You can’t just change reality, conservatives had one thing going for them after Obama won in Nov, 2008 and that was Governor Palin, the media kept focused on her and she kept holding her own, which gave conservatism a presence during the Obama adulation and power grab, her spark kept us in the game and in a few months she started influencing even moderates like Rick Perry to become more emboldened, and even swaggering with remarks like “secession”.

Palin was firing up conservatives and helping to elect people like Sen. Saxby Chambliss. Instead of being broken and demoralized while the party and the media focused on Mitt Romney as the natural leader of the right, Palin kept us on the front pages and helped create an aggressive, confident, conservative, counterpoint to the normal narrative and roles, that the media and the Rockefeller/Romney GOP would have taken.

Regardless of your own goals and intents, there is a reason why conservatives support Governor Palin, and why she is the Key Note speaker at the National Tea Party Convention.

Hey, per reply #70 and millions of others similar posted here, what if Sarah Palin (just a hypothetical), is really a big spending, open borders, compassionate, no child left behind, more benefits for seniors and single Mom’s : RINO (just a hypothetical). BUT at the same time she gets the republican ‘base’ all worked up and enthused. Is that all we need??? I mean who cares about the future? If it feels good now! What if she is changing things now.... you getting excited yet??
