I understand what you’re saying....BUT:
The marxist media cannot hit Palin with anything new - they “shot their wad”, so to speak.
Once the GOP candidate is determined, tThe marxist media will ht them with anything and everything - even false accusations.
If Palin is the GOP candidate, she can easily convert the independents with personal appearances, debates and an advertising campaign to “correct the record”.
That Palin has the highest favorabikity rating of ALL of the GOP candidates speaks volumes of her support from the base.
Palin is THE expert on the connection between Energy, Economy, national Security and Personal Freedom - no one else comes close.
No other GOP candidate will have that level of support and, in fact, would create a 3rd party movement that would guarantee an Ozero victory.
"If Palin is the GOP candidate, she can easily convert the independents with personal appearances, debates and an advertising campaign to correct the record."
You've summarized my own position exactly.
