There must be something really big at stake, bigger than what we can see, or know right now.

if they destroy O'Donnell, it stops Palin (in their mind). Most of them will back Bloomberg 3rd party if Palin gets the nomination for Prez.

A campaign to blunt Palin in 2012?

She definitely is a threat to the elites. If anything, the Tea Party and the success of the candidates she has endorsed has made her their target.

She is the ultimate DC outsider, and that will be her draw by 2012.
