Lets put it this way: IF she support Rubio in Florida (and word is that she will eventually) and other conservatives and tea-party affiliated candidates this year for the November election, making speeches about common sense conservatism and just supporting McCain, her running mate......does that make her a betrayal or an RINO?

NO it does not, it’s a disappointment on one aspect, it’s not perfect, as no one person is perfect; but it’s not going to make you not pull that lever down for her, if it comes down to Sarah vs Obama;

she said that she was keeping her promise obviously to McCain to her detriment but can we also say that might keep her promise to support conservatives in 2010? you betcha!

I said earlier, I thought she was probably 2 for 3 in Perry, Bachmann and McLame. I also suggested in post #110 a strategy she could have employed with McLame while still maintaining her promises to all the rest of us conservatives out here.

I’m not suggesting Sarah is perfect, nor that she can be perfectly conservative. I’m not making judgment calls about her at this juncture. But I think that she lost an opportunity to nuance this in a (much) better way, and am pointing that out.

Yes, I agree that it’s a disappointment - for one that appears to have really great political instincts, almost helped Hoffman win as an independent conservative in NY23 and has provided with Demint, Rush, Beck and others a great counterpoint to the socialist child king in the WH.

So, imho, she’s 2 for 3 - good in baseball - mebbe not so good in gymnastics and politics...although bammy’s like 0 for 100...:)

Hopefully she supports Rubio, but if Rubio, then why not stay out of AZ til after the primary. That’s just baffling to me. Loyalty to him aside, what about loyalty to conservatives?

I think Sarah’s loyalty should be:
God
Family
Freedom/conservativism/Country
Political allies (McCain)

I think she got 3 and 4 mixed up. But she’s not perfect and I’m hoping she’ll raise her average...
