I can remember how many people, most people, here attacked Sarah Palin back in 2007 and 2008. How disappointed most people here were when Sarah got the vp nomination. Most everybody (here) was saying the same things about Sarah Palin 3 and 4 years ago.
I don’t know why people eventually started to switch to Sarah, but only after she lost in 2008.
Maybe the same thing will happen with the conservative Michelle Bachmann. Michelle Bachmann also won’t be very well liked around here until a few years after obama beats Romney?
I didn’t see that here. The reaction to Palin on FR was very positive from the jump. You can go back and look at the threads.
Here’s the very first mention of Palin on FR from June 11 2003:

Here’s the threads from the day McCain picked her. The reaction was very positive:

You're full of sh!t.
Palin was always a star on FR.
What was your FR screen name in 2008 when you (and no one else) purportedly saw how disappointed everyone at FR was with the Palin nomination. CGalen has a July 2011 signup date, so that persona certainly didn’t see what you are claiming.
You are insane, freerepublic was ecstatic when Palin was chosen, we breathed a huge sigh of relief and finally found some joy in the 2008 election, she electrified us.
The Sarah Palin enthusiasm was off the charts at freerepublic.
How would you know? You only signed up at FR last month.
Not to mention that fact that what you said is a complete falsehood. FR was ecstatic about Palin getting the VP nomination in 2008, and except for a small contingent of malcontents, has remained staunchly supportive of her.
Perhaps you're remembering the good old days when you were posting at DU.
