Since announcing her resignation, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been pummeled by critics who have called her incoherent, a quitter, a joke and a "political train wreck."
And those were fellow Republicans talking.
Palin has been a polarizing figure from the moment she stepped off the tundra into the bright lights last summer as John McCain's surprise vice presidential running mate. Some of that hostility could be expected, given the hyper-partisanship of today's politics.
What is remarkable is the contempt Palin has engendered within her own party and the fact that so many of her GOP detractors are willing, even eager, to express it publicly -- even with Palin an early front-runner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Sounds like this could be part of the big picture.
God bless Sarah Palin! She is up against a pack of wombats and rattlesnakes and still manages to keep a smile on her face. You know it’s easy to do this, when you can stand on your principles and values.
Not just that, but despite the mud they have been slinging at her, none of it stuck.
I'd wager the People on Capitol Hill who can be found completely free of career-wrecking indiscretion (at least by assumed Republican/Conservative standards) can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Unencumbered by such debts of silence, there is no leverage by which the establishment can sway her on issues.
That gives her the relative luxury of speaking her concience, and that scares people on both sides of the aisle.
#27. Yes, they did name GOP pundits. They are in the article. You can decide if their criticism is valid.
I am not going to their site, I don’t want to give that rag another hit on their counters. No, I don’t think any of its valid.
BUMP THAT.

Wow, that's a tagline if I ever saw one, reminiscent of Chuck Heston in Planet of the Apes! :D
does anyone, have that famous Chuck Heston /
Statue of liberty pic. handy? 
Good point. She has forced the RINOs to admit who they realy are—demrats by another name. The Demrat Party completed coopting the GOP after Reagan’s presidency.
Scared they are......and rightly so....she is bringing a new order and they are at the bottom....
It hit me this morning walking the dog.....something everyone had missed, the pondits, TV clowns, writers, et al: America Wants Sarah to be President. Period.
We don’t care what her background is, what her experiecne is, where she’s from what she wears, who backs her, etc. We want her to be our President and that’s all that matters....
I mean, look what we have now: Barney Frank, Al Franken, the Bomb....where is the criteria there? HOW could she be any worse than them......She is more honest than any of these clowns, has more administrative experience than the Bomb, has more proven moral intigrity that any 20 congress critters or Senators already demonstrated by her actions to date.....
She has tougher skin than any other elected offical and they have NEVER had to go through what she has had to go through, and she isn’t even President yet....
Quitter????? You mean by not milking one job to run for another, (Biden, Bomba, Hilterly, etc, etc, etc) she is a quitter.....don’t make me laugh....
And if she stayed up nights and worked around the clock she couldn’t be worse than those mentioned above, not even if she tried.....
So I say to the Andrea Mitchell Greenspans and the other hosts of fraud, and especially our good friends at the View, (worthless creitians whose opinion is worth less than toilet paper, which after all does serve a purpose) take a trip, get out, we don’t care what you think or say:
America has decided to give Sarah a chance to see what she can do, and that’s all you other clowns need to know.
LLS
This is the long-term response of our Government to the desires of the American public to participate in American Leadership....an indoctrination academy...will be sure no further Palins ever get near the levers of power...

Okay, I’m disappointed in the Times. There are several notable Republican/conservative pundits who’ve been critical of Governor Palin, folks prominent enough that people who aren’t complete political geeks might recognize and care about their opinions. So that’s the article I figured they were going to write.
Nope. We have...what?...three staffers. I barely care what the candidates and the actual pundits think about the governor being a player going forward, primarily because she is whether they like it or not. Imagine how little I care about what the staff pukes think. My reaction to Todd Harris is “Sorry, who?”. Oh, yeah, and “Miami Vice” is still a pretty cool old show. Stuart Spencer? You saw nothing that Sarah Palin added to the McCain ticket? Really? Pardon me while I slap some sense into your seeing-eye dog.
And Mike Murphy? The base is stupid? That’s your take? I mean, I’m a stupid grass-roots GOPer. I lack the view of the broader horizon, I guess. But it seems to me that if there’s a candidate out there that the base is really enthusiastic about, it’s a lot easier to get that candidate up to speed and build a majority on that base than it is to try to build enthusiasm from the bare ground up around somebody else. And telling the base they’re stupid would seem to make the job more, not less, difficult. And Mike...if you guys really can see that broader horizon, and you’re all as smart as you think you are, tell me this: How come you didn’t see the losses in ‘06 and last year coming and figure out how to avoid them? Well, good luck with your career there. And you stay classy.
And those congressfolks who don’t want the gov on the campaign with them...go find the T-Mobile Makeover commercial with the economists and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It’s on YouTube. Watch it and draw the obvious lesson.
Conservatives need to break away from the republican party and get the Conservative Party up and robust. Screw the two party (actually its the same) system.
Or, grass roots conservatives (individualists) need to root out and expel the elitists that infest the GOP.
Ok, who's you other 3?
