Whether you like it or not Palin has been successfully demonized by the media over the last few years.
The only way she can overcome what she has been portrayed as is to PROVE that it’s a lie. She can only do that by performing well in the debates against the others.
If she thinks she can just jump in a few weeks before the first primaries and skip having to prove herself against the others that are running, she’s got another thing coming.
Even I wont vote for her unless I see her perform well in the debates, especially against Romney. And I am a strong supporter of hers. I don’t know a single person who likes Palin as much as I do, because everyone else has been swayed by the media’s coverage of her. It may be unfair, but she doesn’t have a chance in heck of winning without changing A LOT of peoples minds. And ads and stump speeches alone is not going to cut it.
Reagan never entered til November. He did just fine... and the thing he got coming...he won!
I wouldn't fret about Palins's plans...she's held her own and then some without our advice or comments....and her timing has been perfect....not forgetting of course she understands this elction (war) and knows well when to strike and when to hunker down.
