Heart-ache: Palin backs out of CPAC

Rush will still be there, but it’s not really “grassroots Woodstock” anymore without her. Now, because of the letdown, it’s more like grassroots Altamont: Plenty of good acts and one great one to close the show, but an angry, angry crowd nonetheless. The opening-day headliner for the annual CPAC conservative convention February 26-28, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has pulled out, citing state business in Juneau. “We’re obviously disappointed,” said a CPAC official. A spokesman for the three-day confab, organized by the American Conservative Union Foundation and others, said that Palin, the popular former vice presidential nominee, had indicated she would be able to attend but cited “duties of governing” in bowing out. Instead, she will send in a taped message. The Democrats up there have been grumbling about her being out of state so much. Maybe she figured she could either get away for the Alfalfa Dinner or CPAC but not both and had to make a hard choice. Exit question: Huckabee to replace her? The message, at least, will be similar. And he’s anti-stimulus!

Amen! I couldn't agree more. There used to be a Pray For President Bush thread. Maybe it's time to start a Pray For Governor Palin thread because she needs our prayers and our moral support as she faces the relentless assaults from both the left and the right. No one is invincible and even the strongest among us can buckle under the intense pressure of getting stabbed in both the front and the back like she has. If I were in Sarah's shoes I would have said the hell with politics, John McCain, and the preening GOP pricks a long time ago.

I also think it would be a good idea to send her letters of thanks and encouragement because just a simple thank you and a small show of gratitude can really lift a person's spirits when they're facing great tribulation.
