I don’t believe that for a second. If Rove detects a whiff of a candidate being off the establishment reservation leash he would knife them in the back to fast it would make jack the ripper look like he only knew how to use a bent butter knife.
I like Palin. She is the only person right to tackle the MSM & certainly she would be better than the current one. Having said that, ANY candidate has to have the “establishment” support if that ‘s what it is called. Without Party establishment support, NO candidate can win the election. Winning nomination is one thing & election is another.
