There are people who have been chomping at the bit for Sarah to support McCain, just so they can trash her. They’ve been hoping for it. You know that too, Bruce.

There is your orginal nutty statement from your #139 where you purport to divine the motives, by some psychic means, of posters here who do not agree with you, and do not agree with Sarah's decision to support McCain. Pretty presumptuous of you to tell others that they don't really mean what they are posting, but that they mean what you say they mean. - You need to think about how insulting that is to people with honest opinions that do not align precisely with yours.

There are people here, including me, who have been hoping that Sarah would take this year to establish herself and her positions on the issues so she might be a viable candidate in 2012. Campaigning with Juan McCain is about the worst possible way to do that.

But don't let me confuse you with the facts, and the real motives of posters who disagree with you. Your phone is ringing again and The Psychic Hotline has more information for you.

"that Sarah would take this year to establish herself and her positions on the issues so she might be a viable candidate in 2012..."

Stumping for McCain IS a part of becoming a viable Republican candidate in 2012. The fair-weather backers of Palin were going to drift regardless, because eventually she was going to do something RINO (in their eyes) anyway...no big loss.

To play in the Republican big leagues, you have to understand how the game works. Losing primary candidates are on top of the list for the next election.(Romney, Huckabee). Losing Presidential VP candidates are nowhere and tend to fade away. One way back is kissing some establishment butt, shaking the right hands, talking the right talk. It takes a while and may be all for naught, but it looks like Palin is heading in that direction. Very savvy...magritte
