She's right

Sarah Palin, in a recent interview, on what went wrong in the election:

"It's amazing that we did as well as we did," Palin, who was Sen. John McCain's running mate, said of the election in a separate interview with the Anchorage Daily News. "I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration?"

Exactly. The spending issue and huge deficit, I'm convinced, was a major factor in driving conservative independents away from the GOP. So she's right, and this is why she's one of those who will shape the future of the Republican Party.
