Still Fearing Sarah

Sarah Palin showed up in Georgia to campaign for Senator Saxby Chambliss in a runoff election. There is something to be said for this being a news story, at least a minor one.

I don't have a problem with this being reported, but just about the only thing you hear from the media is that Gov. Palin isn't really doing this for Senator Chambliss, but for her own political ambitions, and they say it as though she is doing something wrong.

The fact is, I'm sure, that she is doing this for two reasons, one is to help Senator Chambliss get re-elected, which is good for the Party, and also, yes, for her own political ambitions. To keep her face out there and make sure that people remember that she's still around, and that she isn't finished on the national stage.

There is nothing at all wrong with this, it is what politicians do. She has a opportunity here to help a fellow Republican, and help herself while she's at it. I am quite encouraged to see her being active again so soon after the election is over. She's not being selfish, or trying to undermine anyone, she's simply keeping herself visible to the American people so that she is remembered, rather than fading into memory. Nobody, especially a politician, wants to fall victim to the old "out of sight, out of mind" scenario.

The fact is that the media and the leftists, and the leftists in the media, who spent the entire election drooling all over Obama, are very fearful of Governor Palin, and what she might be able to accomplish if she can stay somewhat in the spotlight over the next four years.

The liberals finally have their power, and they are scared to death that the American people might wake up and they will lose their newly acquired power. They feel that they must continue to attack her at every opportunity, because they fear the possibility that she might defeat Obama for a second term if she is able to run in four years, and so, they feel the need to keep that from ever happening.

When you have to fear what will happen to your side when the people learn the truth, maybe you're on the wrong side.
