1) She quit. spin it, massage it, tell people to go see the movie (as the Toddster did in Iowa), put all the lipstick on it you want...nothing will change the fact. It may have been a good decision from a personally financial perspective but it was fatal for any national political ambitions. America doesn't like quitters. All the magical thinking and idle wishing by her acolytes on Free republic will do nothing to stop the left and the media from hammering that home non-stop. The ads, posters, bumber-stickers, t-shirts and Tina Fey skits on SNL just write themselves.
2) Conservatives do not have the numbers to win alone. The next POTUS will need 68-72 million votes to win. Of these at least 10-15 million will have to be self-defined independents who voted for obama last time out. Palin(™) is the polar opposite of their last vote. They are not going to do a complete one-eighty in enough numbers for her to win.
Only two? Must be off your usual game today...
If you think the Marxist will get anywhere near 70M votes, then we should all hang it up because the destruction of our Republic will be a certainty.
I think the Marxist will try and steal this election through massive fraud. As a backup, he has undertaken enough destruction that if he loses, there is no way for our Republic to be restored, short of a Revolution.
