Really?
Give me, I dunno...10 examples of Palin being abrasive.
And FWIW....I think Sarah Palin is a lightening rod ( IMO, not of her doing, though...)....and probably not the right POTUS candidate in 2012.
That said...give me your examples.
Just recently, her blood libel internet speech, which was completely unnecessary because the conservative media had pretty much exposed the liberal lies about the Arizona shootings.
And, she recently implied Rick Santorum was a "knuckle-dragging Neanderthal."
She asked John Kerry the question, "Why the long face?"
She'd make a great talk show host. But, these are the sort of comments that turn off undecideds.
