Wrong. Put Sarah up against the disaster that is Barack Obama and you get plenty of ammo on Sarah’s side. So, please...that ‘quit’ thing is old and won’t stick with the general public who are suffering because of Obama. The bloody country is a mess and Obama’s foreign policy is less than pathetic. And you’re saying Sarah will be disqualified by the public because she resigned? Btw, she did resign.
You forget that the vast majority of American voters are basically clueless.
There’s no question that the Rats would use her resignation against her if she got the nomination, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Romney pulled the same stunt in the primaries.
The only unknown is how bad it will hurt her in the general, and that largely depends on the state of the economy a year from now.
If somehow Obama manages to keep the ship afloat, or maybe even score a victory of some sort in international affairs (as unlikely as that might seem), he will be much harder to beat, and the Rat argument that we need to “stay the course instead of going with an unproven quitter” will ring true to more of the sheeple.
If, on the other hand, things get much, much worse (certainly possible), then the “anyone but Obama” argument will be more effective.
I would have no problem voting for Palin in the general, but in the primary, I can’t say that until I have a better idea who is actually running.
