I love learning more about her from you. I treasure your comments.
Thank you very much for replying, dear Eska.
Thanks for the ping, Onyx. I really enjoyed the article and the comments by Eska. (I must say that I wish she had taken out Lisa Murkowski in 2004, then beaten her old man in 2006; That way she could have appointed a conservative successor and retired the Murkowskis from politics.)
SP is an insurgent. She doesn’t need the Establishment nor does she want them. I saw an article in Politico touting (don’t laugh) Haley Barbour, and Fred Malek, the genius whom managed the 37% 1992 Bush debacle and who opined that SP is not doing the right things to prepare to run (whatever that means), said Barbour would be at the head of the pack. I really can’t wait for 2012, because I want to watch them weep and scurry around and then come looking for jobs in the Palin administration. I hope she boots the lot of them into the Potomac.
There is something inherently trustworthy about Sarah, though I don't agree with her endorsement of McCain in the Arizona primary, I'm cognoscente of the need for her to pay back some political dues. McCain, after all, helped make her a national figure by picking her to be on his ticket. Turning her back on him would have been depicted as an insult not only to McCain and also the GOP, and the yellow journalism of the liberal media would have been given more material to attack and diminish her. If she didn't support McCain, she would have been seen as disloyal and a back-stabber.
On the other hand, she has endorsed McCain and campaigned for him early in this election cycle, leaving enough time for JD to make his case and possibly win this thing. We are about 4 months before the Arizona primary, and in a recent poll JD is only 5 points behind McCain. This tells me that JD has a big chance of winning.
As for Sarah, she is never afraid to point out Obama's dangerous policies and she reliably fights for what is right.
