I agree, Palin deserves a huge amount of credit for 2010.
But the talk of Palin going 3rd party... where’s that coming from? Did she ever say that or imply that? If she did, I’m not aware of it.
Anyway, you are right, the GOP owes a lot to Sarah Palin and if she’s not nominated for presidential candidate she should be given a cabinet spot in a republican administration, if there is a republican administration and if she wants a cabinet spot.
Yes and NO.
Yes she was part of saving it, no she is not the only thing that saved it.
She helped. She isn’t singularly responsible nor even significantly responsible.
A lot of factors went into 2010 and will go into non-presidential races in 2012.
Should she not run, she will certainly help with he GOP top though the down-ticket race.
One of the points I was trying to make.
If Palin didn’t take the TP in a 3rd party direction in 2010 why would she take it in that direction in 2012?
Be more specific.
Which factors?
I understand and agree with you.
But previous to 2010, did she ever indicate in any way that she was even considering 3rd party?
I don’t think so.
McCain’s fault. ;-)
For what?
I think the Tea Party had a huge impact on the 2010 elections. Sarah herself was a small part of that. The larger part was everyday Americans getting out there and making their voices heard.
Considering the way the slimey way the GOP Establishment has treated Palin, they’ve pretty much proven to me that the Party is hardly ‘worth’ saving at this point. And I’m saying that as someone who has voted exclusively GOP my entire life, never wavering a single time.
2) Yes, I agree that the GOP Establishment attempts to erase the memory of Sarah Palin's influence in such election; and 3) N/A.
November, 2010 was the Tea Party Movement's victory and Sarah Palin is the best and most prominent spokesperson for that Movement.
Obama deserves the most credit for the TP his spending tripling down on Bush deficits. Rick Santelli then millions of folks in all 50 states. Sarah’s political instincts jumping to support the folks have serve her and her country well. Obama birthed the TP and Obama will die politicallly by them in 2012 thanks to the millions of folks that rose up and are expanding daily.
Good thoughts.
My personal opinion is that the Republican Party has not yet been saved. Obama and the democrats in DC have given the republicans a magnificent opportunity to save themselves. So far, Palin is the only one that has positioned republicans to benefit.
So, I guess I would say no, she hasn’t saved the party, but she has put a foot in the door, so to speak.
She is going to save this Nation!!
PALIN / WEST CRUSH THE LEFT!
Then start voting Dumbocrat if you think they’re better. You have no other choice.
I do not see Palin going 3rd party..
I believe Palin deserves much credit and gratitude for rejuvenating Republicans, inspiring and working hard to influence the 2010 elections..
Is Palin’s mother and father’s names Mary and Joseph?
Not saved, changed, and it needs to keep on changing. Sarah has played a huge role in moving the Republican Party from the establishment progressives who are losing to the conservatives who are winning. The whole thing is about saving this nation, and time is running short.
