Everyone in the public eye gets death threats. If you are a politician or celebrity, you deal with it. Anyone who claims that is a factor in their political calculation is just BSing. "Oh I was getting death threats" is right up there with "needed to spend more time with my family" on the list of excuses politicians use to bow out of a race or quit their jobs. And you can't "guarantee" Palin gets more death threats than Obama, in fact I rather doubt it since her position as news commentator is not even close to as significant as Commander in Chief. Palin didn't want to run for president, period. She's not running indie, she's not going to reconsider because of some silly "draft Palin" attempt. It's done, over, people need let it go.
As you’re one of the leading PDSers out there, you’ll excuse me if I disregard your opinion.
You have no idea what is going on - or has already happened - behind the scenes and no one is going to talk about it with you.
