Sarah Palin’s political power in the Republica party comes for the most part from people that are sick and tired of the crap McCain has pulled over the years.
If McCain is flushed despite all the endorsements (including from her No. 1 competitor, Mitt Romney) and strings and favors and money he has built up, it will demonstrate the strength of the power behind Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin is just one human being. Her power, like the power of all politicians, is given to her by other people.
Most of her supporters,including myself, are willing to cut her some slack on her support of McCain, but can you find me one person in Arizona who is going to change their vote because of this endorsement and support? What does that tell you?
And if there are enough of us (in Arizona) to knock off a senior senator in a PRIMARY who just two years ago was the head of the presidential ticket? What would that tell you?
It would tell you that we are the most powerful force in American politics today. And because Sarah Palin is the only current national politician who has garnered our support in a significant degree on a national level, at this point in time, our power is her power.
Thus, despite conventional wisdom, a McCain defeat, even after Sarah Palin has supported him, would demonstrate the strength of her power and influence, not weakness.
If they are so sick and tired of the crap McCain has pulled over the years, as you claim, then why are they giving political power to someone who is helping to perpetuate McCain's ability to continue pulling MORE crap?
Oh please. Its this slack cutting thing that disturbs me. Did you cut the RINO Romney slack for backing Mc
Cain?
This is my problem. Your eyes are wide shut. I actually like the woman Palin, but her political tactics lately are disturbing.
She needs to be taking on serious issues and building a serious conservative candidacy. You don’t do that by backing McCain and doing Jay Lenos monologue. Even though she was quite good at it.
If Palin is also tired of the McCain tactics, she would be more agreeable to you if she wasn’t out there trying to get this POS reelected. Yes?
