There was a post on NRO about how Sarah threatens the Beltway/New York axis. They are terrified of her, because she is a conservative by experience, not by hobby. She is Joe the Plumber and all of us!
She could sweep in an entire Congress of people like her.
Think of that commercial by T-Mobil. Firemen running a city, asking logical questions, answering them, ending with “this is the easiest job in the world.”
A Congress of Sarah Palin’s would the same thing and crumble the power base in this country.
