I wish she had run as well, but you must remember that her polling numbers were absolutely horrible around the time she declined. No doubt they are better now because people are fed up with the remaining candidates, but you can bet that if she had run, she’d have gotten a double-barrel of mud slung at her from both the moderates and the liberals.
That’s the thing. Palin was already completley vetted. They had nothing new to find.
The MSM had already shot their entire wad right up to releasing 12,000 pages of her work-related emails. I mean, they had nothing left on her except to repeat their old disproven claims or just harp on about Bristol’s baby. She was competely vetted.
Wait until the MSM goes after Romney the way they went after nominee McCain. Right now they are best friends with Romney but he will be “McCained” the second the general election race begins in earnest.
He will still win, but the MSM is going savage him.
“Can a Mormon Win?”
“Romneycare vs. Obamacare.”
“Are Republicans Fed Up with Flip Flopping Mitt?”
“No Massachusetts Miracle for Romney”.
It is going to be brutal.
