It is also obvious that Palin is not going to run the conventional campaign that we have become used to. It amuses me to see how so many otherwise intelligent people have become slaves to the "conventional wisdom" that the mainstream liberal media have imposed upon us.
"It's too late" the naysayers bray, "She can't win," blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile those same folks tell us we need to ditch our Sarah Palin dreams and get behind some other blow-dried empty suit of a politician. Even though we are still months away from the first primary and well over a year away from the 2012 election, they are telling us we need to put aside our conservative principles so we can get behind a "winner" today.
This is the same attitude that gave us disastrous nominations like John McCain, Bob Dole and Jerry Ford. This is the attitude that says it is better to go with the establishment than to take our chances on a maverick who actually shares our values and can make a true difference.
Well I'm not ready to get behind Mitt Romney in cowboy boots right now. We have a chance to nominate a true patriot like Sarah Palin and anybody who is a true conservative should feel the same way.
Excellent post and I am right there with you.
