Well, no. Not in such clear words. If so, why hasn’t her message caught on? Trump leaps ahead of Mitt and Romney in a matter of weeks, Palin-—according to the latest poll-—was in single digits, at 9%. People keep looking for “hidden meanings” in what she does. Maybe it’s obvious: maybe she’s read the polls an knows that it’s a massive waste of money.
For two years Palin has been all over Obama, leading everyone else. It’s a significant credit to Palin that she hasn’t used the Alinsky tactic of targeting the person. Alinsky might have been clever but his lack of wisdom put him in a class with fools, and his advice was only destructive.
A likely explanation for the otherwise inexplicable failure to recognize Palin’s lead in criticizing Obama is that many have been confused by lingering images of the Tina Fey character. It’s true that Tina Fey’s anti-Obama message has not caught on, but we’re talking about Sarah Palin.
An announcement from Palin that she’s running for president would bring in unprecedented amounts of cash donations.
