While I am not going to subject myself to 5 minutes of MoDo bile I can’t help but feel (from the excerpt) she makes the correct point that Palin has become more celebrity than serious political figure. She may be able to get back in the game as a representative or maybe even a Senator but until then I think she has diminished much of her political capital.
I (completely) disagree.
I believe Palin has the biggest out of the box, ready to go voting block in either party.
What remains to be seen is, does Palin want to be our President.
I still think the left is scared out of their mind by Palin. They respect her, and that’s the thing that is scary.
Before Walker was doing it to the unions, she was taking on HER OWN CORRUPT PARTY in Alaska. The left and right got together to bankrupt her through lawsuits. She had no choice but to bail. McCain hired her because he had zero credibility, even within the establishment. The left liked him better than the right, but not enough to vote for him for President.
Palin is a bankroll and serious campaign consulting away from holding any office she wants. The left knows this.
If she does take office, she’ll stop, and partially reverse the damage to the federal court system.
Beyond Cruz, I don’t see another candidate doing that.
