Patrick1 asked how she could appeal to independents. I’ve been attempting to address that in all of my posts on this thread. ...I took some interest in a couple of threads here and commented on them. Pretty pointless excercise when all is said and done.
Those non-affiliated voters just swung over 20 percent from Obama to Republican in the 2010 election. Gov. Palin was a major factor in that election, endorsing candidates and appearing at tea party events. If Obama continues as he has in the last 20 months, it will not matter who our candidate is, the Republican will win. That’s why it’s so important to get someone elected who will actually do as they say, who isn’t afraid to say and do the right thing even if it’s not politically advantageous. The last thing we need is another big government Republican like Romney.
Now if, in the next 20 months, Obama is able to demonstrate some evidence of competence, then we will need a candidate who will take the fight to him, and thus far, only Palin has shown an ability to do that.
Your post was an unstated negative, inferring by saying that she needed to take policy positions, that she hadn’t done so which was incorrect. I was simply correcting your unstated negative. It’s understandable that you did not know her positions because the MSM would prefer to talk about Dancing with the Stars.
Vast difference between midterm elections and a presidential election. Vast difference between being a presidential candidate and merely endorsing congressional candidates. As for Obama, I loathe him as much as most Republicans do, but it's a mistake to count him out with two years to go. Just sayin...and it's my last word on the subject since I'm headed off to work.
