Unless I really missed something from my morning Vast Right Wing Conspiracy e-mail for several months, Sarah did not run in 2010, and turnout was not a problem for us.
Sarah did not poll especially well among swing voters. Those folks are incredibly ill-informed and actually believed she said things that were said by Tina Fey. I've said this before and I'll say it again: those jackasses will vote for the picture they see on the last pamphlet that's handed to them before they walk into the fire hall. They've been brain fed the message that Sarah was Dan Quayle in a skirt, and they still believe it. Her dropping out will have no effect on the Idiot Middle.
I've also said this many times, and I'll say it again: with the exception of a very very very small percentage of cut-off-my-nose-to-spite-my-face people, Sarah's natural constituency is NOT going to stay home. And more to the point: if you think she's going to let them stay home, you don't known Palin very well. She's going to tell them to get off their asses, and she's going to pressure candidates who want her endorsement to endorse some of her program.
Every election with an incumbent is about the incumbent. The message that Barack 0bama is a dangerous left-wing radical, while true, has never been believed. The message that he is completely incompetent has taken hold. His latest "strategems" have made clear he has no counter-punch for that attack. None. He's going to pull the race card: people are already sick of it; the class warfare card which is easily deflected by pointing out that he himself didn't want to raise anybody's taxes just a few months ago. He's going to say it's Bush/Tsunami/Flooding/Hurricanes/Europe's fault; everybody is sick of his excuses, which have become a joke.
He's finally going to settle on claiming this is about a "competing vision for the future of America." Yeah, you said that last time. We've all seen how the hopey-changey vision works. It doesn't.
Between now and November 2012, there's virtually nothing that can happen that's good for him, and plenty that's much worse than it already is.
Stay focused and stopped believing the nonsense.
Agreed...
The conservative growth in this country is not about one person and their run for office...the left tried this with Obama and it is not helping them, even with the public schools and the media working with them.
We cannot pin our “hope” on one person and throw in the towel when that person does not do what we want them to do...work from the idea and help develop more people that have the same ideals...that is where we will win.
