Honestly, if Sarah were to ask me, (not gunna happen) I would have to say to her, don't do it. Enjoy your life, take care of your family. However...the fact that the Left is so scared of her that they feel they need to destroy her, tells me something; they believe there is a good chance that she will run.
I am an Australian. Our State Broadcasting Service (SBS) denigrates Sarah Palin at every opportunity, just as they did and still denigrate GWB. That's got to be purely to influence the one hundred thousand or so American expats who live here.
We shall see. I look on the bright side. The Left may have exhausted their muckraking opportunities by the time the next campaign begins.
This happens anytime an authentic conservative with courage appears on the scene. It happened with Goldwater, Reagan and Thatcher.
We conservatives have to understand this. We will always be doing battle on hostile terrain.
When a courageous conservative steps into the breach we owe him/her our unconditional and unwavering support.
"Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others." Winston Churchill
