She could have sank Romney early on by getting behind a candidate and campaigning. Why didn’t see? For the same reason nobody stands up too strongly. Have to play along to get along to a certain degree. All the little bones she throws at us doesn’t change our predicament.
What Candidate are you suggesting she could have gotten behind?? Not fruitcake Bachmann, No way Santorum, nobody that actually ran was much of anything.
Looking backwards, Perry may have been the best person that actually ran.
For Sure Sarah was my pick, I think she figured it out, people art just to fickle, one minute they love you and the next minute they are against you.
American people are actually stupid, there is not much hope
She sees the country in a desperate time of need. Like so many of us she didn't get her way but rather than sit in a corner and suck her thumb she is out there getting the job done. And no one gets the job of rat extermination done better than Sarah.
Yep. Instead Palin just sat on the sidelines and watched as Newt, Rick, etc. split the conservative vote. She watched as Romney took state after state.
Her support would have made a difference. Be she chose not to get in the fray. The irony is that she is now criticizing the fighting instincts of others.
I'm sure I'll take some hits for saying this. But one reason (out of many) why we're stuck with Romney is that Palin did not act when the conservative cause really needed her.
I will now retreat to my bunker.
No she couldn’t, she did everything she could for Newt, gave him pre-primary booster, mini-endorsements, had Todd formally endorse him, and was probably planning the big push after Florida, but Bloody Thursday ended that plan.
Nonsense. As a Fox News commentator, Sarah is not allowed to formally endorse anyone. But she made it very clear several times that she backed Newt, and her husband formally endorsed Newt, which was a pretty clear signal.
That gave Newt a temporary lift, but unfortunately he was unable to sustain it. Too much baggage.
The candidate who was doing best against Romney turned out to be Rick Santorum. But the libertarians were successfully put off him by numerous Lamestream lies about what he actually said. Rick still came the closest to derailing Romney, and possibly if Sarah had backed him instead, things would have turned out differently.
But she didn’t. She backed Newt. That turned out to be a mistake, but there’s no use worrying about water over the dam.
