I earned my stripes many years ago volunteering and moved up back in the day as well. Mainly local but some national campaigns at the local level, so I too know from whence I speak

So again I have to ask, given your client base as described, is insulting and showing out in front of their core demographic set as is represented by many here on FR a wise course?

And before you go and say something stupid like “you dumba$$s don't represent yada yada yada” you list Haley Barbour as a former client and I have been a long time Barbour supporter. If he so chooses to run nationally it will also be the first time in almost 20 years that I will actually come out and work in any given significant capacity for a politician.

So I am your core demographic Matt.

I also am quite fond of Palin. She has a certain charisma and bearing that is political gold if handled correctly. That you don't see that is a tick odd given your "political creds" but that is another matter.

So tell me I am an idiot, an ass, a back bencher etc.

Let me illustrate something. You said:

"She has a certain charisma and bearing that is political gold if handled correctly."

Notice the slight qualification in there? Do you really want a nominee who has to be handled?

As far as expressing my mind - no, I'm cool with it. Most campaigns I work with I am so far under the radar it is untraceable. IE - subcontracting.

And I really WOULD like to see Haley run and then we might work together. Although he has some pretty damning problems (paid foreign lobbyist for the Mexican governor - is that worse than being a paid by Romney? har har) to overcome.

Funny, we might be on RINO defense for him on FR.
