The point I’m trying to make is, there might be another candidate who’d be as good as Palin who will not have the baggage already laid at his/her feet that Palin does. If she’s the best candidate that’s fine but being the best candidate is a combination of things. Not understanding that and taking it into account could result in four more years of Obama.
I understand what you're saying. What I'm saying is "Should we disregard our best candidate because of 'the baggage already laid at her feet' by the opposition media?"
If we do that, we are letting the opposition media define our own candidate. We are admitting defeat before we even start...
