Asserts the conservative Republican blogger in New York: "Governor Palin is the epitome of what America has needed, and despite the best efforts of
haters
to dismiss her out of fear, jealousy, or just plain ignorance, she
remains what America needs. Her record in Alaska demonstrates, too, that
she can be steadfast and principled while having the respect of people
on both sides of the aisle. An approval rating of 90% at one time
clearly speaks to the fact that she was in office to serve the best
interests of her constituents. If that meant calling out her own
party
— and it did
— then so be it. Perhaps that is precisely why many in
the Republican establishment would prefer she leave the room or at least
take a seat. If I were a betting woman, however, I'd place my bet on
her doing neither."
Ms. Ross continues her commentary about the former Alaska governor: "The GOP political elites seem hell-bent on caving, selling out
principles, and watering down the message. Wrong answer. While the
messaging could be improved, the message is right
— and we already have
the best messenger, if we'd be so wise as to acknowledge as much. The
Republican establishment will have to determine its course, but my focus
is on common sense Constitutional conservatism, and Governor Palin is
just what the conservative movement needs--now more than ever."
