Huck—this is a serious question. Why does she dislike Palin. I’m curious.

As you say, she is like a bellwhether—maybe we can get a peek into what is a major hurdle for a Palin candidacy.

[Huck]

As you might expect with independent voters, it's her, not her positions. I would boil it down to a basic lack of trust and a lack of rapport. She just doesn't connect with her.

For example, she watched Palin's Alaska tv show and HATED it. Just thought it was boring and for whatever reason found Palin insufferable.
