He’s so right Sarah Palin is like the Michael Jordan of the GOP field. When she gets in this race it’s hers to lose. All the other candidates are just B level players or pretenders (Romney) that are seeking to get the nod.
In another time, I would have considered that we have a pretty strong field with which to challenge such a weak and failed Democrat president.
With Sarah in the wings - not so much.
Borrowing from your analogy, it's like an All Star game where we have Michael Jordan on our team. The rest are perfectly capable players, and some are even stars in their own right. But Michael is so much better than the rest, that he's simply in a league of his own.
I just cannot imagine our side showing up to the All Star game of politics without our very best player as Captain of the team.
