I think this post following the article nails it:
“It looks like Williams has caught a case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. If Palin wins the nomination, she’ll crush 0bama, for the simple reason that she will actually fight him tooth and nail. Any of the others, Huckabee, Romney, Gingrich, Christie, Pawlenty, will run a campaign very much like McCain, afraid to go after 0bama on anything for fear of being called a racist.
Palin hasn’t let any of the negative attacks on her slow her down a single step, every thing that has been thrown in her path, she has sidestepped, or leaped over, and has always moved forward.BY gah on 12/02/2010 at 11:21”

And this type of courageous behavior will only serve as a multiplier, to further embolden the conservative rank and file.
Indeed, this has already been progressing, gloriously unchecked, since she exploded onto the scene in August, 2008.
