But Sarah can’t win without all the Republicans either. Once the Primaries are done everyone will step in line with the candidate. This is the last thing we need is division. I think both sides are so immature. I have heard folks say that if Sarah doesn’t get nominated I am not voting and I have heard folks say that if Sarah is nominated I am not voting. How immature responses from both sides. It is totally ridiculous but that is politics for you.
Absolutely pathetic.
I'd agree with this. So my question would be: Are Palin supporters going to get behind another candidate should he/she win the nomination? Or as I've heard so often on FR, in past elections, "If so and so doesn't get the nomination, I'm staying home" or "I will not cast my vote for such and such, even if he wins the GOP nomination."
Most of his posts are well worth reading.
Follow-up PING!!!
Palin supporters did not start this fire.
The Rino/DNC/MSM war room are working together to keep her from even entering the primary.
I would not be surprised if her supporters decided they wanted nothing to do with the weak and cowardly Republican Party.
Problem is that Sarah Palin is not going to get elected if she cannot pull more people into her camp. I know the Kool Aid drinkers here tend to think that she is a shoo in but outside of their rabid base there are wide patches of the American voting base who outright will not vote for her or who do not consider her their second or even third choice.
I really like Sarah Palin, I love her politics. She is great.
That said, her running for President would be a bad move. What she is doing now is exactly what is needed, she is keeping the Republicans on the straight and narrow.
Then again, Rollins has had better days. This is another attempt by a GOP establishment insider to denigrate Palin because she dares to step up and speak out and challenge the Republicans Good Old Boys Club.
Let Palin be Palin. Let the current crop of presidential wannabees rise or fall on their own strengths and weaknesses.
All I can say is that these two years of the establishment GOP continually back-stabbing and bad-mouthing Sarah has had serious consequences regarding my 30-year voting allegiance to the Republican Party. I’m feeling very little connection to it nowadays, if not outright disgust.
This title is correct, which means the one candidate we don’t want to replace Steele at the RNC is Mike Duncan, Rove’s partner in American Crossroads who jumped into the running last night at the chairman’s candidates debate:

Divide and conquer, and divided we stand, united we fall applies here. The O team is enjoying every moment. You can’t make everyone 100% happy, and sometimes we have to swallow things we don’t like in order to make a change. Beware don’t let the MSM make the choices.
I’m stupefied that anyone would compare Huckabee to Ronald Reagan. It’s preposterous.
So true, so right on the money.
Is there any way to influence Palin’s position on Illegal Immigration? I voted for her in 2008, (not McCain), but she is for de facto Amnesty. That is the only thing about her that prevents me from drinking the Palin “kool-aid”. I can’t stand any of the other possible candidates, but I don’t trust her (or them) on this issue.
Rollins is truly our “Carville.”
