Sarah would have to have taken on the GOPe as well as the Rats and the MSM. It would have been brutal. I think Perry jumping in made up her mind for her. Perry was suppose to be on her side but instead of supporting Palin, he jumped in ahead of her. So we have betrayal by Perry and thinly veiled attacks my MB. Both of whom should have been supporters of Palin, not enemies. All in all to many enemies and not enough supporters in 2011 to have a creditable shot at winning. Palin should have spent 2010 lining up support, hopefully that is exactly what she is doing now.
I will always believe that Perry entering the race it what kept Palin from jumping in.
And if Perry hadn’t of been by far the worst debater of all time, he would of won the nomination and the election easy.
Palin had no way of knowing that Perry would be so amazingly horrible at debating.
Good point. Perry and Bachman both poached on her turf. Conservatives would not unite behind her, and of course we have the Bush henchman, Rover, out there with his knives. Jeb could not run, but has hopes for 2016, and a Palin clearly not something they want out there.
