She resigned, and came after her attackers, and beat the pants off of them.
As I say, the list of fighters among our politicals is pretty short. You have Palin, DeMint, and Bachmann, and maybe a couple of others who made it their purpose in life to go after Obama and try to stop his runaway train. And then you have the “electables”, the ones who think its their turn to be president. They mostly sat quietly the last couple of years, carefully husbanding their political viability waiting for election season to roll around.
You should notice something. The fighters spend all their ammo on Obama. The “electables” spend their ammo going after Palin. If one of them is your candidate, good for you. I’m sure he’d make a fine president. You just have to ask yourself why such a prodigy has sat so quietly when the fate of the republic hung in the balance. Leaders don’t wait for the phone to ring offering them the job, leaders lead. Fighters fight. Wannabes wait for the coronation and gripe about folks like Palin, DeMint, and Bachmann and worry that the Tea Party is going to drive away the “moderates”.

An excellent post worth repeating!
Great Post.
That brings up a question that is highly germane. What Republicans has Mrs. Palin attacked? The mainstream Republicans all seem to have disparaging remarks or outright enmity to Palin. Palin seems to be following the line laid down by a former very successful Republican president who pointedly did not disparage other Republicans, even ones he thought were wrong. He concentrated on the positive task of winning on his own merits. While other Republicans flicked their knives at him he just ignored them and the blades turned to putty.
