I actually was going to mention Palin in my post #44. In a way, Barnette reminds me of Palin.
Palin had a lot going for her. And she would have been a strong voice for good. But she was doomed by her many missteps, and by relentless media attacks. To this day I wonder why she didn’t get better advice. Or maybe she did, and ignored it. Who knows?
Ah, what might have been.
It’s a good comparison. I wish you guys the best of luck in the PA races...forget the polls and just pretend that it’s a 50/50 race both ways. PA is one of the biggest prizes of election night!
