she’s not this dim bulb caricature but a real and genuine conservative...she will keep Jeb out of the White House until 2024.
Remember, poppa Bush always thought that Reagan kept him from the White House for eight years and said so on different occasions. They have real scorn for populist conservatives.
