This is why I believe that one of the most self-destructive things the Republicans did over the last decade was failing to provide backup to Sarah Palin. Before she hit that national scene, she was incredibly popular in Alaska, and she has the natural charisma that would’ve made her similarly popular (putting aside the screeching abortionists and other assorted leftist maniacs) nationwide. Instead they threw her to the wolves during the campaign, and afterward, let her get hounded out of office.
Sure, it cleared the way for Romney, but now they gots nothing.
Agree 100%, regarding the treatment of Palin.
It’s also one of the main components of why I lost all faith, trust and respect in the GOP after thirty years of solid support. It demonstrated such abject dishonor. The only ultimate positive in the GOP’s action is that finally gave proof that they no longer share my ideology nor my values, so the pretense is over.
