I think Santorum and Newt are still in the race, too?
Like I said, conservative candidates can and will withstand all the scrutiny, (vetting) along with lies, smears, and bashing.
Palin has withstood more than anyone and likely more than anyone else will have have to endure.
I mean, I wonder if any of the others could withstand having 26,000+ emails of theirs scrutinized?
The posting of a couple of Perry's letters from the past has resulted in screams of bashing!
FWIW, and I will repeat myself, I am against doing the democrats work for them, but pundits and journalists supposedly on our side, continue to bash and trash Palin, so they keep me busy trying to defend her.
Yes they are. ; )
