“My sense of the whole situation is that after all the rest destroy each other Palin will step in and all the negative from the conservatives and the independents will fade away.”
That’s a pretty cynical strategy but it won’t work.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
Teddy Roosevelt
Good lord! You think Palin hasn’t built her way up and gone through the ringer already? The current crowd hasn’t seen half the MSM critique that Palin has. Cynical my arse. Trust me I know the difference between cynicism and realism. Palin knows where she’s been and has read The Art of War. My statement had no cynicism in it. It’s how wars are won.
