[Rhodes22-list] POLITICAL-Palin Begins 2012 Campaign

Tue Nov 25 20:52:34 EST 2008

Rummy,

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is not going to happen.  Despite
what the pundits write, McCain would have lost by 10 points without
Palin.  There are still a few of us left who believe in ourselves and
not some some 'gubment' program as our path to happiness and
prosperity.  Will Palin make it to the Whitehouse?  Maybe, maybe not.
Unlike "The One" where people project their hopes on a blank slate,
Sarah Palin has a real record of accomplishments. Get use to is Rummy,
Sarah has always written her own ticket and she's not losing sleep
about your bitching.  Come to think of it, neither am I.
