I don't know where you've been getting your information, but Todd and Track are pretty much ready to fight back after all the liberal attempts to destroy the Palin family. They are not shrinking violets, as you seem to suggest, but tough people who don't give up.
What I’m saying is Palin has shown real angst when it comes to her children, shrinking violets or not, becoming targets because of her political aspirations. She called out the “bully” lady to fight with her, for example, but to leave her children alone. She has not made it clear to me that she going to run. I thought she was, but now I not sure.
We’re going around in circles here. “Shrinking violets” was your word. I don’t think they’re shrinking violets, but I know attacks on her children have been an issue with Palin.
