She’s absolutely the very best.
God bless and keep her and her precious family.

They both were targeted. AND WE did not protect them as the precious people they are. Its not too late. Get behind them and bring them to power.

Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace.

Or "lying-through-his-foul-teeth" Charles Gibson, misquoting Palin in a set-up question, and when she sent the polite social signal "I'm not sure I said that" he replied haughtily, with the social superiority of looking down at her over his glasses(*), "Exact quote." (Even though as hindsight shows, it clearly wasn't, so even if he hadn't known, he *should have known* (and given his resources as a leading talking head for a major network, even the appearance of ignorance-by-design on his part is unforgiveable.)

(*) note that this is one of the things liberals accuse sexist misogynist men of doing to women, but it doesn't count when one of their own does it: this is strictly a cudgel with which to attack their opponents, and heretics from the liberal fold.

Right. The fact is that Quayle was perceived as a threat, but even what he endured was nothing like what Palin endured.

Good point. Perry and Bachman both poached on her turf. Conservatives would not unite behind her, and of course we have the Bush henchman, Rover, out there with his knives. Jeb could not run, but has hopes for 2016, and a Palin clearly not something they want out there.
