Well, here’s a quandary: should we wonder if Romney’s holding his breath and is that a good or a bad thing?
I wouldn’t bet that trying to scorch Sarah Palin is all that effective. It worked against national newcomer Christine O’Donnell, but then she kind of piled on herself. Sarah is now toughened, and doesn’t add fuel to her own fire (not that she has to: all she has to do is exist to draw fire). Rove might well continue to try to undermine her, but if someone doesn’t like her, it won’t be because Karl Rove said mean things.
So if Romney is standing there with baited breath waiting for Karl Rove to knock Sarah over, he might well have to take a breath or...never have to. So, is this a good or a bad thing? One simply ponders... :P
