I'd say its a tad early for that statement and I very much doubt even you believe it. You and others seem to find the power of Palin’s words threatening. Your reaction to Sarah's speech strongly suggests you believe the exact reverse of what you claim to believe — that the speech will work very well indeed and help propel Palin into a dominant position in the 2012 nominating contest. My guess is that this speech in general and the phrase “blood libel” in particular will mark a milestone in here ascent to such a position. A large number of people who did not previously consider her presidential material will start to reconsider and her upward trajectory will get steeper.
Time will tell. Let's revisit the discussion in about six months.
Just watch out for the reaction of the left.
That will tell you more than anything.
From what I see, they’re reacting as expected,
like a bunch of undead sprayed with holy water.
I think the speech was a good one except for the use of these two words in the way they were used, and I wish the speech would lend her credibility in the 2012 race but I see the two words getting in the way of that.
But as you say, time will tell. Just don’t think I have some bizarre ulterior desire and am incapable of rational thought.
