And as to her “”cCain” point, many people had some hope when Palin was chosen that McCain might in some way “get it.” But this is going on four years later, and a lot has happened since then. The Republican establishment has made it very clear - it appears to relish - that it is as much an enemy of the Tea Party as the Democrats. In some ways, more so - one expects 9rhetorical) shots from the other side, not one’s own. Yet they want us to vote for them come election day.
Does anyone even bother with donating to any Republican committees anymore? With the internet, it’s easy to just pick individual candidates to organize behind and support.
The parties are in roughly the same situation as the record companies are when it comes to music - technology means that the “artists” and the people can pass them by and link up directly.

No party donations for me.
Not since Newt Gingrich endorsed Dede Scozzafava in NY-23 House race.
Sarah Palin endorsed the pro-life tea party guy, and I sent him money.
Since then, I’ve only sent $ to individual politicians.
