I’m an Alaskan. I just returned from a conference in Vail, Colorado. Every single person I talked with who learned I was from Alaska said something positive about Sarah Palin. (This was before her announcement.) Not a scientific poll, certainly, but after the first couple of dozen people express their enthusiastic support for Sarah - along with a disgust of the media and politicians in general - I have think that something’s up.
My gut tells me politically, she’s about to become the face of the tea party movement and their ilk. However, we will see what happens.
This is the most succinct article I have seen. Profoundly nails it.
