And people may view Palin as unelectable because they have weighed the evidence so far and come to that conclusion.

So, tell us what evidence you have weighed and how you came to your conclusions. Others will speak for themselves.

I was not referring to my weighing of evidence at all.

Your bullying tactics will not pay off for you.

And I have made no decision about whom I will support in the next election. It is way too early for that. But you will not win support for any candidate with your tactics and your tone.

Aside from some policy differences, there is this:

The fact that so many of her most ardent supporters blame the media, John McCain's staffers, newspaper columnists, RINOS, "jealous women", other conservatives, anyone and everyone else when she makes mistakes, is a big part of it.

The idea that it is always everyone else's fault is distasteful in the extreme. Politicians make mistakes. Admit it, learn from it, and move on.

When so many of her supporters demand unwavering support and are now telling even her Conservative critics that there is no place for them if they dare disagree, they are saying that she needs a pass on harsh criticism, that she can't make it without special treatment.

That may not be their intention, but that is the message this sort of thing broadcasts loudly.

The idea of coronating anyone for the office of President is one of the single most distasteful things most conservatives can think of. No one deserves the Presidency. They get it on their own merits or on their perceived merits or they will not get it at all.

If you want to make conservatives run screaming, tell them they have to support her or else. Like the Founding Fathers, we're not all that keen on royalty.
