Oh, I KNOW she wanted to win Michigan! They spin it like it was Obama’s for the taking. No way! A galvanizing effort in Michigan could have swayed a lot of hearts and minds in Ohio and Indiana.
As bad as things were, the GOP could have had the 2008 race. Sarah knew it. No one else seemed to think so. It was close enough, as it turned out.
Sarah busted her ass for that campaign. They never wanted to win. Sarah at least wanted to try. She saw the writing on the wall when they all gave up around her, she was probably like “What gives, I thought you guys want to win” they probably all laughed at her when she said that, so she knew what she was dealing with.
Here she is, being smeared by the press day after day, yet she still busted her butt and had 6 rallies per day and STILL wanted to travel to Michigan and give it a try. Now THAT is leadership
As a Michigander, had Sarah and Todd come here, they could have done serious damage to Obama, dare I say win the state. And yes, even with the Detroit area.
