It was an inspiring speech. I’m always inspired by Sarah Palin’s speeches. But I’ve learned through hard experience that no matter how inspired I am, Palin’s unpopularity among the electorate remains un-dented post-speech.
I’m a Perry supporter(even though I know he has flaws, some of them possibly severe), but I have no problem with Palin holding Perry’s feet to the fire. In fact, I hope she does run. She needs to repair her image, and that’s going to take diligent work in the most serious of forums(such as Republican debates) and in places where less politically inclined voters will see her(which for a lot of people *is* a Republican debate.) I think it’s too high a hill for her to climb in 2012, but I’ll be very happy if I’m wrong about that. If she gains traction among independents and not just the conservative faithful, I’ll more than likely(actually almost certainly) switch my support to her.
How comforting a fair-weather friend you are to Sarah Palin.
You just miss the whole thing by a mile? She’s running against both parties, no one is running current or in the past since Reagan did it. Plus she’s pro free market not pro business (there’s a difference) from the corporate shilling of the Republican party....that runs right up with what independents like to hear but Sarah doesn’t do this to cater towards any group! If you read her book American by Heart she spells out a lot of things because that’s who she is - not a due in the wool republican but an conservative
Perry yuck!!! Listen to this Texan. He is not the one!!!
It is are virtue to hope for second best, because you are never disappointed.
