Unfortunately, Sarah’s recent statement that she is “100 percent” for the re-election of the RINO John McCain is not going to help her.
A real conservative eschews and avoids faux-conservatives like McCain, Graham, et al.
If Sarah should actually endorse McCain over a real conservative like J.D. Hayworth in Arizona (who may be challenging McCain), it will not bode well for her political future.
McCain might be her political benefactor for bringing her into national prominence, but he is unworthy of her support and I can’t imagine anyone disagreeing with that.
I don't think she intends anyone to take this serious. She is damned if she does or damned if she doesn't on this issue. I would be very suprised if she pays (luscious) lip service to any other Rhinos.
All she said was she supported John McCain 100% and said nothing about his campaign. She has even refused to comment on the campaign specificly when asked. Her comment was directed at the little flap about her blacking out his name on an old campaign visor while on the beach in Hawaii. Read her book, you’ll come away from it with a different mindset.
And sure enough, here comes the anti-Palin brigade to relate their latest Verse of their own personal political strategy in the very next post. She's "not, not, not... good enough for us".
She's plenty good enough for America, though. She has lots going for her, not the least of which is ELECTABILITY. Their imaginary candidate (or tried-and -failed like Alan whatshisname?) is only going to twist in the winds of time. She is a proven reformer. She listens and acts accordingly. Mostly, her attraction is probably because she is a smart, talented wife/politician/mom/businessperson/public speaker/conservative.
Sarah has more than 1,115,620 supporters on FaceBook this morning.,,
I have to disagree with you on this. The statement is about politics. She is attempting,from the outside,to build a base. Regardless of what she,you or myself may feel about McCain (we probably all agree) ,the man did nominate her for VP and as such she would be seen by some to be ungrateful for not supporting him.
If she appeared ungrateful then those within power now would be less likely to support her in the future. She can “go rogue” as she did in NY 23,bucking the establishment and supporting someone other than the party nominee to build her credentials.
In dealing with McCain and all the issues arising from the campaign she has taken the high road where ever possible. That’s a course she cannot veer from should she expect the help she will surely need if 2012 is not to become a meltdown and a second Obamination victory.
Again,this is politics. At this point in time,up to and possibly past her victory in 2012,she will have to show her gratitude to McCain for making her a national figure.
I look at it this way: Endorsing McCain is not going to help her, but NOT endorsing him could hurt her. Loyalty is an important thing when you are out there doing favors (campaigning). You hope to collect those IOU's later on. If she fails to say the 'right things' about McCain it might make it harder to collect when the time comes.
I didn't like her bragging about being the first Governor to appoint a Climate Change sub-cabinet officer, unless she had gone on to say, 'with the new information, we now know the whole man-caused global warming is a giant hoax.'
I think when the time comes she’ll support a real conservative over McCain. I’ll reserve judgement ‘till then.
Then that seals it. I'll send her an email telling her that any potential future run for the presidency will be a waste of time.......She'll listen to you.
