I believe that Palin alone really wants to reverse years of creeping (and sometimes bounding) socialism. But the liberals who worship Obama will hate her every minute and for every socialistic law and regulation and EO she overturns. Even as the US once again turns toward prosperity, they will hate her and be convinced that she is destroying the US.
Could the “20% hardline Socialists” despise Sarah any mor than the 60-80% Conservatives despise Zero? I never saw anyone more polarizing than Zero. The country has been split and in turmoil ever since he campaigned for POTUS.
