“The result is that the Republican presidential candidate is left without the endorsement of a woman who can energise his base in a way he can only dream of.”
And if one votes for someone just because of an endorsement, I would question that person’s ability to think for themself.
I wouldn’t vote for Romney just because Sarah Palin (or anyone else, for that matter) endorsed him. I will only vote for him because a second term for Barack Hussein Obama, unshackled and with nothing to lose, is unthinkable. I’m guessing that most Germans in 1946 wished that they could go back to the 1930’s and do things differently, don’t you? And in 2013, conservatives, Tea Partiers and the like will be the Jews in 1943.
Well Romney questions voters ability to think for themselves with all his groveling for support from other politicians - and some conservatives politicians believing they will sway them and it worked.
