If former Governor Sarah Palin has been “Palinized” as you say, why is she on the Smithsonian’s list of the 100 Most Significant Americans

You did not address your Post to me 2DV, but, I'd like to comment. I love Sarah. I'd vote for her no matter what office she chose to pursue. But, let's face it; the media has practically destroyed her chances of ever being elected to a national office. (I think that's why she did not run for the Senate this time against Begich.) Not too long ago a guy who has been a Reagan Republican his entire adult life said to me the other day: "Sarah Palin is a bimbo." Unbelievable! Some people REALLY DO believe that she said: "I can see Alaska from my house." The media can make or break a candidate, and they are trying to destroy Ted Cruz.

Watch her primary and replace John McCain two years from now. You heard it here first. Why else did she buy a house in Arizona?

I agree with every word Din Maker wrote.

I got to see Sarah palin and Andrew Breitbart from inches away and they were / are the Real Deal. I would definitely be very happy if she were president. However, the media got rid of her. I too know conservatives who think she is stupid. Most people I meet KNOW that she is stupid, ridiculous, and a joke. Worthless. They are SURE of this lie. Let me repeat: THEY DEEPLY BELIEVE that she is worthless and stupid. Not from anything she has actually done, but from the media (especially all the jokesters) portraying her as such.

Enough people on TV say it, and it is solid fact in people’s heads.

Which is why I am really afraid for Ted Cruz. We need — well, he needs — to predict and prevent this somehow, right about now. Because it is much harder to turn people’s minds around once they are SURE someone is an idiot.
