No, it’s not.
You play against the other team, not your own.
there are only two teams, but both have a lot of players on the bench. Usually somewhere around 9, coincidentally.
The primaries are about being picked by your team to take a swing at the ball.
Whether or not you strike out or hit a home run depends on whether you win or lose the election.
When you strike out, you’re out of the game, and someone else on the bench gets picked by the team to take a swing next time around.
Palin is finished as a viable Presidential candidate. She abruptly quit office. No amount of wishful thinking and denial will change this.
Yes, she and her family have been ruthlessly and unfairly attacked.
Yes, there is a blatant double standard when it comes to conservatives vs. liberals.
She might have been able to resign office during the thick of a campaign, but now? Forget it. Quitting office will be the MSM template, and she will have to start virtually every interview and press conference by explaining or answering questions about not sticking it out for even one term. This is also ignoring the possibility of some bad press coming (scandal).
She quit. She can run in 2012, but her candidacy won’t get off the ground. I’ll be glad to admit if I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.
“When you strike out, you’re out of the game, and someone else on the bench gets picked by the team to take a swing next time around.” ???????
Not true. You are NOT out of the game. Your baseball analogy has completely fallen apart. Nice try though. BTW, what grade are you in?
