The reason they pick on her so much is that they know she has been campaigning close to two years already.
Once you enter the race, you are fair game.
That is why the others have waited and stayed out of the limelight. Two less years of being savaged is a plus.
The MSM is actually holding back. They have damned her with faint praise.
In either case, I am glad that she has become an active voice in our national debate. And I'm also glad she isn't afraid of anybody, not even screwball Chris Matthews, who seems to have a peculiar crush on her and has had her on his show very frequently.
For me, I think, her most distinguishing characteristic and charming feature is that RINOS must loathe her and can't express one molecule of it to such a gracious poised intelligent lady.
LOL
Your post doesn't make sense on any level.
For one thing, she is no more running than Romney or Guiliani. In other words, none are declared and none have made any announcements. She isn't an official candidate simply because you have announced her as such.
She has a very limited run weekly show, unlike Huckabee's regularly scheduled television show. And Romney would love to be on television everyday, but it would only hurt his likeability.
I don't know if she's running or not, but it is not her fault that the media is obsessed with her. It's sort of pathological, really.
It will not surprise me if Governor Palin chooses to not run for president in 2012, but at the same time it would not shock me if she tossed her hat in the ring. I think, however, that she is enormously enjoying her present life, particularly all her media exposure.
