“You dont bail half way through a job and still come out as a success.”
Obama did it. He quit his first term in the Senate and campaigned for President from the first day he took office.
Conservatives don’t win because they can’t get together and support one candidate. That is the Democrat’s ace in the hole in most elections.
Ok, so Obama did it but remember he moved into another elective office. People are forgiving of that, see GW Bush in Texas. He left the gov mansion in Texas the same way as Obama in the Senate. But what Palin did it walk away completely. Americans like a winner, and that is like taking the ball and going home cause you dont like the game.
