I’m wondering if she has figured out that Rush Limbaugh is more powerful than anyone “in” elected office and decided that is a good paradigm within which to REALLY cause change.

Palin will get there by the 2012 campaign. She is gaining several thousand a day. Right now she stands at about 815,000 supporters.

I can’t figure out why anyone would want to friend Slick Willard. Those 69 thousand must be family.

I was going to mention that. He has over eight times the number she does, but I doubt he’s picking up new supporters as fast as she is. Unfortunately, the chart only gives totals and not the change from last week or last month.

I’ve read rumors that her PAC received more then a million bucks after the “Death Panel” statement she made on Facebook. By the end if the year she will probably have over 2 million dollars

I was thinking the opposite, couldn’t a million or more of his followers be ordered to sign up tomorrow if it was seen as important?
