Yep, something fishy there, her base is still expanding down where the boots on the ground are.
The fact that the GOP still lets New Hampshire and Iowa play such a disproportionate role in the nominating process shows how out of touch it is with reality.
Well, as one who works “where the boots on the ground are,” i.e., at the county level of the party, I don’t see it. Quite the contrary, I’ve spoken at several Tea Parties in the last few months, and they all are lamenting that their numbers are significantly down. At the HQ, we don’t see an influx of people wanting to work for Palin. It’s usually the same people who have walked precincts for years and who will, quite honestly, campaign for whomever the nominee is. More important to me, I see no indication whatsoever of a Palin organization anywhere in Ohio. No one is contacting anyone, no one is lining up volunteers, nothing. So if her “boots on the ground” are expanding, I don’t see it in OH, which is a key state.
