I get the whole Palin worship bit. It's hard to avoid here lately. You don't have to reiterate how awesome you think she is.
But she polls the worst out of all of the candidates and has the highest negatives. She knows this and is not running. She said she'd get in the game only if there wasn't proper representation of her ideas in the field. Between Perry and Bachmann I think she sees that and will endorse one of them sooner or later.
Leaving aside the obligatory hyperbole, lies, and ugliness routinely employed by those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome, here is a properly sourced Time Magazine article from 1980 that just goes to prove my point concerning polling, read it and weep GunRunner!
