But wait a minute, why isn’t Obama pitted against Mitt Romney? Or, ahem, Mitch Daniels? Or Kathleen Parker’s candidate? Or the Huckster? Or Pawlenty? Or (enter the beltway’s latest candidate du jour)? Could it be that nobody knows (or cares) what those guys are doing?
It’s not what they are doing that isn’t the problem per say, it’s what they ‘failed’ to do from the beginning that Sarah so smartly did and didn’t “retreat on’!
When the Tea Party and grassroots movement were rising last year, Sarah immediately embraced it, while the others were too chicken to decide whether it was a good idea, when the MSM went out and attacked the Tea Party as racist , Sarah defended them, while the others were tepid & cautious at times
When the heat of the battle over HealthCare arose, She took the mocking and insults over her rightly describing Death Panels in the bill....Mitt was nonexistence as well as a few who are thinking about running.
And the list goes on....Gulf Oil Crisis, Arizona illegal immigration bill, Stimulus...etc
Sarah knows that the people will reward & trust someone for not being afraid and standing with the people....
people trust someone as a leader who is willing to stand in the front of the line taking the arrows with them than to have someone who stand behind everyone waiting after the victory to proclaim that they have arrived to saved the day.
Good post in its entirety. Well said.
