I’m here to taunt the Sarahbots who get all bent out of shape at the whisper of “psst... John McCain lives”
That's fairly obvious...
So Palin, despite almost single-handedly resurrecting conservatism, has endorsed McCain. Cry me a fecking river. And I was amongst those who, at the time, were very vocal in censuring her for this 'unexplainable lapse'. So Palin did something I didn't approve of. I had a choice - continue to pout or suck it up and move forward.
Sure, it would be nice if we lived in a perfect world where only bona fide conservatives ran and got elected. But back in the real world it is somewhat an act of self-flaggelation to support candidates who can only manage to attract 16%, 1%, or less, of the votes in their own Party.
I honestly believe that many who are thinking about seeking the GOP nod in '12 are remaining on the sidelines until they know what Mrs Palin will do. Only a self-centered, delusional fool would face this lady in the primaries.
