They know Sarah will run in 2012 and they are mounting a 4 year campaign to destroy her chances. Destroy Palin and pump up Obama after he fails to deliver.
You betcha. The bastards have it out for her.
Absolutely spot on. A fun tactic to try on liberals is to point out that "Sarah must have a pretty good chance in 2012 because the intense campaign to destroy her proves the liberal left sure is scared of her". Then add... "Shows you aren't very confident in Obama".
It drives them incoherent - or I should say more incoherent.
