The only way Gov. Palin can win is by running.
One would think, based on you and yours, that her very presence can overcome any “maneuvers.” If her message is sound and her principles true, why must she game?
She's been running for four years.
If you want the same old result, go with the same old strategy.
BTW, how many successful Presidential campaigns have you advised in an official capacity?
Is there no X rated movies you can tonight?
You are starting to gross people out.
>>...If her message is sound and her principles true, why must she game?<<
Two words... Fred Thompson. His message was sound and his principles were true. He played by the rules. Got in early. A true conservative and beyond that a statesman in his manner and speech of a type we have not seen since the early days of the republic.
The media, and the Republican establishment destroyed him.
You can’t have a conservative who articulates his views exceptionally well make it to the end of the process. He might win.
Enter Palin...
What the heck is in it for her, a real conservative, to put in one minute before the legal deadline? Nothing but withstanding endless attacks from the Dems, media and Mittwit Republican establishment.
Really, there is not one single advantage to her declaring any earlier than she absolutely has to... other than people simply SAYING she should.
Why should she? To make a few of you FEEL better about her? We are conservatives here. Do we FEEL or do we THINK? Do we think she has our moral convictions? Do we think she holds our worldview? Yes? Then what difference does it make how or when she decides to run?
I’ll vote for the most conservative candidate that is sitting in front of us on the ballot and if Palin in on it, great.
I would strongly suggest developing thicker skin. The country needs it right now from all of us.
