That’s one of the great debates we’re having right now and it’ll be alive in the 2012 election. Repeal of obamacare or not. Huge government spending on entitlements or not.
Simply put, the DNC/RNC/MSM CANNOT have Sarah in the race. It’s one thing to fantasize “what ifs” or “will they run” it’s another thing when said person runs and it takes a life of its own.
1992: Bush 41 at 89% approval only to flame out to Bubba
2008: Hillary’s “coronation” got whackec by “Mr. I Vote Present”
They CANNOT afford to have her in the RNC debates
They CANNOT afford to have her stumping and handshaking
They CANNOT afford to have her winning primaries
They CANNOT afford to have her accepting the RNC nomination at St. Petersburg with a nation-wide audience.
They CANNOT afford to have her one-on-one against Obama in a nation-wide debate(s). Oh gawd, that just CAN’T happen. Obama thinks he’s a great orator but in a free flowing debate (minus the TOTUS) he’s a fish out of water.
They simply can’t take that chance. Period. Zip-zero-nada. It’s like the playoffs. How many times have we seen an “underdog” catch a spark and take it to the top? It’s pretty freakin amazing when the status quo folks get bitch slapped like a $5 tart.
To get an idea why the elites hate her, just check out this article: “I still hate you Sarah Palin” by David Kahane.
