But like it or not, Obama is going to raise somewhere in the neighborhood of one billion dollars. Even if that’s doubled by hype, it’s still 500 hundred million.

I don’t care how grass roots your campaign is, if you can’t raise adequate funds against the coming Obama onslaught (and don’t forget all the MEGA MEDIA COVERAGE he gets FOR FREE), then how in heck are the Republicans supposed to have a prayer?

I know what Palin’s point is, corruption is corruption, but I just don’t know if tactically, or even strategically, this is the right “cause” to take up right now.

How about ObamaCare? A GIGANTIC specific evil doing GIGANTIC specific damage? (And it DOES happen to be a SINGLE PARTY EVIL. No moral equivalence possible.)

What if it takes a lot of fund-raising to bring Obama and ObamaCare down?

Justified? Not justified?

I mean really, Sarah, WTF?

Are we fighting Obama or are we picking our feet in Poughkepsie?

I’m not at all worried about Obama’s huge campaign money.
There will be so much spent by both sides in 012 that the average voter will be sick and tired of campaign commercials by the middle of September.

If the contest were merely one of which candidate has been heard the most, Obama would walk away with it. But hopefully people will stay focused on what makes sense for them. The Obama depression and mismanagement has come home to them personally and no they don’t believe in Hope And Change version 3.2. Obama publicity may be its own worst enemy for its palpable hypocrisy.

Americans aren’t going to vote the candidate’s pocketbooks in 2012 - they’re going to vote their own.

What’s Obama done for your pocketbook lately?

I would submit that it is the right cause. Obamacare is a result of the stink and corruption in Washington. So many favors and so much taxpayer money got doled out to pass this monstrosity. Kill this and something else will pop up because nearly everyone in Washington openly practices the buying and selling of votes.

Drain the swamp. I don't hold out much hope that it will change but Palin knows exactly why Washington is broke.
