I just heard Sarah on Hannity. She said that she didn’t “retreat” and now she felt free to say whatever she thinks. I don’t see why a campaign would have restricted her message in any way.
She rattled off half a dozen or more objectives and qualities that she hopes to see in a candidate. After each, I said, audibly though to myself, “Yeah YOU are that candidate who could have espoused those issues.” The “guy” that she is looking for has left for the North Slopes. The magic is really gone now. It’s a shame. I’m sure that she feels relief that the decision has been made, but as the campaign unfolds, “what might have been” will hang around like a long shadow at sunset, and its lurking will be painfully obvious to all, including Sarah.
” - YOU are that candidate who could have espoused those issues.”
I understand your disappointment. I’d like nothing better than Sarah Palin to be governing from the White House (after it was fumigated and exorcised).
But we have to consider this: they (the media and the rest of the Demonrats) would have destroyed her completely - and her family. I mean DESTROYED, as they did Joe McCarthy and Ken Starr, only worse. They love picking on women and blacks. Wait ‘till you see what they do to Herman Cain.
