Palin’s move is helping to identify those Beltway-RINO-establishment party operatives (sorry, Karl), so we will be less inclined to be taken in by them. This is the every-generation fight for the Republican Party that must be fought, and Palin is clearly our candidate for this generation.
Total agreement. I would *never* call Karl Rove a RINO but he is an inside-the-beltway guy. He *may* eventually get behind a strong and succeeding Palin but he is clearly not jumping on her bandwagon early on.
We'll see how it works out over the long term. Rove could come over under the right circumstances but it will be late in the game IMO.
