I think it is more accurate to say they smell a potential candidate they can pull a Dan Quale on.
I hope you all do know that Quayle was given the card with the misspelling - by the school principal.
That said, I worked in an industry that had many high-fliers, and none of them (all guys) could spell worth a darn. But on the other hand, they could answer any question you asked them, knew enough to find out about things they may not have known, and could speak without a teleprompter.
Personally, I think Palin doesn’t want to be president and is thinking about who she wants to support. But that has the press scared out of their collective wits too.
If that were true, they'd be begging us to nominate her.
I don't see that happening, do you?
Please show me, if you can.
If you can't, then you're either a liar or an idiot.
yeah, because they’ve been giving her a free pass up until now.
No, the reason they’re scared is that they’ve been trying to pull a Quayle on her for the last four years, she’s still standing, and driving around in a bus with throngs of people throwing themselves at her feet. They’re trying to keep it quiet, but they know they’re going to have to start covering it soon.
As for whether she’s running... come’on. ;)
