Hey Norm. I respect your fulfillment of your agreement, and I REALLY respect your chiding of the most virulent cultists. I personally have been chiding them another way -- provocation -- by saying things about Sarah that I actually don't believe, in order to make them break their teeth, their jaws clench so hard. In that way I hope to wake them up.

You are not a cultist -- although you label yourself as one -- so it's reasonable to offer to you this: Sarah has diminished her influence. Not by not running, that's fine, but the MANNER in which she 'didn't run'. Bus tours? Movies? And the length of her decision? Not cool.

Can you see what I mean?

Exactly!.....it was abrupt....and weird....and it left folks, who care, with their heads spinning.

Strangely enough I woke up this morning feeling a bit hopeful again after watching Michelle Bachmann on with Brett Baier and his usual group ie, Steve Hayes, Charles Krauthammer, etc. at the 6PM newshour.

She was informed, strong and direct.

Don't know whether she has what it takes to go the distance.....but I'm thinking she does.
