You do understand the money and the machine it takes to run.
Reagan knew that and planned ahead. He was ready. You can’t win just because people on your side like you, the deal is you have to be ready to counter the other side and sell yourself to others than the people that are already on board.
That takes a machine and it takes planning way ahead, well, unless you are a Bush or a Clinton.
I’m sure Sarah Palin will do aok with fund-raising, when she runs.
Just saying.
:D The real question at this point is, what party?
No one has known that better than Mitt Romney in 2006, he went out and sewed up the big donors, formed a massive army of volunteers and power players, and during the primary, while commanding his army and spending millions, he even periodically injected portions of his own fortune, during fund raising breaks, to the tune of $45 million of his own money, along with many millions from others.
Huckabee and McCain had no money, no people, it was often just them almost alone, but they both beat Romney.
Have you seen my tagline? Do you think I’m kidding or don’t know what I’m promising? I was the top fundraiser for the Polk County GOP and a presidential campaign in 1987-88. I raised over $40,000 for Fred Thompson in the short period he was running for the White House. There are tens of millions of other Americans behind Sarah Palin. There are hundreds of blogs and websites that focus and report on her actions.
Spoken like a true elitist. A machine? Yea, the two Statist Party machines have almost destroyed this Republic.
If Sarah opts for a true Second Party, then I and millions of others will be on board 1000%....
Hopefully she can help destroy the destructive GOP-e and their dying party: RINOpublican.
