It confounds me, too!
I admit, I think we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Sarah Palin. But, if for some reason, she is not our nominee in 2012, I will vote for whomever is. We cannot risk another term of Zero’s ilk.
Maybe some are turned off of her because of her supporters’ zeal in defending her against attacks. Maybe we are quick to refute mis-information about her. It is natural, though, in light of the blatent onslaught to destroy her for the last 3 years before she even gets a chance to run her own campaign and present her record to the people. She was hamstrung by McCain’s people and the media was not given the usual notebooks on her record that is usual for introducing a candidate. McCain’s campaign did her a terrible disservice, in part because they wanted her to be a surprise. It is really hard to go back and try to undo the damage. It is possible, and I think once Palin starts campaigning she will show people that she is a well-qualified, common-sense unifier who will appeal to conservatives, independents, and Reagan Democrats.

You've expressed the bottom line, in my opinion. Some people are falling all over themselves over the opening acts, but they haven't seen anything yet. The main attraction is still to come.
I think we're going to witness a campaign for the ages. She's going to re-write the book on how it's done.
