As my HS football coach told me, “The game isn’t played on paper...it’s played on the field!!!”
Once you’re on the field, anything can happen and things can take a life of its own. That’s why BO, DNC, MSM and the RNC elites DON’T want Palin in the race. Once in, with a campaign under her OWN control (not Steve Schmitt, 2008) things can flip and gain momentum. Simply put, they don’t want take a chance. If Barry wins, the RNC elites will just shrugg it off and court Jeb Bush for 2016.
Oh yeah, if we lose, you can write off any attempt to stop Obamacare.
Barry owns this economy with high debt, high unemployment, malaise, and a sluggish economy. If it’s Obama vs “Obama-lite” (aka: it’s my turn mantra with no emotion) Barry wins. If it’s a stark contrast of Barry vs a CONSERVATIVE (who has passion) then we got a shot. That’s why they’re dogpiling on Palin....the elite know she can do it.
One more thing, if they can take Palin down, they’ll just use the same tactic on any other GOP candidate. And if the elites expect Palin & fans just lick up the spittle and sally forth with a happy face (while supporting the RINO candidate) then they’ve got another think coming. The RINOs didn’t give a damn for the Tea Party in 2010 (except lip service) and to see them courting/sweet talking the rank-and-file in the general would be hillarious.
If Sarah loses in the 2012 primaries (and Barry wins the general), will they say in 2016 that it’s “her turn”? Don’t think so...the RNC will just babble and bobble some lamewad excuses that she’s damaged goods or too toxic.
If they can take Palin down, what shot do you think any future conservative candidate will have in the future??? GOP better be carefule or they’ll bite the hand that feeds them. They’ll go the way of the WHIGS.
