This afternoon on Tammy Bruce she made it very clear...she said if the establishment continues to attack Tea Party Americans (and her), it would mean the destruction of the GOP.

Of course, as we've talked, the ruling class GOP may not care. They may prefer Obama to Reagan conservatism. Pray for our country.
“if the establishment continues to attack Tea Party Americans (and her), it would mean the destruction of the GOP.”
I am betting, Al, that the country will have decided to fire Obama in 2012. The GOP nominee will be the favorite. And the Establishment won’t be able to do anything about it. I could be wrong, but I think that is how it is shaping up.
They can destroy a novice candidate in a liberal state (DE)or a corrupt state (AK).
The United States is a whole different kettle of fish. Trying to do that in Florida, Michigan, Ohio or Wisconsin is not nearly as easy. They simply don’t have the ideological of organizational grip on those states.
And anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is a “novice candidate”, who can be rolled this way, is a fool. She is a politician of the first order. If she is running a campaign herself (not just endorsing, but making the decisions), I would never count it out. If she is both running the campaign and is herself the candidate, the odds of success are even higher, and a favorable poltical climate (ie-if the economy is not much better in 2012; unemployment below 7% which is highly unlikely) would make her invincible. In other words, her political savvy, plus her political skills (charisma, if you will) added to favorable circumstances for a challenger will make her next to unbeatable in a national election.
