I really think we are getting to the point where money is not as important in elections as it once was. The Internet is changing politics much like it has changed everything else. Remember, Mitt spent quite a bit last race and couldn’t even beat McCain or Huckabee.
Personally? I blow off all the political ads, posters, and phone calls. I won’t even answer my phone unless I know whose calling, and I get virtually all my news online. No amount of money is going to overcome Internet buzz, and Palin has plenty of that. Have no doubt. Traditional media is dying and so is traditional campaigning.
I said that Mitt has more than money, he has the GOP establishment and the media behind him, not just pushing him, but attempting to permanently knee cap his challengers and end their careers forever if it is a conservative republican, they will sacrifice 2012 if they need to.
