One good thing about Sarah coming, it is driving the libtards insane on local message boards.

I’m surprised you say that’s a good thing. It sounds like to me she is firing up the Liberal voting base to be even more intense about defeating Roberts. Just sayin’

It's hard to say. The chance at knocking off an incumbent Republican Senator is going to really fire up the Liberals alone. With capabilities like "Catalist" the Libs have what has been accurately called a "ferocious" ground-game, nation-wide.

So it's arguable that the Liberal base is already fired up to the point where, helped by their big-data GOTV advantage, they'll max their turnout, regardless. While having Palin come in and endorse Roberts could fire up the Conservative base enough to present an effective counter.

This ongoing conversation does illustrate some of the differences between the GOP and Dems when it comes to accepting the word (or even just the presence) of surrogates as a good enough reason to support a candidate.

Case in point, in KY the Democrat challenging McConnell, Alison Grimes, is now moving far right and trying to sell herself as a Sarah Palin clone. Which should, if anything, depress turnout among the Liberal enclaves in places like Louisville and Lexington.

But despite the fact that KY Libs should be really ticked that "their" Senate candidate is running commercials playing up gun rights, support for coal and opposition to the EPA, they won't be. Reason why is that a few weeks back Elizabeth Warren parachuted in to endorse. So they know, with a wink and a nod, that Grimes is really one of them. Because Warren wouldn't be new BFFs with Grimes if she wasn't.

Conservatives don't seem to have this same sort of trusting relationship with our heros, like Palin.
