If you are CNN, MSNBC, Jim Braude, Liz Trotta, the DNC, Maureen Dowd, Paul Begala, Kos etc etc etc… you have reached the conclusion that Sarah Palin is doomed Doomed DOOMED! and that anyone who supported her must be a total loon and loser and of course nobody will want to vote for her now since she’s a crazy quitter failure. (They’d like to call her ugly too but nature, physical exertion, and people’s own eyes preclude that attack from succeeding.)
If you are a person who takes all the media says as gospel you might buy that too.
Let me let you onto one little secret. She isn’t after and doesn’t need your vote. Sarah Palin could go to your grandmother’s grave lay hands on the stone and raise her from the dead and you wouldn’t support her. We know that and she knows that.
If she decides she wants to run she has to convince Republicans to nominate her, she already has a large support base, can raise ungodly sums of money and can attract bigger crowds than all the other potential candidates combined without priming the pump a la Mitt.
She has conservatives, she knows she doesn’t have liberals, all she needs to do if nominated is convince enough moderates, and if recent numbers are correct she just needs to convince just under 1/3 of them to go over the top.
She has years to do this all over the country if she chooses. Such action will draw huge crowds and attention and expose people to not the caricature of her that you paint but the actual person who exists.
To quote Robert Stacy McCain:
Just because you don’t know what Sarah Palin is doing doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know what she’s doing.
Bingo!
