This post from Man from Oz with actual feet on the ground in Alaska.
She'd be foolish to run with all the $$$ rolling in.
Or she could prove them wrong by running. At this point either she runs, endorses someone soon, or looks like an opportunist guaranteed. If she winds up not running or endorsing, she winds up looking like an opportunist because she has spent a lot of time looking like she is going to run for President. I mean, she’s in Iowa for Pete’s sake.
All of her negatives can be overcome by a strong campaign. Her negatives are a result of perceived negative character. If she runs a strong campaign that builds up the perception of her character and her experience, then there is no stopping her from winning the nomination and probably the White House.
“They don’t like Sarah because they see her as an opportunist...”
Sarah ABSOLUTELY, by definition, IS an opportunist.
In my mind that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Opportunities are the guns of politics. A tool for Evil, a tool for Good.
Evil giggled when Obama capitalized on this generation’s irrational white-guilt and slanted media.
Good triumphed when, for a switch, a Rino pulled BullTwinkle the Moose Killer out of a hat just as the show was snoring off into one of those Dudley DoLeft cartoons.
I’m glad the local conservative grabbed the national RINO’s ring of opportunity. Whether she runs or not, it’s nice to have another fairly consistent conservative voice in the national spotlight. But then I don’t live in Alaska.
“She’d be foolish to run with all the $$$ rolling in.”
The only way I can imagine her making less money in the long run is if she runs and loses. If that is what’s holding up the show here, then she is something worse than an opportunist. I think the technical word for it would be “chicken”.
