I think the infighting isn’t very smart but candidly, Palin’s cast of supporters largely don’t care to hear any criticism of their candidate and many have been rather aggressive in attacking people who don’t have her first on their lists.
Yeah, a lot of them seem to act the same way the more rabid supporters of Ron Paul did in 2007. Not a good formula to help your candidate.
No kidding.
Palin has some real nutcases following her, some of them here on FR.
Sarah Palin can handle the heat. She’s not some hothouse flower, and she needs to be treated like any other serious candidate. That means taking criticism, answering it when appropriate, defending her stands on the issues, playing the game.
These rabid supporters need to get out of the way and let her fight her way to the top. They are doing her no favors.
FWIW, I’m a Palin fan and hope she does, indeed, run for the Presidency.
I’m all for warranted criticisim of Palin, but there really isn’t a lot of criticism that isn’t made up, based on rumors and culitivated by people who don’t like her anyway. Honestly, has any national candidate been attacked and scrutinized the way Palin was the day her nomination was announced to this very day? Kerry, Liberman, Gore and Edwards all went their separate ways after their losses and they never got any of this day-to-day coverage that Palin is generating.
