Post by: Smid on August 06, 2012, 07:35:54 PM If she does, it means GOP internal polling is showing a weakness with the base. If she doesn't, it means there's no real problem with the base and they can use someone who will appeal more to the independents and moderates out there.

And there really is nothing to gain by not asking her to speak (as long as it's a short speech, and not in primetime). If she isn't asked to speak, then the media will keep harping on it, and it'll be a distraction. Title: Re: Will Sarah Palin get a prominent speaking spot at the convention?

If this patriot is not given a chance to speak, she will make herself the center of attention somewhere other than Tampa during the convention. Fox News probably won't abet her, but she'll find something to do, and cameras love her. |
