If you want to pretend otherwise go right ahead.
Uh....no, you didn't. You also stated "It will crush a Palin Candidacy." (referring to attacks by the msm et al.
And that is not a fact! It is at best an opinion...as I stated in my original reply to your post. I did not contend the fact of Mrs. Palin's "quitting".
We try really hard not to "pretend" here as it serves no purpose. Folks on here do tend to be "purpose" oriented.
