I guess Parnell has to worry about his own political career, although he would be unwise to attack Palin.
But with Lisa Murkowski stepping in and regaining the Senate, much of the good work that Palin did in ousting the so-called Corrupt Bastard’s Club has now been undone. I suspect that the corrupt Republicans who used to flourish there will make a return. I don’t know if Parnell has the strength and ability to fight that, or if he will be forced to go along with it, or simply forced out.
You’re probably right. Parnell didn’t strike me as the kind of person to stand up if under pressure. I watched Palin the day she made the announcement she was resigning and Parnell appeared to be somewhat of a mouse. Of course this is only mo and based on impressions.
