“I was sitting in a restaurant this morning listen to some local (liberal) politician and a union rep talking about Palin and the presidency. They desperately want Sarah to win the GOP nomination so that they can walk to victory in 2012. The media will build her up in the areas needed for her to win the nomination, then they’ll marginalize her at best, and destroy her at worst.”
This was their plan in 1980 (the last time the GOP nominated a conservative) as well. How did that one work out?
Did you catch part 3 of Brit Hume’s special on the rise of Conservatism today? If now I recommend it since it covers Reagan and serves as a great reminder of just how much Sarah and Reagan share at this point in their careers, he was a fighter, too, and greatly underestimated and ridiculed.
