They had to destroy her. When she came out to give that acceptance speech in ‘08, it was clear we had a media mega-star. I’ll never forget the black look on Newt’s face while he watched her burn down the house. She was a woman, a sexy, beautiful woman who had plenty of moxie, ambition and great speaking skills. She shocked the good old boys of both parties. And they went after her with a vengeance.

Palin showed how one think, talk (i.e. fight), and live a conservative life.
