Exactly...but that's fundamentally different than what you said here:
But we’re dealing with POLITICIANS for the most part in the GOP. The Left is composed of die-hard ideologues and why we need a natural conservative ideologue (Palin has it from head to toe) to head the party.
The house cleaning will follow. Some districts will be harder to scrub down.
Influence flows upward, not downward...the national GOP does not help. It can just get out of the way of state reform; it cannot cause it.
I’ll take it from wherever it flows. If Sarah Palin is waving the flag, it could speed up the process. Her Supreme Court oversight and other legal appointments is vital. The courts have taken too much power away from the voters — so there you have a loop back around to the states.
