Candidates who are drafted are not driven enough to win. I supported Fred Thompson last time and learned this lesson the hard way. The day is long gone when we will elect a candidate who is diffident about actually winning. I also helped draft Goldwater, he never fought to win either. I’ve learned my lesson, we need to find a conservative of Caesarian ambition.
Well enough said. If Palin doesn’t declare, then you have made your point. If she does, I look forward to your joining the camp.
I supported Hunter, who didn’t need to be drafted. I kept saying that his one weakness, lack of name recognition, would be overcome simply by the process of whittling down candidates. That didn’t necessarily come true for him, but it did come true for Sarah.
So now that there’s a conservative with name recognition, what will the excuse be?
