Ted Cruz is this year’s Sarah Palin. His announcement is likely being rehearsed on SNL as we speak.
The difference was Palin came in very very late. She was basically unknown nationally until September 2008 when the R convention was held (latest convention ever). The MSM was able to define her quickly with little time to respond.
The Cruzer is gonna have plenty of time to spar with his opponents. He’s certainly not my top choice, but we’ll see if anybody can come up with enough dough to tackle Jebbie.
