It’s not surprising that the majority of FReepers love and adore Sarah Palin. But we do not sway elections. Yes, Democrats fear her .. but so do Independents. Without the latter, you don’t win elections.
“Every candidate she has endorsed ends up winning” a Republican primary. Who, exactly, votes in Republican primaries? ta da .. conservatives! I don’t recall her being involved in either VA or NJ last year for the general, statewide elections, and can’t recall her endorsing either man at the top of the ticket. IIRC, the VA candidate asked her to stay out of the race, so that scenario is more likely in bluer NJ.
We won’t even know for sure after the ‘10 elections how her Right endorsements played because of the historically high anti-incumbent sentiment.
Right now there is no one on the GOP horizon that *I* would rather see carry the GOP banner in ‘12, but, frankly, I don’t think she can win. Not without a seachange in attitudes across the USA. I fear she’s been successfully Borked or Quayled. And I think she knows that but will use her influence where it can do some good.
So what you are looking for is a candidate who doesn’t make waves such as not telling Boma where he is wrong,
tells the MSM what they want to hear so they don’t attack
that candidate.
No thanks, I will support Sarah Palin who can take care of herself vs. the MSM .
I don’t let the MSM tell me who to support
That independent equals moderate is leftist propaganda (from Democrats and from RINOS).
The focus guy on FoxNews has shown that independents are NOT moderates, and that the vast majority of independents are conservative, far more conservative than either the Democrat communists or the RINO "moderates".
