“Lay off Palin.
She’s held up better, and stronger, to a full-on leftwing media assault (helped by a number of turncoat “republicans”) than any Republican in recent history.
The last Republican exposed to such an assault was Newt Gingrich. He folded. IMHO that was the beginning of the end, for the GOP.
Don’t let’s make that mistake twice. Lay off.
She’s earned our respect.”
That is a fact.
O.K, this is the last thing I’ll say on the subject. It’s not going to get any easier on the next nominee, whomever he or she may be. It’s just not.
Regrettably, the media, in all its forms proved how powerful they still are. The clarion calls for the death of the MSM are premature, probably by a decade or longer. In fact, now that they seized control of power, it going to be exponentially more difficult to wrestle it back. If you thought the last 8 weeks have been savage, just wait for a TWO YEAR campaign. It will be brutal.
Superior products are frequently sent packing - anyone remember beta vs vhs? As I said before, it is all marketing and sales. Palin appealed deeply to the base, she appealed to me. But, that’s not enough - not anymore.
Politics is for big boys and girls - it’s not about respect, it’s about winning. If Palin and her supporters want any kind of shot in 2012 she needs to get better - a lot better - and that starts today.
