“All Palin has to do is announce, and the grassroots will respond instantly.”
That’s true. Unfortunately the grassroots doesn’t have the numbers to get her elected.
JMHO but she didn’t run in 2012 because she knows she doesn’t have the numbers and if she runs and loses it ends her career as a pundit and political celebrity.
Were she to run and lose, half her support would evaporate overnight and the remainder would slowly fade forcing her into total irrelevance.
Much smarter for her to stay on the path she’s on now. Book deals and TV appearances. She doesn’t have to watch what she says or worry about governing effectively.
“All Romney has to do is announce, and the grassroots will respond instantly.”
and boy did they did....you could hear the crickets!!!!!
Without the base you have NOTHING. With the base (and cranking out the turnout) all things are possible.
