In contrast to the easy pickings with the Bachmanns, what’s scary to the left about Palin is that although she is straightforward about her Christian and conservative convictions and she has been very actively pro-life, she, like Reagan, doesn’t speak with hate or intolerance toward those who are gay or pro-choice.
She, her family and her state are clearly very much of a libertarian line of economic conservative-first policy and that’s why she has historically been able to do so well with independents.
