So-called "Conservative" commentator Byron York wrote that conservatives were "displeased" with her speech.
But York got his comments from some guy named Clovis who ran against Jodi Ernst in Iowa Senate primary.
Clovis lost, Ernst won. Sarah supported Ernst.
So is there any wonder that Clovis pooh-pooed Sarah's speech? And York used Clovis as his source for all Conservative's opinions?
From that incident I will consider Byron York a jerk not worth listening to any more.
Palin is a gifted politician. What better way to lower expectations than to give a mediocre speech in IA to throw off the MSM? That's where the rope-a-dope comment comes in.
And yes, the speech wasn't among her best even if the teleprompter broke.
