Sarah Palin - Supermagnet!

Could it be? Is Sarah Palin merely playing the part of the supermagnet to help save the GOP, conservatism, and, well, America?

Frankly the idea is extremely exciting to me. Every day that Sarah Palin is all over the news with liberal talking heads and editors attacking her and obsessing over her is another day that the GOP has to shake down its list of viable candidates for 2012 and get itself organized without the liberal spotlight on them.

When Sarah takes a day off and the press gets antsy and starts looking at the GOP prospects they go on and on (and on and on...) about how 'weak' the field is and how unknown the 'frontrunners' are.

I'm not seeing this as a bad thing. Candidates that the liberal press finds unappealing, unelectable, and unknown are probably exactly the kinds of people we want duking it out for the GOP nod. After all, the last person they found so offensive and unknown was Governor Palin herself - still think she's an unknown?

Every day that we weed out the wacky and the wishy-washy without the press deciding we should run McCain again is a good day for conservatives and America, because let's face it, we need a conservative, sound candidate to get into the White House in January of 2013. Another 4 years of this might be the end for us.

So while the supermagnet rides around the country firing up conservatives she ensures that the bullets from the press are trained firmly on her and not on the GOP primary candidates. This 'mobile magnetizing' that she's doing now is fantastic - it fires conservatives up all over the country, ensure that even the flak from local media can't head towards other candidates since they can't resist Palin, and ensures long-term coverage, keeping the liberals away from the GOP primary for a long stretch. It keeps them from being able to make up garbage about decent candidates, pretend that nuts like Trump are the face of the GOP, and maybe draws away some of the negative, vicious liberal attention that might otherwise keep a good candidate like Perry out of the race.

Roll on, Sarah, you're the supermagnet - they can't resist you. There is nothing better you can do for America than what you are currently doing.
