Sarah Palin’s Name Still Resonates In America
“A
little something to keep in the back of your mind as you contemplate
the most important election in the history of this country.”
By Dell Hill
Yes,
I know she decided to forgo a run at the Republican nomination for
president. And, yes, I’ve read and fully understand her reasoning. In
fact, I believe she made the right choice.
But
quite incidentally, I wrote and posted a piece on death panels and used
her name in the headline because it was relevant to the subject matter.
Within
two hours my blog referrals list had a new #5 with a bullet. The Bing
search engine produced 96 hits on that one headline alone....and I’m
certain it wasn’t because I used the words “Obama lied” in that same
headline. I’ve used that phrase before and never noticed any bounce in
the search engine referrals.

I
have the strong opinion that Sarah Palin will play an extremely
important role in determining who the Republican party candidate will be
and, further, who the next president of the United States will be. She
may have been out of the daily public spotlight for a while, but
wherever she goes to deliver a speech or if it’s just a book signing,
the lady draws huge crowds of avid supporters.
Some
(many?) have written her off; I’m not one of those people. She’s still
a much stronger conservative than most of the current class of
candidates and all she has to do is drop a hint and the lame-stream
media goes wild with excitement.
Dropping
out early - and some would say ‘very late’, but we haven’t even reached
the state primaries/caucuses yet, so her decision certainly wasn’t
‘very late’ - she may very well have strengthened her hand. All she has
to do is decide when to trigger the TEA Party into action and you’ll
see millions of her supporters back in the game and anxious for action.
If
I had to speculate, it wouldn’t be surprising if she waits until the
Republican convention before deciding who she’ll support for the
nomination. I think she’s more than willing to let the current
candidates hammer each other into the ground and spend small fortunes on
the nomination process, and then move in to throw her support to one of
those candidates.
The
impact of her support at that hour will produce the loudest headlines
and shift the conservative bus into high gear for the November
elections.
A
little something to keep in the back of your mind as you contemplate
the most important election in the history of this country.
