The MSM would use the phrase “smokey back room” 50,000 times an hour from opening day of the convention until the day Gingrich (or Palin) is defeated by Obama.
Palin is what CPAC was meant to be.
It’s the voice that is needed and it will be supported.
Don’t be affraid.
If the electorate see’s no obvious difference it will go with what it knows. That is how Obama would be win a second term.
