I don’t much like Palin and I don’t want her to run for President.
Still... there is a divide between the establishment and the insurgents and the establishment blames the insurgents for not helping them win in states like DE, CO, NV and WA where establishment candidates might have prevailed. Of course there is no evidence for that proposition.
What it comes down to is the GOP needs conservatives during an election but afterwards it wants them to go to back of the bus, sit and down and be quiet until it needs them again.
In WA State, we were force fed the “establishment candidate”. And he still lost. Again. Just like I figured he would.
If the establishment candidate couldn't even survive the Republican PRIMARY, why does the GOP establishment think that person would have gotten more votes than the conservative did in the General election? There was exit polling date in DE that showed that even Mike Castle wouldn't have won against Chris Coons. So much for the vaunted establishment candidate.
