You only have to read crowing accounts by "conservative" pundits like Kathleen Parker (who once wrote that Hillary Clinton was "well qualified" to be president) after Palin's supposedly bad Iowa speech.
The knives are out for many candidates, like Palin, who don't fit the elite right establishment bill of what a candidate is supposed to look and sound like. Scott Walker will probably get the same kind of treatment. He's now being skewered by some elite righties because he dodged some stupid questions from the media.
Yeah, we LOVE Sara Palin. She was born to carry a banner. I wonder if she did this speech without a tele prompter, she sure speaks from her heart with no tongue in cheek or double innuendos.
