I don’t think the other side is scared of her. Yes they hate her.
But if they could pick any candidte to run against it would be her.
I hpoe that one day they are scared of her. But first she will have to be taken serously and will have to reach independents, Blue Dogs and Reagan Democrats.
Like Hillary or not, she made herself Presidential material by focussing on certain issues like foreign policy. She didn’t just give red meat speeches to NOW, ACT-UP, NAACP and Planned Parenthood.
I'm afraid you've seriously misread the left vs Sarah Palin. Your situational awareness could really use some updating, my friend.
There's just too much water under the bridge for me to recap the last 24 months for you, but the bottom line is that Sarah Palin is the left's worst nightmare. She's the last person they want to face in the 2012 presidential election.
Proof of this can be found in the sustained and unrelenting attacks against her from every quarter on the left. She sustains more flak and direct hits per day than any other nationally known Republican politician does in a whole year. That flak is directed at her because she is the biggest threat to the Democrat left's very survival. She will undo them, and they know this down to their bones.

I'm sure that you say that in all sincerity, but again, you've really got to come up to speed on where the country is at, socio-politically, and exactly what Sarah Palin's place in this resurgence is. Sarah is reaching all of the groups you named, with the possible exception of the "Blue Dog Democrats", which don't actually exist.
A good starting place to come up to speed on Sarah is her book, "Going Rogue". Read that, and you will understand that this is a person of real historical significance. Don't allow the other side to trick you into underestimating her. It's exactly what they want us to do, and so far, it sounds as though you've bought their anti-Palin line.
