The country has been drifting to the left for 20 years, and this has acclerated under Obama.
Major change is needed, not just fixing things here and there, even if necessary, like the economy. The country needs an ideological shift, and a major injection of pride and purpose. Palin can do that, maybe uniquely so.
The time is perfect. An very liberal POTUS has shaken the country. FOX News is some help (it won’t be when Murdoch passes away). The Tea Party spirit is strong. Now is the time for major change.
They smear Palin with the word polarizing, but it isn’t true. She can change that perception with many folks in the middle when she starts running as a candidate, as against what she is doing right now, which is more like a conservative activist energising the base and opposition to Obama.
In 2008 conservatives had every reason to gripe of their choices in the GOP primary.
But if Palin runs in 2012 anybody who self-identifies as a Reagan conservative has absolutely no reason to bitch, whine or complain unless you vote for Palin first. But if you reject Palin because of what the MSM tells you, then you deserve to get Romney as your nominee.
