Notorious Palin hater? Please. I don't hate anyone. I do dislike the way some Palin supporters feel the need to trash anyone they think is a threat to her. And some of them have taken dead aim at Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.

Bachmann isn't a threat to Palin, but if she pulled off the miracle win in the primaries, she'd be a huge threat to the conservative cause.

She would get hammered in the general, causing conservatism to retreat for a decade because of the losses to the democrats.

Let's just say (nicely) her inexperience in executive positions, her lack of legislative victories and life achievements wouldn't help her in a national election. Pushing her as the conservative candidate to vote for at this point is a huge mistake.
