If Palin did not know the style of attacks that were coming then she has no business being in politics. Geesh
What an absurd appproach to defend her. You act as though she is a hothouse flower that needs protection. Politics are bloodsport and she knows it.
She willingly participates.
Thing about what really happened.
I believe the style of the attacks and the personal nature of the attacks caught Sarah Palin off guard. Not only Sarah Palin, but the entire campaign Steve Schmidt and others.
Steve Schmidt called Mary Matalin upset and had no idea what to do.
Schmidt didn’t care for Sarah Palin personally. But he wanted to win and there was nothing in the playbook to deal with those type of attacks
What happened to Sarah in 2008 was not normal.
