On the other side of this coin, the MSM, Dems, elitists of every brand, and those who now call for her to be a "cheerleader"/"king maker"/ or whatever else they say will now say, and rightly so, that she is a nobody, a has-been, and should be ignored; though they will keep on berating her and her family. By not entering the fray, Palin will legitimize every single bad thing, including the lies and caricatures that has been madeup about her, for the past 3 years.
Palin is NOT a "good assistant coach". But then, you and I don't appear to agree on anything much on this topic.
You want a " more serious candidate"? Okay, just who is more serious than Palin? I really want to know who you believe is "more serious" and BTW..........what lies in that person/s closet/s that can be used against them? If you don't know about the scandals/things that can be turned into a cause celebre, then you'd better hold on tight, should your chosen candidate get the GOP nomination!
Supposedly Reagan couldn't win the primaries, let alone the general election and he was also supposedly "polarizing". I am NOT saying that Palin is Reagan reincarnate; just posting a fact you have ignored.
Lets talk about all of the GOP candidates, declared and undeclared maybes, shall we? And that means comparing every single one of them, with just the facts.....no polls, no anecdotal stories about how so and so won't vote for a woman/Palin/whatever; just CVs. Deal?
I’m not ignoring that fact of Reagan at all. The difference is that Reagan was the Governor of California, the largest populated state in the country. He also served two terms as the Governor and didn’t quit through either one of them.
Look, I have no doubt that pressure was high on Palin, but that doesn’t mean you run out and quit on the people of the state and then a few years later you decide you want a Mulligan and this time rule the entire country. That is why SHE CANNOT WIN. People will be clamoring for why she quit. Secondly, if it was so bad then what’s to stop these same boogymen from trying to get her out as POTUS? Independents will just laugh at the entire charade.
