Isn't that SPE-shul! America had a crappy 2012 and will have a crappy 2013, 2014 . . . Had she put her money where her mouth is and jumped into the ring, we would have had a candidate far more viable than any of the others the 'Pubbies put up. If she was waiting for Christmas, time's up and it's too late for her to do anything.
As for Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz gave us Ted Cruz. Sarah's endorsement didn't do as much to get him elected as his record and his own campiagn did, not to mention David Dewhurst's abominable campaign.
I disagree.
Palin chose to sit out the last election. Probably because of the age of her daughters.
They will be grown by 2016.
That is the year that matters. If she runs in 2016, she will have my, and a whole lot of FReepers enthusiastic support. Rock solid.
If however she holds out again, I believe she is done.
Up to her. I seriously hope she stands up this time.
America needs big help.
You talk about Palin with such a vile and hateful, and dishonest tongue, and pretend that you support her, what a fake.
While Romney and you guys were shutting her out of the convention and headlining Chris Christie, Palin gave us our only Senate seat pick-up in 2012 with Deb Fischer in Nebraska, and no one disputes that, they just ignore that stunner of a victory, isn’t that “special”?
Palin also gave us Ted Cruz in Texas, at least according to Cruz, isn’t that “special”?
“”Ted Cruz says Sarah Palin’s endorsement was ‘game-changing’ in his Senate win””
“the Texas Republican Senate nominee called Palin’s endorsement “game-changing.”
“If you look at the senate races across the country this cycle and last cycle, Governor Palin has had a game changing impact one after the other,” explained Cruz.
Palin endorsed Cruz, a Tea Party favorite who shares her philosophy of liberty and limited government, just days before a wide-open May 29 primary, helping to propel Cruz into a strong second place showing. The Cruz surge provided momentum for his runoff battle with Dewhurst.
“Fighters like Ted Cruz can lead the charge for us,” former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said in July when she came to Texas to campaign with Cruz, calling him a “a proven, common-sense constitutional conservative.”
The Tea Party favorite admitted that many have referred to his victory as “improbable.” He told Allen that the reason why Palin’s endorsement has had such an enormous impact is because voters consider her a true barometer of conservatism.
“In a Republican primary, everyone claims to be conservative and voters are pretty cynical. They are tired of these candidates that sounds great on the stump. They say they are going to cut spending, they get into the office and they become spineless jellyfish,” Cruz said. “I think conservatives trust Sarah Palin that if she says this guy is a conservative, that he is a real deal.”
