A good Republican tactician or strategist doesn't trash a Republican candidate after the Republican candidate wins the primary.
A good Republican tactician or strategist does rally support around that candidate.
Just like the left and Carl Rove, your emotions are effecting your point-of-view.
It is actually just the opposite - Those on here suggesting Palin is a better political strategist than Rove are the ones only using emotions. Those on here suggesting Palin is as qualified and talented as Reagan in 1980 are the ones only using emotions.
Those on here suggesting it is fine and normal for someone to do a reality show while wanting to be CinC at times like these are the ones only using emotion when understanding that reality.
