People like Jennifer Rubin fear her because they believe her nomination will doom the GOP's chances of taking the WH in 2012. It's a perfectly reasonable concern IMO.
I like Sarah a lot but will not advocate her until I see evidence that she can attract independents. I just dont see it at this time.
And of course the GOP fallback is, if she can’t win, we should run a Rudy or Mitt, who can win.
And then what?
We get RINO’s like McCain who still don’t win and, if they did, would just be socialist-lites, aka Dems, aka, libs.
We’ve been down that road.
The GOP said Reagan couldn’t win.
The candidate that proudly and coherently states the conservative case will win.
I’m not sure if that is Palin, but she is doing more than any other Republican or conservative at this point, and I refuse to jump on the Alinsky bandwagon of ridicule just because that is the momentum the left is trying to generate and which all-too-often pulls independence and conservatives along too.
