Very true and their malicious slanders will only grow worse if she actually announces. I think she's great but not yet Presidential material.
She has very strong appeal to conservatives but the rub is that independents decide elections, not conservatives. We have to win in 2012! Unless we field a candidate with strong crossover appeal (and elect a veto-proof majority in the Senate) the next 4 years under Dear Leader will give him plenty of time to pack the Supreme Court, appoint a host of new czars and turn the U.S. into a fascist/socialist dictatorship. I honestly don't think I'm exaggerating.
and you think the media will not do the same to the next gop hopeful? you think they will allow mitt or Newt or christie to skate by without mudslinging and character destruction? If Palin withdrawls it means the media wins and will only redouble their attacks on the next person in line. It is why bush should have fought back.
Nor do I.
