But why was Palin allowed to continue her weird non-campaign for so long? Why did her supporters only fawn on her, every time she slighted them?

Cult of personality. Frightening isn't it? This is a good lesson that human nature is what it is, and even people with learned, common sense conservative political beliefs can fall into the trap of glorifying an individual to the point they believe that person infallible.

Yes, ConservativeGG unfairly took a lot of abuse and venom for speaking the truth. She handled it well, consistently responded thoughtfully and is a most impressive member of the conservative community.

As to the Palin fanatics who were blinded and couldn't even rationally discuss anything to do with Sarah, well, I hope they learn a lesson from this. It was an unhealthy obsession and it's good this chapter is finally closed.

Excellent analysis. Yes, it was an unhealthy obsession.
