History says I am right, but hey we are in weird times. The other thing that Palinistas need to understand and deal with is her hard disapproval numbers. They run through the middle which does not get you elected to president.

“The other thing that Palinistas ...”

Why the derogatory tone towards Palin supporters?

You got a thing for Romney?

Are you just another rino?

What is your problem?

The other thing that Palinistas need to understand and deal with is her hard disapproval numbers.

The doofus' approval ratings went up 8 points in a single week because he gave a tolerable speech. Reagan trailed Carter by 30 points in the run-up to the '80 election. Polls this early mean little.

What I do know, from living a little, is that success breeds success. If Sarah is the Republican nominee, she will be a "winner," and the latest thing, and the apolitical middle loves to jump on the-latest-winner-thing bandwagon.

Those "hard disapproval numbers" will disappear like dust in the wind when the People are forced to choose between either Palin and Obama.

And that's the choice I want: clear and stark. Not like the muddy, "lesser of two evils" choice we'd be faced with in the case of some RINO like Romney winning the nomination.

It's someone ambiguous like Romney, some of whose policies are indistinguishable from Obama's, who would surely de-energize the TEA Party base, and hand Obama an easy reelection...
