“the fact remains that the Left and the MSM are inciting violence against Palin and her family and they expect her to remain quiet.”

Others have commented re the FNS panel saying that Sarah should have remained quiet.

I’m thinking the FNS panel didn’t read the poll and the left MSM either didn’t read it, or read it and it scared the bejeebers out of them:

“Media outlet after media outlet panned Sarah Palin’s video response to last Saturday’s Tucson shootings with some going so far as claiming it ended any chance she might have of becoming president assuming that’s even her goal.

Destroying this myth was a new poll published by Media Curves that actually found Americans seeing the former Alaska governor as more likeable, sincere, and believable after watching her speech:

Respondents were asked to rate Sarah Palin on a scale from 1-7 regarding likeability, believability and sincerity, with 1 representing “not at all strong in this attribute” and 7 representing “extremely strong in this attribute.”

“With the exception of likeability among Democrats, Palin’s attribute ratings increased among all parties after viewing her speech. The most notable increase was her sincerity ratings, which increased from 2.62 to 2.69 among Democrats, from 5.25 to 5.45 among Republicans and from 3.68 to 3.85 among Independents.

The poll also found:

•An increase in the number of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents that see her as a positive figure in the United States after viewing the speech •40 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of Republicans, and 56 percent of Independents feeling the speech helped her image •37 percent of Democrats, 78 percent of Republicans, and 54 percent of Independents feeling the speech helped her potential run for president.”

Months ago Palin mentioned she was receiving help from numerous sources to improve her knowledge on various issues and to solidify her thinking on items she felt she needed more information on.

Whoever she has helping, it’s working. With almost two years to go Palin today has better credentials and understanding of how things work, and don’t work, and she’s already better than the current crop of Republican candidates.

I’m not on a Palin bandwagon yet either. I prefer to wait to see who is running and what they bring to the table. But I also believe anyone else will have to be better than Palin to win the nomination. By her actions and presence, Palin raises the bar for every other candidate.
