Ol’ Juan is in deep trouble with THE biggest threat in his career, now that Hayworth is breathing down his neck. Having Palin drag him in front of the Tea Party audience and build him up in an image he does not deserve, is what is causing her to lose so many of those who used to support her.
I see it as a direct violation of Principle.
I also like the spunk of the heckler, the second some big oof laid hands you saw a some sort of swift reaction.
