That is a very simplistic comment. If you don’t support Sarah then you like Clinton, Bush and O’Bama. Sarah’s problems are much deeper than this article would have you believe. She is not at this time electable because the college educated, white middle/upper middle class conservative white voters aren’t comfortable with her. And if she can’t win the suburban counties around your major cities which are the stronghold of Republican and moderately conservative independents she can’t win the election. I live in one of those counties. Every 2 years we send one of the most conservative members of the House back to DC. We overwhelmingly supported our conservative governor twice and are as a group small government, low tax, pro-gun people, but most of my neighbors have told me they will not vote for Sarah in 2012. They want a candidate in 2012 that is competent, conservative and accomplished and see Sarah as only one of the 3. They want Sarah to do exactly what she is doing now. Campaigning, fund raising, working to get out the vote. Without these people the GOP loses in 2012, I don’t think they are in the no mood to vote for the lesser of two evils. They will sit out the presidential election if they are not happy with the candidates they have to choose from.

As always the anti-Palin bot heaves up a content free screed, never offering one single reason why "most of my neighbors" (Watch out Pauline Kael) won't vote for her. They are not "comfortable." They are not conservative either. You need to move to a better neighborhood. And stop stealing soundbites from George Will.

let them sit on their asses then. I am willing on taking a bet that if it comes down to Sarah Palin vs Obama.. more of them than not will eventually come into line with OUR position and vote for her.

because we are sure as hell are not following their lead. their lead got us John McCain.

If that is so, then your neighbors are no better than the liberal-parasites who sit around with their hand held out waiting for Uncle Sugar to give them their "gift" - however they personally define it. They can't see beyond themselves.

Vote however you like in the primary, but in the general, you should vote your party's candidate. But to "sit out" the election because your chosen candidate didn't make it on the ticket is just proof of self-centered immaturity, lack of integrity, character deficiency and general intellectual dishonesty. I have no use for folks with those defects.

Hate to be harsh about it, but that's my opinion. Opinions may vary.
