This is an attack on the entire conservative rebellion by the establishment. They want to isolate, and kill off it’s head (Palin).
They are willing to give up the Delaware Senate seat, and even Joe Miller (and more), to get at Palin.
We have watched this for two years, and we can count on two more years of it, the GOP establishment has been trying to gut Palin or at least weaken her, all along.
This is just another piece of the battle between the left and right of the Party, this is also a way for them to start pretending that they were in control of an historical victory, and we have only been interfering with it, rather than us creating it out of the ashes of their shambles of 2008 and 2006.
The movement not only does not need a leader - many of us have had it with leaders. Either govern with conservative positions or GTFO.
And Palin can dump McAmnesty, or not only will many of us continue to campaign against her if she runs - we won't be defending her from the ruling class as they target her.
We're not big on reaching across the aisle to liberals, regardless of the liberals party.
