It is not just the liberal Dems she threatens, but the RINOs as well. Why do you think they are so quick to slander and try to present her as a bimbo? To shut down an attempt for the nomination in 2012.
She scares the MSM, too.
Keep track of the ones doing the slandering, the ones who broke the Reagan rule, and make sure that lot has to get their checks from the side they are on.
The country club RINOs are also trying to brand her as some 'hick from the sticks' because she scares the heck out of them and represents a power shift in the party--back to the Conservative base. You can see who voted Republican--rural areas, and largely because of Sarah.
I am just one of many who voted Republican because of Sarah Palin and not because of McCain who was number six of the seven primary contenders in my book.
She's a bigger threat to RINOs than to Dems. Indeed, the way to tell a moderate from a RINO is observe the reaction to Ms. Palin. A moderate won't be willing to go out on a limb for the conservative positions Ms. Palin puts forth, but he'll quietly applaud her for doing so. A RINO, by contrast, would rather attack Ms. Palin than the Democrats.
