>> Could it be the 24/7 trashing she receives in the media <<

Of course, that's the overwhelming reason for her high unfavorables -- perhaps at a level of 95% causality. But it's as inevitable as is tomorrow's sunrise. All the King's horses and all the King's men aren't going to change this unfortunate reality.

>> the scoffing she gets even on "conservative" sites such as FR <<

Maybe that's 2 or 3% of the cause. But certainly not a big factor.

And so the libs have won, in doing exactly what they set out to do to her, and we should just pack it in and go home?

Yes, it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

They bash her non-stop, then publish polls from the easily led sheep saying she has ‘high negatives.’

This is how the establishment elite (regardless of party) does it.

I have to support and defend Sarah Palin, because all their attacks on her are really attacks on me.

I have had it with the RINO establishment that gave us: Nixon, Ford, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and now Romney...

I want a REAL conservative!!!!

Go Sarah!

The other way of looking at it is that any GOP candidate, after winning the primaries, will be subject to the same treatment. Palin's already been "vetted", and the media have pretty much shot all of their ammo -- when campaigning begins and the public sees that's she's not the caricature they've been told she is, what then?
