I know all the arguments, I know all the reasons, I respect all the arguments, I understand all the reasons, but the fact is that her quitting the Alaska Governorship is a big, big, obstacle for her in the general election, and she is smart enough to know that, even though many of her most zealous supporters are not.
This is what’s causing her delay. Trying to figure out if there is a way around that obstacle. It’s a very big obstacle.
I love Sarah Palin but I’m not too stupid to see the obstacle for what it is: a big, fat, major wallopolooza of an obstacle.
Sarah's accomplishments as governor of Alaska are memorable, and her dedication to the rest of America is vividly evident in her Tea Party activities.
I thik Sarah fleft the governor's job to set the stage for her entry in the Presidential race, and that she will run based on her opinion as to what's best for America.
To me, Sarah is clearly the best candidate we can hope for.
Goldwater, in your heart you know he is right.
“I love Sarah Palin but I’m not too stupid to see the obstacle for what it is: a big, fat, major wallopolooza of an obstacle.”
There is even more. She also resigned from the Oil and Gas Commission. This is less known but would come to light if she ran. Two near back to back resignations is an insurmountable obstacle. She knows this made her unelectable.
Agreed, but that's sort of what a primary is all about.
The candidates all need to put their best foot forward and make the sale to the voters. That includes getting all the facts of their negatives out in the open, and to let the voters decide whether those negatives are true/false, or whether they're deal-breakers or not.
I think Sarah's got what it takes to have that conversation with the voters, and I also think that once voters have all of the facts about what caused her to resign, they'll see that she did the right thing for the people of her state.
