Is Sarah's opinion relevant? In the end, JD still has to run a race against McCain. It wouldn't matter if Goldwater himself endorsed him from the grave. He still ran a crappy campaign and got his behind handed to him.
He lost fair and square, and he needs to honor his pledge of supporting McCain in the general election to secure as many Republicans seats as possible.
Sarah’s opinions on anything and everything are very relevant, because she’s considered one of the major contenders for ‘12 POTUS. Only Sarah’s official end to any run for ‘12 POTUS will, also, end her being under the microscope.
Sarah didn’t just “endorse” McCain, she campaigned for him, did robo calls for him, and did fund raisers for him. She made it very clear to the republicans in Arizona that she fully backed McCain because he was the most conservative person running.
Do not agree with you on the "fair and square". This was a "Celebration Party", where was Deaken (sp)? If JD said that he would support McCain in the General Election he will. He is a man for the Country, a rare thing these days.
