Here is the conventional wisdom in politics, a candidate cannot win without their base.
The sophisticated pundits have been talking about the Republican base as if it were shrinking. What is shrinking within the Republican party is; the conservative base that has left the Republican party to become Independents.
That conservative base is where Palin brings her star power to the 2010 midterm elections.
Note to the professional pundits. You are new to the Palin factor and your conventional wisdom was really never conventional or wisdom at all.
Your analysis is called the status quo in the mundane thinking in politics.
For Palin, she brings with her travels, the base that is still with the Republican party and outside the Republican party.
Pay no attention to the psycho babble of the professional pundits that have hypnotized many to think the base is shrinking, the base has been waiting for a candidate to rescue them from the doldrums of the status quo.
She is the Field of Dreams for that "shrinking base" that has laid and waited for that candidate to come along and rescue them from the mundane thinking of the status quo.
Who needs to quote the movie Field of Dreams' character, Ray Kinsella telling his wife "It's okay honey, I ... I was just talking to the cornfield" when you had a cornfield being cut down with Palin's figure.

I hope she judges VERY CAREFULLY whom she supports with her time and effort, because if we cannot get men and women of principle in there, if we cannot DUMP RINO’s like Mark Kirk who VOTED, seriously, for Cap and Trade....and now this coward wants to run for the SENATE ???? Forget it. We need a PRICE to be paid for lack of COURAGE and lack of a STRENGTH OF CONVICTION!
