Not so fast, Howard Dean
Howard Dean, former Democratic National Committee chairman, made the statement that he believed Sarah Palin could beat Obama in 2012.
It would seem to me, Dean is using a ploy that is ages old.
Baseball teams, as an example of this ploy, would sneak in a ringer to bat for their side. He looked like some guy who would whiffle the ball barely past the pitcher’s mound. Then he stepped up to the plate and sent the “off” pitch over the fence.
Dean’s set-up is not going to work; Palin’s wheels came off long ago. The Establishment Republicans saw to that. She is a cheerleader and speechifying motivator; other than that forget her being president. Sorry, girls.
