I've noticed this too, and have brought it up often when debating with her detractors. And that's not the only unofficial measure of her support. There are loads of others, and they all point to the fact that Palin has deeper, wider support for her presidential run, than any other candidate, declared or otherwise.
I'm not into serving up crow pie, but after she declares and shoots to the top of the heap, the tone among some around here is going to change dramatically.
BUMP. You guys are right.
