Let's say argumentum that she was the most successful 29-month governor in the history of governors. Do you think mildly curious independents and downright disengaged moderate Republicans and Democrats - the people who actually elect presidents in this country - are going to give her record the careful examination that you believe it deserves, or do you think that they'll just see a lady who quit her day job to host a reality show and write a couple books?
The optics of how this will be portrayed are clear to anyone with just a passing interest in politics. The opposition's campaign commercials will write themselves, and they'll be devastating.
58% of the country didn't say they'll never vote for her for no reason - her quitting was one of the reasons, and her success as governor, however great it may have been, will be lost in the political narrative.
That's her political reality.
Ah... a primer on "reality" from the numbskull who stated yesterday that anyone who feels that Sarah Palin influenced the GOP Revolution of 2010 is "delusional."
Your own ignorance precludes you having anything meaningful to say about anyone's "reality," much less one of your betters. When you have acheived in your entire lifetime what Palin did in half a term as Governor, before falling on her sabre for the good of her constituents, then maybe, just maybe, you'll have earned a seat at that table.
Until then you're just another sour-grapes, bigmouthed, woman hating tinkerbell.
;-\
58% huh, and you truly believe this? You are just the kind of fool they are looking for when they post their weighted polls. For the record, no one ever called and polled me or anyone I know.
You’ve managed to hijack the thread and make it about you. Hopefully that will make you a happy camper now.
Palin was Governor for 32 months before she resigned to come down to lead the conservative movement and help lead us to one of the greatest electoral victories in conservative history.
One of those victories was to help defeat your (and Bill Clinton’s)) man Trey Grayson in his race to put another liberal GOPer in the Senate.
