[Psalm 144]

“Palin is hated and feared by the Left. I’d crawl over broken glass for her.”

I agree with you on all points. The problem is, she has been propagandized and maligned to the point that most independents presently dismiss her out of hand. She, and she alone, will have to be the one to dispel the slanders if she is to have a chance in the general election.

She will have a steep uphill slog, not only against the enemy before her but also with “friendly fire” aimed at her back by the likes of the Bush matriarchal coven and GOP catamites like Rove and trough feeders like Murkowski.

The others don’t seem to have what it takes to succeed if elected, even if they do win the general. I will take the long shot possibility for an honest and effective conservative though, over somewhat better odds for another wooden nickel from the Bohemian Grove.

I think that Palin could make a very effective speech (stump speech, or debate closer) about how most people haven't known her, but have formed judgments based on lies from her opponents and the media. She could ask people to make their own decisions. Take the power into their hands. Say that she is all about ending the manipulation of the system by the Washington insiders in government and in media. Don't be manipulated. Vote for me based on who I really am, not on who they say I am. They aren't looking out for you -- they're looking out for themselves.

She can turn their propaganda around on them by getting people to rise up against manipulation and propaganda.
