We have a completely grassroots campaign without a candidate for possibly another few weeks.
Or possibly ever. If Palin doesn't get into the campaign soon, will this grassroots campaign turn to another candidate, or will all the work and effort have been wasted?
People that support Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or Chris Christie or Rick Perry, etc. … don’t understand Sarah Palin supporters. They don’t understand the deep commitment and feelings we have towards Governor Palin.
But Ron Paul supporters do, as so do Obama's 2008 supporters. I don't mean that sarcasticly, I mean it as a statement of fact. At this point, the hard core Palinistas, Paulanistas, and Obamaistas look very similar in attitude; "cult of personality" describes all three movements at this point.
Yup.
Just wait. Palin isn't running and when she finally lets her adherents down, there is going to be hell to pay. I expect a meltdown at C4P of epic proportions as most of her followers absolutely believe she is running and can't accept that they've been strung along all this time. Once they figure it out, things are going to get extremely ugly.
So basically you’re calling your fellow freepers, people who share your values (which would have to include a certain amount of rational thought) stupid? Nice. The fact is, right now the majority aren’t even paying attention. That we are, regardless of who we support, shows that Palin supporters are just as concerned about the country as everyone else here. Most of us think she’ll run, some are unsure but there’s plenty of time to rally around someone else should she decide not to run. Enthusiasm is a good thing.
