Palin has something that all of these politicians, including Jindal who I like, don't understand -- the ability to connect with ordinary people that they can only dream of, like I've never seen in American politics.
The long knives are out for Sarah and they come from all directions. If the people that were drawn to her by the millions abandon her now, she's finished. That's why the attacks come.
Absolutely 110% correct.
It was the late-added presence of SARAH which energized an otherwise moribund and apathetic conservative voting base.
It was SARAH who drew record-shattering crowds, everywhere she went on behalf of a sour and ungrateful McCain campaign.
Friendly little word of warning to any/all RINOs out there reading this, and thinking about standing in the way between this woman and the conservative base that adores her, anytime during the next four years:
You're expendable to us. SHE isn't.
