Obama entered statewide politics as a candidate for the state senate. Prior to voting in the primary election for that seat, he had his rivals disqualified by technicalities. By doing so, he ran unopposed, thereby not needing any votes to defeat his rivals, and taking away any choice from the voters. One can argue that's simply good politics, just as one could say he was afraid to put it to a vote. The end result though, is he required no votes to win his first state election.

On the other hand, in Palin's case, she first lost one race and won her second, by running against inumbents. In other words, she let the voters make the choice.

Don't give up P.

You are stating facts.

That drives liberals crazy.
