The C4P fantasy posts used to say that even if she waited to announce till last November that she would immediately have 10s of thousands of boots on the ground going door to door around the country emailing and making phone calls that bring in a pile of grass roots $$$$ donations. Then they said the big donors would follow the small ones not wanting to miss the tidal wave bus. Then she would whip Romney and the other RINOs with one hand, or just one pinky, and American would be saved...DA-DA-DA.
That C4P site posted the most entertaining fantasies, and many here appeared to continually buy them (based on the comments) like a starving squirrel finding an acorn in the dead of winter. I even posted two of them myself for fun.
Everyone knows that if (when) Palin runs, she will run a grassroots campaign. She will rely on deep enthusiasm among an often underestimated group of supporters and a lot of small donations to drive her campaign. Win the nomination, and the deeper pockets will come along for the ride. That pretty much was her strategy in Alaska in her run for governor in 2006. But, the beginning is the tricky part. Like 2006, she has to strike hard and fast this time in order to diminish the organizational and monetary advantages that the so-called frontrunners have.

Listen to Sarah talk about grassroots and about needing the mood of the country to reveal itself in the 2010 elections. Think about the new media. We often hear Sarah talk about an “unconventional campaign.” Perhaps the more appropriate description is a “revolutionary campaign,” a campaign the likes of which we never have seen and which Sarah has spent about three years envisioning and amending as conditions changed.

It sure was a 'revolutionary campaign', and she never left her job at FNC either... LOL.
The Palin dynamic on this forum was an interesting dance.
Thankfully my dance card was full.
