Regardless of Palin's exceptional and iconic appeal and popularity with her base, to the rest of the electorate and specifically the swing voter, she's kryptonite. The Dems understand this perfectly well. So long as they can keep Palin relevant and germane and in the public's consciousness, the Dems can paint Palin as the face of the GOP. This has the much intended effect of alienating the middle-of-the-road voter - the voter that often times elects politicians.
Every time that Palin (or any member of her family, for that matter) is talked about in the MSM, the Dems win. An unpopular statement and I suspect an uncomfortable reality for many here to face.
I agree with you. But she was thrown into the fire before she was ready. Sort of like what is happening right now with Jindal.
I agree with you : What we are seeing from the leftists in the media isn’t fear, it’s loathing. To them, Sarah Palin is less than human-and the contempt in which they hold her is equaled only by the contempt in which they hold everyone of similar beliefs and background (especially re: abortion). That’s why they are are trying to destroy her-because in their opinion, she is unworthy of existence, NOT because they think she’s capable of being a threat . What they are doing to her is what they would gladly do to any conservative and probably to most Christians (certainly to all prolifers).
Baloney. You think people are really paying attention to Palin now? They're more concerned about losing their jobs and their homes. Those so-called independents and moderates aren't following politics right now, only the political left and right are.
