Millions upon millions stand ready to catapult her to the top, just as soon as she gives the word. She is an historic figure, of a type that has rarely been seen in US politics. The people perceive this about her, and resonate with her at a core level. No other US politician has this effect on people. None - including Zero.

You haven't given me one fact that makes Palin a better candidate to knock off Obama than a number of the others. Those millions who will vote for Palin are gonna vote for any Republican. Historical Figure? Upon reflection don't you think that's a little over the top? Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, those are historical figures. You've put her in with those people? Give me a break.

I may have an advantage on you. I live in the SF Bay area. I'm in a sea of liberalism. I have liberal relatives, friends, and co-workers. So I'm exposed to many people who aren't conservatives and don't post on FR. I listen to talk radio and the opinions of lots of people who do not share my very conservative views. So when I hear about the countless number of conservatives who are stimulated by Palin, I don't see it. Remember an enthusiastic vote is counted the same as a lackadaisical vote.

No, and it's not my job to give you the facts. If you're still wanting for facts and well-reasoned conclusions about the GOP field, and where Palin stands in it at this point, I can't help you.

Study period is over, my friend. The game is on, and you'd better take what you've got and choose whom to support.
