My point is -—you aren’t very perceptive if you didn’t realize she wasn’t running until she made an announcement!
Personally I think that can be said of many when they get too close to the candidate and campaign that they lose the overall picture that is being displayed amongst the entire electorate.
In this case, they actually thought Palin could win the presidency. They didn't want to face reality. They just wanted to fight the people who didn't agree with them.
It didn't get any better when they moved from Sarah to Herman...never giving up that Sarah might reconsider.
I think the the infighting has diminished what FR has been in the past. A lot got the zot but more left voluntarily and took their monthly donations with them. Some of the people who were laughing several weeks ago about getting people zotted are the same people now begging for money...after running off FReepers who were loyal, monthly donors.
Unintended consequences can be a bitch!
