Perry did not look great in this debate...but at least he showed up. Debates are an important part of the primary process.. Sarah could have been on stage tonight but chose not to. So she’s either not running, or she has no respect for the process, or she’s afraid to debate. All good reasons to not vote for her.
There is a reason why Sarah Palin avoids any hostile interviewer like the plague. There is a reason why Sarah Palin only agrees to cream puff interviews on FOX with Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren.
Sarah Palin, like Obama, reads a great prepared speech. However, when thrown the slightest curve ball that she is not expecting, all Sarah Palin does is to tap dance furiously as she embarrassingly fills up air time hoping that the interviewer moves on.
Katie Couric Interview Video: Sarah Palin Can't Name a Newspaper She Reads
That is how Katie Couric destroyed Sarah Palin on prime time television simply by insisting that Palin put a name to any particular newspaper she reads.
Imagine Palin up on that debate stage, without the benefit of cream puff questions.
Perry is done , I will vote for Romney before Perry. Perry says the greatest country ever can’t build a fence.
I don’t want Romney, but after tonight I want Romney before Perry.
Perry is toast.
It’s time for Palin to get in or Romney will be the next President.
I disagree, I think Sarah is smart sitting out this early stage of the process. All the candidates are doing now is introducing themselves to the primary voters. We already know Sarah, she needs no introduction. And as Newt has repeatedly pointed out, the media is just playing "got ya" with these early debates. Sarah is too smart to play their (media) game with the dice loaded in their (media) favor.
If Sarah wants in, she has time to get in.
