1.) She Doesn't run, (and as things stand now) Obama wins reelection.
2.) She runs against the establishment and their lapdog media and wins.
3.) Another “Moderate” is the party nominee and offers the VP to Palin as a means of solidifying the base.
4.) She runs and is so trashed by the establishment her only recourse is to run as a Tea Party Independent.
As a Conservative, I see two of the four options as acceptable, but favor #2. That's how disgusted I am with the Republican establishment.
Maybe, scenario #4 is a battle which has to happen?
This might not be a bad outcome, all things considered.
Well, considering the rabid opposition she is facing, coming not just from the leftist main/lamestream media and the rabid leftists in government, but also from the Republican Party elites, she has an uphill battle ahead. An almost impossible feat.
If I were her, I’d say no thanks and just be a vocal sideliner. It’s a thankless job being President, despite all the good you do. Just look at how Reagan is STILL demonized by the left most of the time, while being held up as an icon and inspiration when it’s convenient or when they’re trying to ‘appear’ less extreme left. Look at how BJ Clinton has taken credit for the Republicans’ forcing him to balance the budget. Look at how Obama is now taking credit for Iraq, after years of the leftists, him included,
bashing Bush for liberating the Iraqis. It’s almost a lose-lose position, and one that takes a superhero strength of purpose. I would hope for a Palin win, but the realist in me does not see it happening.
I see a very long, dark period in history ahead for all of us. I wish it were not so.
